an adult elephant eats about 0.25 tons of food per day. if the zoo orders 2.3 tons of food for the elephant, how many full days will the food last?

Respuesta :

0.25 tons ----> 1 day

2.3 tons ------> x days

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.25\times x=2.3\times1 \\ 0.25x=2.3 \\ \frac{0.25x}{0.25}=\frac{2.3}{0.25} \\ x=9.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

answer:

9 full days
