If a horse eats 2.2 pounds of feed per 100 pound body weight how much should 900 eat?

1. Figure out the feed per pound of body weight:

* Divide the feed amount by the body weight: 2.2 pounds of feed / 100 pounds of body weight = 0.022 pounds of feed per pound of body weight.

2. Calculate the total feed for the 900-pound horse:

* Multiply the feed per pound by the horse's weight: 0.022 pounds of feed/pound of body weight * 900 pounds of body weight = 19.8 pounds of feed.

Therefore, a 900-pound horse should eat approximately 19.8 pounds of feed.
