Answer 1

(D)80 days

Explanation:

Marco has 20 pounds of corn in a bag.

He scatters 1/4 pound of corn each day to feed the squirrels in his backyard.

The number of days for which the squirrel can be fed will be the division of the total pounds of corn by the share fed to the squirrel each day,

Therefore:

Number of Days =
`20 / (1)/(4)`

=20 X 4

=80 Days

The correct option is D
