A shepherd is herding his sheep on a piece of grassland . If he herds
50 sheep , all grass will be eaten after 38 weeks ; if he herds 80
sheep , all grass will be eaten after 8 weeks . Given that the amount
of grass eaten by every sheep is the same every day and that the
grass grows with a constant rate . If he hopes that the grass will not
be eaten up forever , what is the maximum number of sheep he can
herd ?
Please set up simultaneous linear equation in two unknowns to solve
the problem .
