Question

Suwani received an order of birdseed that was 8,833 ounces, which she plans to use throughout one year. If Suwani distributes an equal amount of birdseed each day for 365 days for the wild birds, how much birdseed will she distribute each day?

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an ounce

Answer 1

24.2 ounces of birdseed each day.

Explanation:

To find out how much birdseed Suwani will distribute each day, we need to divide the total amount of birdseed, 8,833 ounces, by the number of days in a year, 365.

Dividing 8,833 ounces by 365 days gives us:

8,833 / 365 = 24.1753424658

Rounding to the nearest tenth of an ounce, Suwani will distribute approximately 24.2 ounces of birdseed each day.
