At a zoo, an Asian elephant eats about 3 tons and eats about 300 pounds of food a day. What percentage of its body weight does the elephant eat each day ?

Sagot :

well, assuming that the elephant weigh 3 tons, since 3 tons are 6000 lbs (1 ton = 2000 lbs), the percentage is calculated as follows:
[tex] \frac{300}{6000} = \frac{3}{60}= \frac{1}{20} [/tex]
which is 5%.

3 tons = 6000 lbs.  ,  300 lbs. of food ,  6000 divided by 300 = 3/60  =  1/20  =  5 percent
