Feeding Calves

A week old calf needs 3 quarts of milk mixed with 15 ounces of formula twice a day. Whoever has this chore for the day has to figure out how much to mix based on how many week old calves they have that day.

At Riverside Farm they have an average of 3 week old calves at a time.
3calves x 3 quarts of milk = 9oz. x 2 times per day= 18 oz. of milk
3 calves x 15 oz. of formula= 45 oz. x 2 times per day= 90 oz. of formula
