A group of 5 hippos at the zoo eats a total of 2,100 pounds of food each

week. How much on average does each hippo eat every day?

First, divide the total pounds of food eaten by 7 (7 days in a week).

2,100/7 = 300 pounds

Then divide this quotient by the 5 hippos.

300/5 = 60 pounds

Therefore, each hippo eats 60 pounds of food every day.

60 pounds

2100/7=300

300/5=60
