Answer
Find out the how much food is used to feed one bear for a week .
To prove
As given
Twenty polar bears live at the zoo .
In four weeks, they eat 9,732 pounds of food altogether .
Assuming each bear is fed the same amount of food, .
Than
First find out the bears eats food in one week.
[tex]Bears\ eats\ food\ in\ one\ week = \frac{Total\ food\ eats\ in\ four\ weeks}{Number\ of\ weeks}[/tex]
As Total food eats by the bears in four weeks = 9732 pounds
Total number of weeks = 4
Putting the value
[tex]Bears\ eats\ food\ in\ one\ week = \frac{9732}{4}[/tex]
Bears eats food in one week =2433 pounds
Now find out the how much food is used to feed one bear for a week .
[tex]Food\ is\ used\ to\ feed\ one\ bear\ for\ a\ week = \frac{Total\ food\ feed\ in\ one\ weeks}{Total\ number\ of\ bears}[/tex]
As
Total food feed in one weeks = 2433 pounds
Total number of bears = 20
Putting the value
[tex]Food\ is\ used\ to\ feed\ one\ bear\ for\ a\ week = \frac{2433}{20}[/tex]
Food is used to feed one bear for a week = 121.65
Food is used to feed one bear for a week = 122 pounds (Approx)
Therefore the 122 pounds of the food is used to feed one bear for a week .
