Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
This problem does not contain enough information to be answered.
We can add the weights in pounds of the three rabbits, multiply by 1/24 cup per day, and multiply by 365 days to find the number of cups the rabbits need to eat in 1 year, but we are not told the relationship between cups and pounds of the dry pellets, so we cannot calculate pounds of pellets.
1/4 cup to 6 lb
Divide both parts of the ratio by 6:
1/24 cup to lb
Total weight of the three rabbits: 9 lb + 12 lb + 15 = 36 lb
Per day: 36 lb * 1/24 cup/lb = 1.5 cup
Per year: 1.5 cup/day * 365 days/year = 547.5 cups
The total volume of pellets used in 1 year is 547.5 cups.
The problem does not supply a relationship between cups of pellets and pounds of pellets, so we cannot calculate the points of pellets used in 1 year.
