A baby elephant weighs 150 pounds when born it gains 2 pounds per day during the first year how many days will it take the elephant to weigh a total of 224 pounds
To find the number of days it will take the elephant to weigh a total of 224 pounds, we need to find the number of days it would take the elephant to gain 74 pounds (224 pounds - 150 pounds).
Since the elephant gains 2 pounds per day, we can divide the total weight gained (74 pounds) by the weight gained per day (2 pounds) to find the number of days.
74 pounds / 2 pounds = 37 days
Therefore, it will take the baby elephant 37 days to weigh a total of 224 pounds.
