Read the short excerpt below and answer the questions after. You will be doing math so please show your work. During the hottest months of summer, ewes (females) and lambs come to waterholes almost daily. The male sheep (rams) sometimes do not come to water for nearly a week at a time. Rams may roam 20 miles (32 kilometers) away from the available water supply. Add 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) traveled per day, and rams may travel almost 75 miles (120 kilometers) before they drink again. Rams are believed to drink approximately 4 gallons (15.2 liters) of water when they do come to water, while a ewe drinks approximately 1 gallon (3.8 liters) and a lamb drinks 2 pints (940 milliliters).

Questions:
1. How many miles to the gallon or kilometers per liter (of water) does a ram get?
2. How many gallons (or liters) of water would a ram drink in a month?
3. How many gallons (or liters) of water would a ewe drink in a month?
4. How many gallons (or liters) of water would a lamb drink in a month?
5. How much water must be available in a waterhole for 10 rams, 16 ewes, and 7 lambs in order for them to survive the months of June, July, and August?
6. What rate of inflow would a waterfall have to have to sustain the population given above if water evaporated at a rate of 10 gallons (38 liters) per day?
