Question

A zebra eats 28 pounds of grass in a day.

How many pounds of grass would 14 zebras eat in a day?

A.
2 pounds

B.
42 pounds

C.
392 pounds

D.
492 pounds

Answer 1

Let x = the number of pounds a single zebra eats in a day.
Then 14 * x = the number of pounds 14 zebras eat in a day.

x = 28

14 * 28 = 392

So, the answer is C. 392 pounds.

Answer 2

So, we need to multiply 28 x 14.

28 x 14 = 392

So, C) 392 pounds is your answer.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
