Male African elephants weigh approximately 13,000 lbs., eat
about 240 lbs. of food per day, and need 26 gal. of water
per day. If a herd of 22 elephants found 163,000 lbs. of
forage grasses in a section of the Savannah grasslands
and a watering hole with 10,000 gal. of water, would the
elephants run out of water or food first?
How long could the herd stay before they would run out
of that item?
If the elephants arrived on February 1, on what date
would they have to begin looking for a new spot?
