Question 1036560: A consignment of fodder can feed 1000 sheep for 20 days. Assuming that all the sheep consume the fodder at the same rate, how many consignments of fodder are needed to feed 550 sheep for 400 days. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you can feed 1000 sheep for 20 days, then each sheep eats 1/1000*1/20,or 1/20000th of a consignment per day. 550 sheep, eating for 400 days will go through 550*400/20000, or 11 consignments total!!!!!!!!!
