Question

Harold stores 10,656 pounds of grain for his 24 cattle. Each cow eats about 12 pounds of grain each day. How many days would the food supply last?

Answer 1

The food supply will last for 37 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many days the food supply will last, we need to divide the total amount of grain by the amount of grain each cow eats per day. First, we calculate the total amount of grain eaten by all the cows in one day by multiplying the amount of grain eaten by one cow by the number of cows: 12 pounds/cow * 24 cows = 288 pounds/day. Then, we divide the total amount of grain by the amount eaten per day: 10,656 pounds / 288 pounds/day = 37 days. Therefore, the food supply will last for 37 days.

Answer 2

each cow eats 12 pounds then 24 will eat 288 pounds so to know how many days it will last we will divide 10656 by 288 which is 37

so it will last for 37 days.
