Question

cows can yield 56 L of milk if each cow yields 8 L milk.

• A. 7
• B. 8
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 7

Total milk yielded by the cows = 56 L
Milk yielded by each cow = 8 L
We need to find the total number of cows.

Let us use repeated subtraction to find the total number of cows.

56 - 8 = 48
48 - 8 = 40
40 - 8 = 32
32 - 8 = 24
24 - 8 = 16
16 - 8 = 8
8 - 8 = 0

So, we are subtracting 8 seven times to find the total number of cows.

Thus, 7 cows can yield 56 L of milk.
