Question

The gestation period of cattle (283 days) is ___ percent longer than the gestation period of pigs.

(A) 100%
(B) 50%
(C) 75%
(D) 25%

Answer 1

The gestation period of cattle (283 days) is indeterminate compared to the gestation period of pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gestation period of cattle is 283 days, while the gestation period of pigs is unknown. To find the percentage difference, we can compare the difference in the lengths of the gestation periods and express it as a percentage of the gestation period of pigs.

Let's assume the gestation period of pigs is x days. The percentage difference can be calculated as:

Percentage Difference = (283 - x) / x * 100

Since we don't have the exact gestation period for pigs, we cannot determine the percentage difference. Therefore, the answer is indeterminate.
