The zoo uses 56 pounds of bananas each week. 10 pounds of apples each day. After 6 days, how many more pounds of apples than bananas does the zoo use.
7 days/week means 56/7 = 8 lbs bananas each day
So, they use 10-8 = 2 lbs more apples than bananas each day.
So, what do you think?
A zoo needs 42 pounds of fruit to feed the monkeys each day. How many pounds of fruit will need to be bought if the zoo is buying food for a year, which is a leap year?
Well, it seems the zoo has gone bananas over their fruit consumption! Let's calculate their apple madness. If they use 10 pounds of apples per day, after 6 days, they would have used 10 * 6 = 60 pounds of apples. Now, let's peel back the layers and find out how many bananas they used during this time. Since they use 56 pounds of bananas per week, they would have used (56 / 7) * 6 = 48 pounds of bananas in 6 days. So, it appears that the zoo used 60 - 48 = 12 pounds more of apples than bananas. Those monkeys must be on a fruity rampage!
To find out how many pounds of apples the zoo uses in 6 days, we first need to calculate how many pounds of apples the zoo uses in one day.
The zoo uses 10 pounds of apples each day.
Therefore, in 6 days, the zoo uses 10 pounds/day × 6 days = 60 pounds of apples.
To find out how many more pounds of apples than bananas the zoo uses, we subtract the amount of bananas used from the amount of apples used.
60 pounds of apples - 56 pounds of bananas = 4 pounds of apples.
Therefore, the zoo uses 4 pounds more apples than bananas in 6 days.
To find out how many more pounds of apples than bananas the zoo uses after 6 days, we first need to calculate the total amount of bananas used in 6 days and the total amount of apples used in 6 days.
The zoo uses 56 pounds of bananas each week, so to find out how many pounds of bananas they use in 6 days, we need to divide 56 by 7 (the number of days in a week) and then multiply the result by 6 (the number of days we're interested in):
56 pounds / 7 days = 8 pounds of bananas per day
8 pounds/day * 6 days = 48 pounds of bananas in 6 days
The zoo uses 10 pounds of apples each day, so to find out how many pounds of apples they use in 6 days, we simply multiply:
10 pounds/day * 6 days = 60 pounds of apples in 6 days
Finally, to calculate the difference between the pounds of apples and bananas used:
60 pounds of apples - 48 pounds of bananas = 12 pounds
Therefore, the zoo uses 12 more pounds of apples than bananas after 6 days.
