Question

At a zoo, 3 pandas eat a total of 181 1/2 pounds of bamboo shoots each day. The male panda eats 3 times as much as the baby. The female eats twice as much as the baby. How many pounds of bamboo shoots does the female panda eat?

Answer 1

3b+2b+b=181.5
6b=181.5
6b/6=181.5/6
b=30.25

The baby panda eats 30.5 pounds and since the female panda eats two times that you multiply it by two.

30.25 x 2 = 60.5
