Question

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

Answer 1

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 = $1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}$

                                        = $1.4\ kilograms.$

Thus, the time required = $\frac{required\ weight}{rate\ of\ weight}$

                                        = $\frac{112}{1.4}$

                                        = $80.$

The time required   =    80 days.

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