I need this quick!!!!

Respuesta :

I think that the answer would be 5x20=100 and 5x4=20 so 100 + 20 = 120

Mr. Patel used 5 bags of seeds.

Given that:

  • Mr. Patel fed birds 24 times.
  • He used 6 cups of seed each time.
  • Each bag of seeds holds 32 cups.

To find:

Number of bags of seeds Mr. Patel used in this whole process.

Calculations:

Each time of feeding needs 6 cups

24 times of feeding needs [tex]24 \times 6 = 144 \: \rm cups[/tex]

[tex]\text{1 bag of seeds = 32 cups}\\\\144 \: \rm cups = \dfrac{1 \times 144}{32} \: \rm bags = 4.5 \: \rm bags\\\\[/tex]

But since bags will come in integers, thus even when 4 + half of fifth bag was used, the fifth bag will still be counted as used.

Thus, in total, Mr. Patel used 5 bags of seeds.
