Question

A farm produce an average of 17.1 liters of milk per day . About how many days will it take to produces 200 liters of milk

Answer 1

About 12 days

Explanation:

There's two ways to solve this, both resulting the same answer.

1st way:

17.1d = 200. Divide 17.1. You should get 11.69590643; round to the nearest whole number.

2nd way: Just like the 1st way, but set up as a proportion.

17.1 L/1 day = 200 L/x days. Cross multiply, resulting your problem to show 200/17.1. The answer should be the same shown in the first result.

Answer 2

amounttotal=amount per day times number of days
200=17.1 times d
divide both sides by 17.1
11.695=d
about 12 days
