If there are 80 head of cattle in the field and the ratio of dairy cattle to beef cattle is 1 to 3 How many dairy cattle and beef cattle are there?

So with 80 head of cattle, we have a 1:3 ratio of dairy to beef, respectively. That translates to: for every head of dairy cattle there are three beef cattle. Since, mathematically, 80 total head of cattle with a 1:3 ratio don't really work out to nice, round numbers, we will have to work with fractions and such. 1:3 ratio can be converted to a fraction: 1/3. 1/3=0.3333333... So, with 80 head of cattle, we find the number of dairy cattle: 80 x (1/3) = 26.66666666.... Which we could round off to 26 dairy cattle. Since we have 80 total head, we subtract to find how many beef cattle are in the herd: 80 - 26 = 54. So the answer is thus: If there are 80 head of cattle, and the ratio of dairy to beef cattle is 1:3, then there are 26 dairy cattle and 54 beef cattle.

How many beef burgers can be made from 1 hectare of beef cattle?

The number of beef burgers that can be produced from 1 hectare of beef cattle varies based on several factors, including cattle breed, feeding practices, and management. On average, one hectare can support approximately 1.5 to 2 beef cattle, depending on grazing conditions. Each cow can yield about 200-300 kg of beef, which translates to roughly 1,000 to 1,500 beef burgers (assuming each burger contains around 150 grams of beef). Thus, from 1 hectare, one could expect to produce approximately 1,000 to 1,500 beef burgers.
