Question

A consignment of fodder feeds 1260 cattle for 50 days how long will the fodder feed if 315 more cattle are added .how many cattle should go if has to last for 75 days

Answer 1

Answer:

The feeder will feed for 40 days.

Number of cattles that should leave= 420 cattles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fodder required for cattle per day be y.

Fodder required for 1260 cattles for 50 days= 1260×50× y, is the total fodder present.

Now if 315 cattles are added, total number of cattles=1260+315=1575cattles.

Let the required number of days be m.

m × 1575×y=1260×50×y.

m=40.

The feeder will feed for 40 days.

To feed for 75 days number of cattles present be n

n×y×75=1260×50×y

n=840.

The number of cattles that should go=1260-840

                                                             =420
