To find out how much food Jillian needs to bring for the week, we need to first find out the fraction of food that Kara eats compared to Jillian. Given that Kara eats 4/5 of the food that Jillian does, we can express this fraction mathematically as:

Kara's food/Jillian's food = 4/5

Next, we need to solve for Jillian's food. Since Kara's food is given as 14 lbs (as mentioned in the question), we have:

14 lbs/Jillian's food = 4/5

To solve for Jillian's food, we can cross-multiply and find:

Jillian's food = (14 lbs * 5) / 4 = 70/4 = 17.5 lbs

Therefore, Jillian needs to bring 17.5 lbs of food for the week.
