Ang determines the daily rate of pounds of chicken feed to chickens is 50 lb. 200 chickens . What scale factor should she use to find an equivalent rate for 40 chickens?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find an equivalent rate for 40 chickens, we need to use the scale factor.

The scale factor can be determined by dividing the number of chickens in the new scenario (40 chickens) by the number of chickens in the original scenario (200 chickens):

Scale factor = (Number of new chickens) / (Number of original chickens)
Scale factor = 40 / 200
Scale factor = 0.2

Therefore, the scale factor she should use to find an equivalent rate for 40 chickens is 0.2.
