Question

Over 5 days, Kimberly sheared 300 sheep. How many would she be able to shear in 26 days?

What was her rate per day?

Answer 1

Kim shears 1560 sheep in 26 days.

Her rate per day is 60.

Explanation:

For 26 days:

`(5)/(300) =(26)/(x) \\\\5x=7800\\x=1560`

For per day:

`(5)/(300) =(1)/(x) \\\\5x=300\\x=60`
