Let's solve the problem step-by-step.

### 1) How much food does a shrimp get fed in one day?

The shrimp is fed \( \frac{1}{5} \) gram of food each feeding, and it is fed 3 times a day.

To find the total amount of food in one day:
\[
\text{Total food per day} = 3 \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{5} \text{ grams}
\]

So, the shrimp gets \( \frac{3}{5} \) grams of food each day.

### 2) Completing the table

Let's calculate the amount of food for different numbers of days:

- **For 1 day:**
  \[
  \text{Food} = 1 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{5} \text{ grams}
  \]

- **For 7 days:**
  \[
  \text{Food} = 7 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{21}{5} = 4.2 \text{ grams}
  \]

- **For 30 days:**
  \[
  \text{Food} = 30 \times \frac{3}{5} = 18 \text{ grams}
  \]

### Filled Table

| number of days | food in grams | Correct? |
|----------------|---------------|----------|
| 1              | \( \frac{3}{5} \) or 0.6  | N        |
| 7              | 4.2           | N        |
| 30             | 18            | N        |

Would you like any more details on these calculations, or do you have further questions?

Here are some related questions you can try:
1. If a shrimp is fed 4 times a day, how much food would it get in 1 week?
2. How much food would be needed for 5 shrimps over 10 days?
3. What is the total amount of food for 2 shrimps in 1 month?
4. If the feeding amount increased to \( \frac{1}{4} \) grams per feeding, what would the new daily amount be?
5. Calculate the food amount for 15 days at the same feeding rate.

**Tip:** Always check the unit consistency while solving problems involving repeated operations like feeding schedules.

At an aquarium, a shrimp is fed 1/5 gram of food each feeding and is fed 3 times each day. How much food does a shrimp get fed in one day? Also, complete the table to show how many grams of food the shrimp is fed over different numbers of days (1, 7, and 30 days).
