The weight of a bull clad is 388 kilograms. If it’s weight increases at a rate of 1 2/5 kilograms per day how long it will take the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms

Respuesta :

Answer:

It will take  80 days  for the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The weight of a bull calf is 388 kilograms.

Now, to find the weight of bull calf of how long it will take to reach a weight of 500 kilograms, if it’s weight increases at a rate of 1 2/5 kilograms per day.

Required weight which to be increased = 500 - 388 = 112 kilograms.

Rate of weight increase = [tex]1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

                                        = [tex]1.4\ kilograms.[/tex]

Thus, the time required = [tex]\frac{required\ weight}{rate\ of\ weight}[/tex]

                                        = [tex]\frac{112}{1.4}[/tex]

                                        = [tex]80.[/tex]

The time required   =    80 days.

Therefore, it will take 80 days for the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms.
