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 ]
Hence the fraction of the food left is:

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