D.

For every 24 lb of body mass, a gorilla
will eat 4 lb of food each day. If a gorilla
eats 40 lb of food in a day, how much
does it weigh?






HELP ME

Answer 1

Answer: 240 pounds

Work Shown:

(body mass)/(amount eaten) = (body mass)/(amount eaten)

(24 lb body mass)/(4 lb eaten) = (x lb body mass)/(40 lb eaten)

24/4 = x/40

6 = x/40

x/40 = 6

x = 40*6

x = 240

The gorilla has 240 pounds of body mass.
