If a snake charmer uses 12 snakes during a season, and each snake needs 2 kg of food per day, how much food is required for the entire season of 30 days?
Answer
720 kg
The correct answer is 720 kg — State the total food required.
Step-by-step solution
- Multiply the number of snakes by the food required per snake per day: 12 × 2 kg = 24 kg per day.
- Multiply this daily requirement by the number of days in the season: 24 kg × 30 = 720 kg.
- State the total food required.
Common mistake: Forgetting to multiply by number of snakes or days
Concept tested: Food requirement calculation
