Question

A local animal feed company makes its feed by the ton, which is 2000 pounds. They want to include a medication in the feed. Each cow needs 300 milligrams of this medication a day and each cow consumes 15 pounds of the feed per day. If there are 1000 milligrams in a gram, how many grams of the medication should the feed company add for each ton of feed they produce?

Answer 1

100 milligrams for every 5 pounds

2000/5=400 doses  

400*100=40,000 milligrams= 40 grams
