calculating rations
directions: answer the following questions using the feed labels and information listed below.
1. how many pounds of \grow power\ should you feed a colt that weighs 400 lbs?
2. how many pounds of \grow power\ should you feed a stallion during breeding season that weighs 1100 pounds?
3. how many pounds of \grow power\ should you feed a race horse that weighs 950 pounds?
4. you are stock contractor feeding your bulls a grain ration designed for performance bulls. you should feed 1% of the bull’s body weight. if the bull weighs 1900 lbs. how many pounds of grain mix should you feed each bull?
5. you are feeding your breeding does a commercial rabbit pellet. 1 doe should consume 5 ounces of pellets per day. how many days will a 50 pound bag last?
grow-power
ifa grow-power is a pellet feed that is designed to be easily digested for colts, pregnant and lactating mares, breeding stallions and athletic horses.
ifa grow-power contains special yeast cultures to improve digestion.
colts: feed as a supplement for nursing foals at the rate of 1.5 lbs/100lbs. of body weight/day. may be fed to weaned colts at the same rates to supplement good quality hay.
mares and stallions: feed to lactating mares and stallions during the breeding season at the rate of 0.75lbs./100 lbs. of body weight/day or as needed to maintain body condition.
athletic and race horses: feed at the rate of 1.5 lbs. /100 lbs. of body weight per day for conditioning.

Accepted Answer

### Question 1
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify the feeding rate for colts
The rate for colts is $1.5$ lbs/100 lbs of body weight per day.
## Step2: Calculate the amount of feed
First, find how many 100 - lb units are in 400 lbs: $\frac{400}{100}=4$. Then multiply by the rate: $4\times1.5 = 6$.
# Answer: 6 pounds

### Question 2
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify the feeding rate for stallions
The rate for stallions during breeding season is $0.75$ lbs/100 lbs of body weight per day.
## Step2: Calculate the amount of feed
Find the number of 100 - lb units in 1100 lbs: $\frac{1100}{100}=11$. Then multiply by the rate: $11\times0.75 = 8.25$.
# Answer: 8.25 pounds

### Question 3
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify the feeding rate for race horses
The rate for race horses is $1.5$ lbs/100 lbs of body weight per day.
## Step2: Calculate the amount of feed
Find the number of 100 - lb units in 950 lbs: $\frac{950}{100}=9.5$. Then multiply by the rate: $9.5\times1.5=14.25$.
# Answer: 14.25 pounds

### Question 4
# Explanation:
## Step1: Understand the feeding rate
The feeding rate is $1\%$ of the bull's body weight.
## Step2: Calculate the amount of feed
Convert $1\%$ to a decimal ($0.01$) and multiply by the bull's weight: $1900\times0.01 = 19$.
# Answer: 19 pounds

### Question 5
# Explanation:
## Step1: Convert ounces to pounds
Since 1 pound = 16 ounces, 5 ounces=$\frac{5}{16}$ pounds per day (but wait, the problem says 5 ounces? Wait, no, re - read: "1 doe should consume 5 ounces of pellets per day"? Wait, no, maybe it's a typo? Wait, the bag is 50 pounds. Wait, maybe it's 5 pounds? Wait, no, the original problem: "1 doe should consume 5 ounces of pellets per day. How many days will a 50 pound bag last?" Wait, first, convert 50 pounds to ounces: 50 pounds = $50\times16 = 800$ ounces. Then, the number of days is total ounces divided by ounces per day: $\frac{800}{5}=160$. Wait, but maybe the problem was 5 pounds? No, the user's problem says 5 ounces. Wait, let's check again.

Wait, maybe it's a mistake, but assuming it's 5 ounces:

## Step1: Convert 50 pounds to ounces
1 pound = 16 ounces, so 50 pounds = $50\times16=800$ ounces.
## Step2: Calculate the number of days
Divide total ounces by ounces per day: $\frac{800}{5}=160$ days.

If it was 5 pounds per day: 50 pounds / 5 pounds per day = 10 days. But the problem says 5 ounces. So:

## Step1: Convert 50 pounds to ounces
$50\times16 = 800$ ounces.
## Step2: Divide by daily consumption
$\frac{800}{5}=160$ days.

# Answer: 160 days (assuming 5 ounces per day) or if it's 5 pounds per day, 10 days. But based on the problem statement (5 ounces), 160 days.
