Final answer:

The problem is a mathematics ratio question where there are 40 fish chunks and 160 liver chunks in each bag of Chowboy's dog food, based on the given proportions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves determining the number of liver and fish chunks in a bag of Chowboy's dog food based on given proportions. There are a total of 200 chunks in each bag. If there are 4 times as many liver chunks as fish chunks, we can represent the number of fish chunks as F and the number of liver chunks as 4F. The sum of liver and fish chunks is 200, so the equation is F + 4F = 200, which simplifies to 5F = 200. Solving for F, we find that F = 40, which means there are 40 fish chunks and subsequently, 4 x 40 = 160 liver chunks in each bag.
