1. **State the problem:** Joanne shears a certain number of sheep per day, and we want to find out how many sheep she can shear in 29 days if she continues at the same rate. 2. **Identify the formula:** The total number of sheep sheared is given by the formula: $$\text{Total sheep} = \text{rate per day} \times \text{number of days}$$ 3. **Explanation:** To solve this, we need to know Joanne's daily shearing rate. Since the problem does not specify it, let's assume Joanne shears $r$ sheep per day. 4. **Calculate the total:** Using the formula, the total sheep sheared in 29 days is: $$\text{Total sheep} = r \times 29$$ 5. **Interpretation:** If you know the value of $r$, multiply it by 29 to get the total number of sheep sheared in 29 days. **Final answer:** Joanne can shear $$29r$$ sheep in 29 days, where $r$ is the number of sheep sheared per day.
