A park has 8 squirrels. Each squirrel eats 0.25 kg of nuts per day. How many kilograms of nuts are needed to feed all squirrels for 7 days?

Step-by-step solution

1. Multiply 8 squirrels by 0.25 kg per squirrel to get total daily requirement: $8\times 0.25=2$ kg.
2. Multiply daily requirement by 7 days: $2\times 7=14$ kg.
3. Result is 14 kg of nuts needed.
