Q. Amara needs 90 kilograms of meat to feed her 4 pet dragons each day. Each pet dragon eats the same amount of meat.How many kilograms of meat does Amara need to feed 2 pet dragons each day?kilograms
Total amount of meat needed: Amara needs 90 kilograms of meat to feed her 4 pet dragons each day. To find out how much meat one dragon eats, we divide the total amount of meat by the number of dragons.Calculation: 4 dragons90 kg=22.5 kg per dragon per day.
Amount of meat per dragon per day: Now that we know each dragon eats 22.5 kilograms of meat per day, we can calculate the amount needed for 2 dragons by multiplying the amount one dragon eats by 2.Calculation: $\(22\).\(5\) \, \text{kg/dragon/day} \times \(2\) \, \text{dragons} = \(45\) \, \text{kg per day for \(2\) dragons}.
