    First, lets represent

    the gerbil eats 1 food unit

    the german shepard eats 14 times of gerbil or 14 food units

    together they eat 225 oz per week so

    gerbil=1food unit

    german shepard=14 food unit

    add them together

    gerbil+german shepard=15 food unit

    15 food unit=225 oz

    divide both sides by 15

    1 food unit=15 oz

    we want to find 14 food unit

    15 oz times 14=210 oz

    the german shepherd eats 210 oz per week
