A farm has decided to add chickens to its livestock. Per regulations, the farm cannot have more than 100 chickens per acre. If the area of the farm is 32.4 acres, how many chickens can they have on the farm?

1 answer

To determine how many chickens the farm can have, we start by multiplying the maximum number of chickens per acre by the total area of the farm.

  1. The maximum number of chickens per acre is 100.
  2. The area of the farm is 32.4 acres.

Now, we calculate the total number of chickens:

\[ \text{Total chickens} = \text{Maximum chickens per acre} \times \text{Area of the farm} \]

\[ \text{Total chickens} = 100 \times 32.4 \]

\[ \text{Total chickens} = 3240 \]

Thus, the farm can have a maximum of 3240 chickens.
