To find out how many days it will take for the baby elephant to weigh a total of 224 pounds, we need to subtract the initial weight of the elephant from the target weight and then divide that number by the weight gained per day.
Target weight - Initial weight = Weight gain
224 pounds - 150 pounds = 74 pounds
Weight gain / Weight gained per day = Number of days
74 pounds / 2 pounds/day = 37 days
Therefore, it will take the baby elephant 37 days to weigh a total of 224 pounds.
