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

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

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(2)/(5)=(7)/(5)`

=
`1.4\ kilograms.`

Thus, the time required =
`(required\ weight)/(rate\ of\ weight)`

=
`(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.
