Question

A local animal feed company makes its feed buy a ton which is 2000 pounds. They want to include a medication in the field. Each county is 300 mg of his medication a day and each cow consumes 15 pounds of the feet per day. If there are 1000 mg in a gram how many grams of the medication should the feed company ad for each ton of food they produce

Answer 1

Answer: There is 400 grams of medication that should the feed company ad for each ton of food they produce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of medication each country need a day = 300 mg

Number of pounds per day consumes by each cow = 15 pounds

So, it becomes

$\dfrac{300}{15}=20\ mg/pounds$

As we know that

1 g = 1000 mg

So, 20 mg = $\dfrac{20}{1000}=0.02\ g/pounds$

Total number of pounds = 2000 pounds

So, number of grams of medication that should the feed company ad for each ton of food they produce is given by

$2000\times 0.02=400\ grams/ton$

Hence, there is 400 grams of medication that should the feed company ad for each ton of food they produce.
