Question

A dairy cow can produce up to 2000 gallons of milk every 365 days. At this rate, a cow can produce x gallons of milk in 500 days. Which proportion should be used to find x?

Question 2 options:

2000 = x
365 500


365 = x
500 2000


500 = 2000
365 x


x = 500
365 2000

Answer 1

First I cant understand the choices, because on how you type so I will jus provide the answer for you. First the amount of milk produce is proportional to the number of days so

2000 = k(365)

K = 2000 / 365

So to solve for x

X = ( 2000/365) 500

X = 2740
