Answer:

Explanation:

According to the sources I found, cows consume an average of 3 to 30 gallons of water per day. One gallon is equivalent to 3.78541 liters. Therefore, a cow drinks between 11.35623 liters and 113.5623 liters per day.

If we assume that each cow drinks 30 gallons (113.5623 liters) per day, then a full trough would have enough water for 2.37 cows per day (226.8 liters / 113.5623 liters per cow). Therefore, Zipho’s statement is incorrect if we assume that each cow drinks 56 liters per day.
