Question

5. The zoo fed the large animals 680 pounds of food last week. Seven large animals each ate the same amount while the elephant ate 183 pounds of the food. How much did each of the seven large animals eat?​

Answer 1

Each of the 7 large animals ate 71 lbs of food.

Explanation:

There was a total of 680 lbs of food, and the elephant ate 183 lbs by itself. This means that there was 497 lbs of food left for the 7 large animals. To find out how much food each of the 7 animals ate, we just divide. 497 lbs of food divided by 7 large animals. This will give us a final result of 71 lbs of food per large animal.
