Question : 27

Total: 40

0.6 m^{2}

72 m^{2}

Solution:

Concept:

Number of birds = Total floor area ÷ Floor space per bird.

Explanation:

Recommended space per layer is

0.6 \mathrm{m}^2

Total area of the poultry house is

72 \mathrm{m}^2

Using the formula:

Number of layers =

\frac{\text{Total area}}{\text{Space per bird}}

So, Number of layers =

\frac{72}{0.6}

To divide easily, multiply the numerator and denominator by

10

\frac{72 \times 10}{0.6 \times 10} = \frac{720}{6}

Now compute:

\frac{720}{6} = 120

Therefore, the poultry house can hold

120

layers.

Answer:

120
