Another Solution to DDS" Problem.
Suppose that an OK, in one week, will
eat 100 lbs. of grass (or any other num-
ber,) then IL oxen in 6 weeks viii eat
1900, which is the amount originally upon
4 acres, together with what grew in 6
weeks. Then ! of 1900 180O-pro-
ceeds of l acre for 6 weeks.
Also, 35 oxen in 2 weeks will eat 1000
lbs, and one-ffth of 1000 lbs.=140O-
proceeds of acre for 9 weeks, and
6 weekss-2 weeks = 4 weeks. There
fore Observation-Disclosures grew on
/ acre in 4 weesk, (and l00-what grew
on one acre in one weekly Then 8 acres
in y weeks would produce $500 lbs.
which will keep u oxen 8 weeks.
Again, if loo lbs. grew in ] week, 600
grew iii 6 weeks, and lS00-600=l20O
what was originally on one acre, and II
times l200=l4400=whole amount orr
ginally OF the ground, and if 100 lbs.
would keep l OK l week l4400 lbs. would
keep Is X II weeks. Hence A could
put in Is oxen and B 10.
The second requirement is easily found.
