a baby elephat weighs 150 pounds when born it gain 2 pounds per day during the first year how many days will it take the elephant to gain a total of 224 pounds

Answer 1

To find the number of days it will take for the elephant to gain a total of 224 pounds, we can set up the following equation:

224 = 150 + 2d

where d represents the number of days.

Simplifying the equation, we get:

74 = 2d

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we find:

d = 37

Therefore, it will take the elephant 37 days to gain a total of 224 pounds.
