Question

A farmer has enough food for 144 ducks for 28 days. If he sells 32 ducks,
how long will the food last?​

Answer 1

Answer:

36 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

total number of ducks farmer has = 144

Number of ducks he sells = 32

remaining number of ducks = 144 - 32

                                               = 112

Since, the farmer has enough food for 144 ducks for 28 days

Hence, 1 duck can last that food in the number of days = 144 x 28

                                                                                            = 4032

     Hence, the 112 duck can last that food in the number of days=$\dfrac{4032}{112}$

                          = 36 days

So, after selling 32 ducks, that food will last for 36 days.

Answer 2

36 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

total number of ducks farmer has = 144

Number of ducks he sells = 32

remaining number of ducks = 144 - 32

= 112

Since, the farmer has enough food for 144 ducks for 28 days

Hence, 1 duck can last that food in the number of days = 144 x 28

= 4032

Hence, the 112 duck can last that food in the number of days=\dfrac{4032}{112}

112

4032

= 36 days

So, after selling 32 ducks, that food will last for 36 days.
