7 goat eat 7 grounds..means 1 goat eat 1 ground...ok
then 7 grounds in 7 days... that means each ground eaten by them in seven days...so
1 goat took 7 days to eat a ground...So whether it is 5 ground or 10.. 1 goat eat 1 ground in 1 day..so 5 goats eat 5 grounds in '7' days....

7 days
How? 7 goats/7 days=1 goat/day
1 goat/day /7 fields=1/7 field per day per goat
5 goats/5 fields=1 goat per field
1 goat per field/(1/7) field per goat per day=7 days
☺☺☺☺

How many days will it now take for the Magic Grass to cover his garden?

At a garden shop they're selling Magic Grass, a patch of sod that doubles in size every day. A man goes to buy some and figures that his garden is big enough that if he buys one patch, it will cover his garden in fourteen days, because each day it doubles in size. So he decides to speed up the process, and buys two patches of sod.
