a bag of corn can feed 100 chickens for 12 days.how long will the same bag feed 80 chickens.
80x = 100*12
80x=100*12=80x=1200=
divide both síde by 80
=80x/80=120080
=15

To find out how long the same bag of corn will feed 80 chickens, we need to set up a proportional relationship between the number of chickens and the number of days.
Let's assume that the bag of corn can feed x chickens for y days. We know that the original bag of corn can feed 100 chickens for 12 days.
We can set up the following proportion:
100 chickens / 12 days = 80 chickens / x days
To solve this proportion, we can use cross-multiplication:
100 * x = 80 * 12
Now we can solve for x:
100x = 960
Dividing both sides of the equation by 100:
x = 9.6
Therefore, the same bag of corn will feed 80 chickens for approximately 9.6 days.
