-Suppose that <math>a</math> cows give <math>b</math> gallons of milk in <math>c</math> days. At this rate, how many gallons of milk will <math>d</math> cows give in <math>e</math> days?
-<math> \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{bde}{ac}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{ac}{bde}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{abde}{c}\qquad\textbf{(D)}}\ \frac{bcde}{a}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{abc}{de}</math>
-==Solution==
-We need to multiply <math>b</math> by <math>\frac{d}{a}</math> for the new cows and <math>\frac{e}{c}</math> for the new time, so the answer is <math>b\cdot \frac{d}{a}\cdot \frac{e}{c}=\frac{bde}{ac}</math>, or <math>\boxed{\textbf{(A)}}</math>.
