The following problem is from both the 2014 CEMC Gauss (Grade 8) #2 and 2014 CEMC Gauss (Grade 7) #5, so both problems redirect to this page.

Problem

One scoop of fish food can feed 8 fish. How many goldfish can 4 scoops of fish food feed?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 12 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 16 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 8 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 64 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 32$

Solution

$1 \text{ scoop} = 8 \text{ goldfish}$

$4 \text { scoops} = 8 \times 4 \text { goldfish} = \boxed {\textbf {(E) } 32} \text { goldfish}$
