on a certain farm, on average, 64 hens lay 768 eggs in 64 days. also on average, 46 hens on same farm eat 46 kilograms of wheat in 46 days. On this farm, on average, the consumption of how much wheat (in kg) corresponds to 2 dozen eggs?
Sheila practiced 1 ½ hours Monday, 3 ¾ hours Tuesday, and 2 ¼ hours Wednesday.
What is the total number of hours that she practiced?
brittany, you gave another problem on my question that is not related to my question
please, in need of help with this question
Compare egg production per chicken per da. Production is:
768/(64*64) = 0.1875 egg/(chicken*day)
Wheat consumption per chicken per day is
46/(46*46) = 1/46 kg/(chicken*day)
Divide the two numbers and you get eggs per kg of feed. That number is 8.625 eggs/kg. For 12 eggs, you need 12/8.625 = 1.39 kg of feed
To find out the consumption of wheat corresponding to 2 dozen eggs on the farm, we need to calculate the average number of eggs laid per day and the average consumption of wheat per day.
First, let's calculate the average number of eggs laid per day:
On average, 64 hens lay 768 eggs in 64 days. This means that each hen lays 768 eggs / 64 days = 12 eggs per day. Therefore, the 64 hens lay 12 eggs/hen/day × 64 hens = 768 eggs per day.
Next, let's calculate the average consumption of wheat per day:
On average, 46 hens eat 46 kilograms of wheat in 46 days. This means that each hen eats 46 kilograms / 46 days = 1 kilogram of wheat per day. Therefore, the 46 hens eat 1 kilogram/hen/day × 46 hens = 46 kilograms of wheat per day.
Now, we can find the consumption of wheat corresponding to 2 dozen eggs.
Two dozen eggs equal 2 × 12 = 24 eggs.
Since the hens lay 768 eggs per day, the average consumption of wheat corresponding to 24 eggs would be (24 eggs / 768 eggs) × 46 kilograms = 1.4375 kilograms of wheat.
Therefore, the consumption of wheat corresponding to 2 dozen eggs on this farm is approximately 1.44 kilograms.
