Answer 2

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose 1 barrel of the grass contains amount of grass = x

The bisons at the city zoo are fed
`(3)/(8)` of a barrel of grass each day.

Means bisons are fed amount of grass =
`(3)/(8) x`

The elephants are fed
`(7)/(3)` as much grass as the bisons.

Means amount of grass elephants are fed per day =
`(7)/(3) *(3)/(8)x`

Means amount of grass elephants are fed per day =
`(7)/(8)x`

`(4)/(7)` of a week means =
`7*(4)/(7) = 4` days

Means amount of grass elephants are fed in 4 days =
`4*(7)/(8)x = (7)/(2)x`

It means
`(7)/(2)` barrels of grass are fed to elephants in 4 days. : Answer
