Question

A farm produces an average of 17.1 liters of milk per day. About how many days will it take to produce 200 liters of milk? A. about 12 days

B. about 11 days
C. about 10 days
D. about 13 days

Answer 1

A is the correct option.

Explanation:

Let us suppose that it will take x days to produce 200 liters.

Now, it has been given that the farm produces an average of 17.1 liters of milk per day.

Hence, in x days the farm will produce 17.1x liters of milk. This should be equal to the given amount of milk which is 200 liters. Hence, we have

`17.1x=200`

Divide both sides by 17.1, we get

`x=(200)/(17.1)\\\\x=11.7`

Hence, it will take about 12 days to produce 200 liters of milk.

A is the correct option.

Answer 2

average produce milk per day 17.1 liters
to produce 200 liters should be:

17.1x = 200
x = 200/17.1
x = 11,69

it close to 12. the answer is a. about 12 days

hope this help
