Answer 2

In this question, we're trying to find how many bales of hay the donkey eats in 21 days.

We know that the donkey eats 3/9 of a hay bale a week.

Lets turn this into a whole fraction to make it easier to find the answer:

The donkey would eat 9/9, or 1 hay bale, in 3 weeks.

We know that 3 weeks is equivalent to 21 days (1 week = 7 days), so our answer would be one hay bale.

One hay bale.
