A weekly list of food order from a zoo kitchen shows that 56 pounds of plantains per week are ordered at the zoo. In the kitchen of the zoo an equal number of pounds of banana per day is used

I'm guessing

7 or 8 days
or
7 or 8 lbs

in any case, think of the factors of 56 ...

To determine the number of pounds of bananas used per day, we first need to know how many days are in a week. Let's assume there are 7 days in a week.

Since the weekly order of plantains is 56 pounds and the kitchen uses an equal number of pounds of bananas per day, we can divide the weekly order by the number of days in a week:

56 pounds / 7 days = 8 pounds

Therefore, the zoo kitchen uses 8 pounds of bananas per day.
