A certain animal in the zoo has consumed 39 pounds of food in six days. If it continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total consumption be 91 pounds?

Question

anonymous · Answer

39/6 gives us that the animal is confusming 6.5 pounds of food a day. the animal already has consumed 39, so 91-39= 52

So if it consumes 6.5 pounds a day, it will take it around 8.7 days to consume 52 more pounds
