2.A filled provides grazing for sheep for 8 days. How many days grazing would it provide for 24 sheep

Given:

Consider the complete question is "A field provides grazing for 18 sheep for 8 days. How many days grazing would it provide for 24 sheep?".

To find:

The number of days the field provides grazing for 24 sheep.

Solution:

We have,

If number of sheep = 18, then, number of days = 8.

If number of sheep = 24, then, number of days = x.

Now, the products of number of sheep and number of days are equal because they represent the total work done.

Therefore, the field provides grazing for 24 sheep for 6 days.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
