If a hummingbird were to get all of its food from a feeder, then a 16 oz nectar feeder could feed about 80 hummingbirds a day. How many hummingbirds would you expect to be able to feed with a 12 oz feeder?

I think about 60 cause 80 divided by 16=5x16=80 and 16-4=12=12x5=60.

we know that
using proportion
16 80 ​ oz h u mmin g bi r d s ​ = 12 x ​ oz h u mmin g bi r d s ​ 80 ∗ 12 = 16 ∗ x x = 16 80 ∗ 12 ​ x = 60 h u mmin g bi r d s
therefore
the answer is
60 h u mmin g bi r d s

A 12 oz nectar feeder can feed about 60 hummingbirds a day. This is calculated using proportions based on the 16 oz feeder that feeds 80 hummingbirds. The mathematical process involves cross-multiplication to determine how many birds can be supported by the smaller feeder.
