at the zoo, three adult lions together eat 250 pounds of food a day. if two more adult lions joined the group and ate food at the same rate as the original three, how much food would the zoo need to provide all five lions each day?

50 lbs of food

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 5 lions that eat 250 pounds of food a day, all you need to do is divide to get your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

250/3 = 83. 333333 times 5 = 416.666666667 or 417

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
