A panda eats about 30 kg of bamboo per day. About how many pounds of bamboo will the panda eat in 6 weeks? (1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb)

A. 95 lb
B. 462 lb
C. 573 lb
D. 2772 lb

Answer :

The first step in solving this problem is converting the kilograms into pounds. The conversion is 1 kg = 2.2 pounds. You will need to multiply 30 kg by 2.2 which is 66 pounds. Now you need to figure out how many days are in 6 weeks. Multiple 7 by 6 and you will have 42 days. Now you can multiple 66 pounds by 42 days for your final answer of 2,772 pounds of bamboo.
The correct answer is D
