An elephant eats about 500 pounds of grass and leaves every day. There are 2 Africa elephants and 3 Asian elephants living in the City Zoo. How many pounds of grass and leaves do the zookeeper need to oreder each week to feed all the elephants?

What is 500lbs/elephantDay*2elephants*7 days/week

5 elephants times 500 pounds of food time 7 equals number of pounds for one week

To calculate the total pounds of grass and leaves needed to feed all the elephants each week, we need to find the combined daily intake of grass and leaves for all the elephants and then multiply it by 7 (days in a week) to get the weekly amount.

First, let's find the daily intake of grass and leaves for all the elephants:
- The 2 African elephants eat a combined total of 500 pounds x 2 = 1000 pounds of grass and leaves per day.
- The 3 Asian elephants eat a combined total of 500 pounds x 3 = 1500 pounds of grass and leaves per day.

To find the total daily intake, we add the two amounts together:
1000 pounds + 1500 pounds = 2500 pounds of grass and leaves per day.

Finally, we multiply the daily intake by 7 to find the weekly amount:
2500 pounds x 7 days = 17,500 pounds of grass and leaves needed each week to feed all the elephants in the City Zoo.

Therefore, the zookeeper needs to order 17,500 pounds of grass and leaves each week to feed all the elephants.
