Question

an adult elephant eats about 0.25 tons of food per day. if the zoo orders 2.3 tons of food for the elephant, how many full days will the food last?

Answer 1

0.25 tons ----> 1 day

2.3 tons ------> x days

`\begin{gathered} 0.25* x=2.3*1 \\ 0.25x=2.3 \\ (0.25x)/(0.25)=(2.3)/(0.25) \\ x=9.2 \end{gathered}`

answer:

9 full days
