To find the equivalent rate for 40 chickens, Ang needs to determine the scale factor that converts 200 chickens to 40 chickens.
The scale factor can be calculated by dividing the new number of chickens (40) by the original number of chickens (200).
Scale factor = new number of chickens / original number of chickens
Scale factor = 40 / 200
Scale factor = 0.2
Therefore, the scale factor is 0.2.
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)
