A veterinary assistant is working at a shelter that houses 53 animals. The shelter uses 1,484 pounds of food each month. How much on average does each animal consume per day in a 28-day month

Respuesta :

Answer:

Each = 1 lb per animal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Animals = 53[/tex]

[tex]Food = 1484lb[/tex]

Required

Daily consumption of each animal in a 28-day month

First, we calculate the daily consumption of all animals

[tex]All = \frac{Food}{28}[/tex]

[tex]All = \frac{1484lb}{28}[/tex]

[tex]All = 53 lb[/tex]

The consumption of each animal is then calculated as:

[tex]Each = \frac{All}{Animals}[/tex]

[tex]Each = \frac{53lb}{53}[/tex]

Each = 1 lb per animal
