Question

A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days. How long

would the food last if there were 10 more animals in his cattle?

Answer 1

The food will last for 6 days for 20 animals.

If there were 10 more animals in the cattle, the total number of animals would be 20+10 = 30.

The food will last for the same 6 days but now it would be divided among 30 animals.

Therefore, the food would last for 6 days / 30 animals = 0.2 days per animal.

So, the food will last for 0.2 days if there were 10 more animals in the farmer's cattle.

Answer 2

4 daysb

Explanation:

Here the number of animals and the number of days are in inverse proportion. Hence the food will last 4 days.
