At a zoo 3 pandas eat a total of 181.5 pounds of bamboo shoots each day. the male eats 3 times as much as the baby. the female eat twice as much. how many pounds of bamboo shoots does the female panda eat?

At a zoo it has been found that the total amount of bamboo shoots eaten by 3 pandas in a day is 181.5 pounds. Also it is given that the male panda eats 3 times as that of the baby panda and the female panda eats 2 times as that of the baby panda.

Let us assume that the amount of bamboo shoot eaten by the baby panda in a day = X

The amount of bamboo shoots eaten by the male panda in a day = 3X

Amount of bamboo shoots eaten by the female panda in a day = 2X

Then

X + 3X + 2X = 181.5

6X = 181.5

X = 181.5/6

= 30.25

So the baby panda eats a total of 30.25 pounds of bamboo shoots in a day.

The amount of bamboo shoots eaten by the female panda in a single day = 2 * 30.25

= 60.50

So the female panda eats 60.50 pounds of bamboo shoots in a day.
