Answer:

Each of the 7 large animals ate 71 lbs of food.

Step-by-step explanation:

There was a total of 680 lbs of food, and the elephant ate 183 lbs by itself. This means that there was 497 lbs of food left for the 7 large animals. To find out how much food each of the 7 animals ate, we just divide. 497 lbs of food divided by 7 large animals. This will give us a final result of 71 lbs of food per large animal.
