You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if 12 horses can feed in a field for 12 months. How many can feed in 1 month.
----
# of horses and # of months are indirectly related.
---
h = k/m
---
Solve for "k" using "if 12 horses can feed in a field for 12 months"
12 = k/12
k = 144
----
Equation:
h = 144/m
----
How many can feed in 1 month?
h = 144/1
h = 144 (# of horses that can feed for one month = 144)

==================
Sorry Stan, the correct answer is 12... you have to give the grass time to grow!! Allow 2 acres per horse for constant grazing; NLT 1 acre per horse in a rotational grazing program with 3 fields.
