Explanation / Answer

I am solving the first problem Q5 with multiple-parts as per Chegg guidelines, post multiple question to get the remaining answers

Q5)

Weight of horse = 525 Kg

Amount of Hay fed = 2.2% of Horse Weight = 2.2/100 * 525 = 11.55 Kg

1 Kg = 2.20462 pounds

Amount of Hay in Pounds = 11.55 Kg * 2.20462 pounds/1Kg = 25.463391 Pounds

Amount of fescue hay fed to the horse = 1/4 * Total hay = 1/4 * 25.463391 = 6.36584775 Pounds

Amount of DM in Fescue Hay = 90% of weight = 90/100 * 6.36584775 = 5.729262975 pounds
