500 pound of mush is enough for 20 pigs for a week.
500M = 20P (for a week)
25M = 1P (for a week)
14Pigs will take 25*14 = 350 Mush for a week.

350M = 7Days.
50M = 1day
Since we only have 200Mush
200 mush will be enough for 14 pigs for 200/50 = 4 days.

Answer is A

If 500 pounds of mush will feed 20 pigs for one week, for how many days will 200 pounds of mush feed 14 pigs?

A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
E. 8

use
m1*t1/w1 = m2*t2/w2
20*1/500 = x/7 *14/200
x = 4
option A
