Answer:

1 kg

Explanation:

Number of chickadees = 100

Quantity of seed eaten = 100 kg

Number of days = 100

Quantity of seeds each chickadee eats per day =Number of chickadees ÷ Quantity of seed eaten ÷ Number of days

= 100 ÷ 100 ÷ 100

= 1 ÷ 100

= 0.01 kg of seed

How many kg of seeds can 10 chickadees eat in 10 days?

= Quantity of seeds each chickadee eats per day × number of chickadee × number of days

= 0.01 kg × 10 × 10

= 1 kg

10 chickadees eat 1 kg of seeds in 10 days
