The cost of feeding 24 goat for 12days is naria 360.find the number of days that 20 goat will be feed with naria 800

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to solve the problem.

Let x be the number of days that 20 goats will be fed with Naira 800.
According to the proportion, we have:

(24 goats * 12 days) / (20 goats * x days) = Naira 360 / Naira 800

Simplifying both sides of the equation:
(24 * 12) / (20 * x) = 9 / 20

Cross-multiplying:
(24 * 12) * 20 = 9 * (20 * x)

2880 * 20 = 9 * 20 * x

57600 = 180x

Dividing both sides by 180:
x = 57600 / 180
x = 320

Therefore, 20 goats will be fed for 320 days with Naira 800.
