A farmer owns 12 goats on his farm. Each goat produces 0.5 litre of milk every day. How much milk will be produced in total after one week?
Answer
42
The correct answer is 42 — Hence the farmer gets 42 litre of milk in a week.
Step-by-step solution
- Each goat gives 0.5 litre of milk per day.
- Multiply by 12 goats to get daily total: litre per day.
- Since the question asks for one week, multiply by 7 days: litre.
- Hence the farmer gets 42 litre of milk in a week.
Common mistake: Missing multiplication by the number of goats or by 7 days
Concept tested: Milk production calculation
