Question

Everyday a zookeeper feeds 4 adult gorillas a total of 160 lb of food. At this rate, how many pounds of food would the zookeeper need everyday to feed 6 adult gorillas?

Answer 1

Answer:

240 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Each gorilla eats a total of 40lbs (found that by dividing the number of gorillas by the pounds, 4/160, which is 40.)

So now that you know the number of pounds for each gorilla, you multiply the pounds by your gorillas ( 40 * 6, which is 240)

Hope this helps!
