Answer :
First, calculate the total number of days in 6 weeks. Since each week has 7 days, we have
[tex]$$
\text{Total days} = 6 \times 7 = 42.
$$[/tex]
Next, the panda eats 30 kg of bamboo per day. Therefore, the total bamboo eaten in 42 days is
[tex]$$
\text{Total bamboo (in kg)} = 30 \times 42 = 1260.
$$[/tex]
Now, using the conversion factor [tex]$1\ \text{kg} \approx 2.2\ \text{lb}$[/tex], convert the total amount from kilograms to pounds:
[tex]$$
\text{Total bamboo (in lb)} = 1260 \times 2.2 = 2772.
$$[/tex]
Thus, the panda eats about [tex]$\boxed{2772\ \text{lb}}$[/tex] of bamboo in 6 weeks.
[tex]$$
\text{Total days} = 6 \times 7 = 42.
