Question

1. The zoo fed the large 680 pounds of food last week. Seven large animals each ate the same amount while the elephant ate 183 pounds of the food. How much did each of the seven large animals eat?
2. Esther ate seven less than six times as many jelly beans as Jake. Esther ate 77 jelly beans. How many jelly beans did Jake eat?

Answer 1

Answer:

1: 71 pounds

2: 14 jellybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

1:

680 - 183 = 497

497 / 7 = 71

2:

Esther had (6 times)-7

77 + 7 = 84

84 / 6 = 14
