It is said that a particular type of crop requires a depth of 6 cm of water every 24 days and the crop period is 168 days. Find the delta of the crop? Correct Answer 42 cm

Assume that crop period is equal to base period. So, given base period is 168 days, and it requires watering for every 24 days. Therefore number of waterings for entire cultivation = (168/24) = 7 Each watering needs 6 cm depth of water. So, therefore total depth of water required in 168 days = 7 x 6 = 42 cm.
