Question

A calf raiser mixes a batch of milk replacer for 15 calves. Each calf gets two

quarts of milk replacer. If the calf raiser uses 960 oz. of replacer and needs to
add 34 as much water as milk replacer, how many ounces of water does she need?

Answer 1

The calf raiser uses 960 oz of milk replacer for 15 calves, so each calf gets 960 oz / 15 = 64 oz of milk replacer.

To convert this to quarts, we need to divide by 32 (since there are 32 oz in a quart)

64 oz / 32 oz/quart = 2 quarts

Each calf gets 2 quarts of milk replacer and the calf raiser needs to add 34 as much water as milk replacer

So the total amount of water she needs is 2*34 = 68 quarts

To convert the quarts of water to ounces we need to multiply by 32 (since there are 32 oz in a quart)

68 quarts * 32 oz/quart = 2176 oz of water.

So the calf raiser needs 2176 ounces of water to mix with the milk replacer for 15 calves.
