+36915 2.3 lbs /chicken - week
15.7 lbs /(2.3 lbs/chicken-week) = 6.82 chicken- weeks
theat is ONE chicken for 6.82 weeks or TWO chickens for 3.41 weeks.
59 chickens x 2.3 lbs/chicken-week x 4 weeks = 542.8 lbs needed (assuming 4 weeks in a month)
He already has 15.7 lbs 542.8-15.7 = 527.1 add'l needed
527.1/15.7 = 33. 57 more bags ~~ 34 more bags
59 + 15 = 74 chickens
74 x 2.3 x 4 = 680.8 lbs needed for 74 chickens 680.8 - 15.7 =665.1 lbs needed ~~42.36 bags~~43 bags
