Question

On an average day, a horse might drink 50 L a sheep might drink 4 l and a chicken might drink 200 mL how much water would a farm need with 4 horses 8 sheep and 16 chickens need for a day

Answer 1

The farm would need 235.2 liters daily for 4 horses, 8 sheep and 16 chickens.

Explanation:

The daily consumption of water in the farm must be:

`x = (4\,horses)* \left(50\,(L)/(horse) \right) + (8\,sheep)* \left(4\,(L)/(sheep) \right) + (16\,chickens)* \left(0.2\,(L)/(chicken) \right)`

`x = 235.2\,L`

The farm would need 235.2 liters daily for 4 horses, 8 sheep and 16 chickens.
