Question

Some animals on farms eat hay to get energy. A cow can eat 24 pounds of hay each day. Write and evaluate an expression to find how many pounds a group of 24 cows can eat in two weeks.

Answer 1

8064 pounds of hay a group of 24 cows can eat in two weeks.

Explanation:

Given:

Some animals on farms eat hay to get energy. A cow can eat 24 pounds of hay each day.

Now, to find how many pounds a group of 24 cows can eat in two weeks.

In 1 one day a cow can eat hay = 24 pounds.

Number of cows = 24.

Number of days in 2 weeks = 7 ×2 = 14.

Now, the expression of getting the pounds of hay a group of 24 cows can eat in two weeks is:

24 ( 24 × 14 ).

So, to evaluate the expression:

`24(24* 14)`

=
`24* 336`

=
`8064\ pounds.`

Therefore, 8064 pounds of hay a group of 24 cows can eat in two weeks.
