Question

The elephants eat 230 pounds of food per day. How many pounds of food are needed to feed the elephants for an entire week?

Answer 1

You need 1610 pounds of food to feed all the elephants for a week.

Explanation:

To solve the question, you need to multiply the amount of food times the week.

Take note that:

• Everyday the elephants eat 230 pounds of food.
• There are 7 days in a week.

To solve the problem, you need to multiply 230 pounds of food times 7 days. (`230xx7`)

Using multiplication, you should end up with 1610 pounds of food for the whole week.
