Cattle are placed into a pasture containing a given amount of grass per acre, and the grass continues to grow at a constant rate. If 10 cattle can consume the grass on 8 acres in 15 weeks and if 15 cattle can consume the grass on 8 acres in 9 weeks, how many cattle would it take to consume the grass on 64 acres in 6 weeks?
We assume that the cattle all eat at the same constant rate.
