Answer 2

Answer:

A is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose that it will take x days to produce 200 liters.

Now, it has been given that the farm produces an average of 17.1 liters of milk per day.

Hence, in x days the farm will produce 17.1x liters of milk. This should be equal to the given amount of milk which is 200 liters. Hence, we have

$17.1x=200$

Divide both sides by 17.1, we get

$x=\frac{200}{17.1}\\\\x=11.7$

Hence, it will take about 12 days to produce 200 liters of milk.

A is the correct option.
