Answer:

9/16 of the food was left on Monday night. (option c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the entire set of grains was 1.

On Sunday, they ate 1/4 of the grains. [quarter implies one-fourth]

Grains left = 1-(1/4) = 3/4

Monday, they ate (1/4)(3/4) = 3/16

[Concept: The question says they ate a quarter of the left over food. Hence we need to take one-fourth of the food left which is \frac{3}{4}]

Hence the fraction of the food left is:

\frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{16} = \frac{9}{16}

Therefore, after Monday night 9/16 of the original food was left after the chickens went to bed.
