To find out how many kilograms of corn the chickens eat each day, we need to divide the total amount of corn consumed in a week by the number of days in a week.
Let's start by finding the total amount of corn consumed in a week. The farmer feeds 4 bags of corn each week, and each bag contains 3/5 kg of corn. We can multiply the number of bags by the amount of corn in each bag to get the total:
4 bags * 3/5 kg per bag = (4*3)/(5) kg = 12/5 kg
So, the chickens eat 12/5 kg of corn in a week.
Now, let's find out the amount of corn they eat each day. Since there are 7 days in a week, we can divide the total amount of corn consumed in a week by 7:
(12/5 kg) / 7 days = (12/5) * (1/7) kg/day
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately:
(12 * 1) / (5 * 7) kg/day = 12/35 kg/day
Therefore, the chickens eat 12/35 kg of corn each day.
