Donald can feed 61 animals approximately
Solution:
Given that Donald has [tex]45\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds of grain to feed his farm animals
Each animal eats [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a pound of feed
To find: number of animals he can feed
From given information,
Total pounds of grains = [tex]45\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 45 +1}{2} = \frac{91}{2} \text{ pounds }[/tex]
One animal feeds = [tex]\frac{3}{4} \text{ pounds }[/tex]
number of animals he can feed = Total pounds of grains divided by one animal feeds
[tex]\rightarrow \frac{\frac{91}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{91}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{91 \times 2}{3}=\frac{182}{3}=60.66[/tex]
Thus he can feed 61 animals approximately
