Answer 1

The cow consumes 1,400 pounds of feed in a week when fed 200 pounds each day, which exceeds any of the answer choices provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how much feed a cow consumes in a week if it is fed 200 pounds of feed each day. To find the total amount of feed consumed in a week, you need to multiply the amount of feed per day by the number of days in a week. So, we calculate 200 pounds per day × 7 days = 1,400 pounds.

Therefore, the correct answer is not listed as a choice since 1,400 pounds is the amount consumed in a week by the cow if it is fed 200 pounds each day. This amount is greater than any of the options given.

To find out how much feed the cow consumes in a week, we need to multiply the amount of feed consumed each day by the number of days in a week. The cow consumes 200 pounds of feed each day, and there are 7 days in a week. So, the total feed consumed in a week is 200 pounds/day x 7 days/week = 1400 pounds/week. Therefore, the cow consumes 1400 pounds of feed in a week. which exceeds any of the answer choices provided.
