Q. The elephants at the Harrison Zoo are fed 41 of a barrel of corn each day. The buffalo are fed 2 times as much corn as the elephants. How many barrels of corn are the buffalo fed each day?Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.__ barrels
Calculate Daily Corn Consumption: First, let's figure out how much corn the elephants eat each day. They eat 41 of a barrel daily.
Determine Buffalo's Corn Consumption: Next, since the buffalo eat 2 times as much as the elephants, we multiply the amount the elephants eat by 2. So, 41×2=21.
Final Buffalo Corn Consumption: Therefore, the buffalo are fed 21 a barrel of corn each day.
