Final answer:

You will need to put 1/24 of a scoop of birdseed into the feeder.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of scoops of birdseed that can fill the birdfeeder, we need to divide the total volume of the birdseed by the amount of birdseed that can be held in one scoop. The birdfeeder can hold 2/3 cup of birdseed, and the scoop can hold 16 cups. To find the number of scoops, we divide 2/3 by 16: 2/3 ÷ 16 = 2/3 × 1/16 = 2/48 = 1/24. So, you will need to put 1/24 of a scoop of birdseed into the feeder.
