The sixth graders have carefully measured the amount of food the chickens eat. We opened a new bag of chicken food on Sunday 3/29/2009. We ran out of food from that bag on Tuesday 4/7/2009.Please answer the following questions:
1. How many days did the chicken food last?
2. If we have 18 more bags, how many days will the food last if the current rate of consumption stays the same?
3. Do you think the current rate of consumption will stay the same or will it change? Explain your answer. How will the chicken's environment change in the next few months? Will the change cause more or less food consumption? Explain.
You can discuss this with me or your classmates before you answer. You will probably need some scratch paper to do the calculations necessary to answer these questions.
Remember, you are high school students. Give me good, high school answers (that means THINK before you write!!!).

The chickens food lasted 9 days.If the consumption rate stays the same it will last 162 days.The consumption rate should stay the same i don't see why it would change.The environment would be the temperature change and i don't think a change in temperature would affect their consumption rate.
How do the chickens keep themselves warm in the winter? Are birds warm blooded? If they don't have to keep themselves as warm, could that have an effect on how much food they consume?
That food lasted ten days. So if we have eight-teen more bags of chicken feed it will last for 180 more days. I think the chickins now that it is getting warmer.
1. The chicken food lasted 9 days.
2. The chicken food would last at least 162 days? idk
3. I think the rate thing will stay the same because of the weather changing and because of the sun being up longer.
The chicken food lasted I don't know how long??? If you had 18 more bags i don't know how long it wound last. hmmmmmm the food will change. think befor i write LOL
