At a zoo, 3 pandas eat a total of 181 1/2 pounds of bamboo shoots each day. The male panda eats 3 times as much as the baby. The female eats twice as much as the baby. How many pounds of bamboo shoots does the female panda eat?

Since the question is using the baby as a reference for much the male and female eats. Treat baby as the variable or x So 3x+2x+x=181.5lb 6x=181.5lb x=30.25lb. female lb.=2×30.25=60.5lb of bamboo hopefully that helps.

The female panda eats 60.5 pounds of bamboo shoots each day. This was determined by setting up equations based on the eating habits of the pandas. By solving for the amount the baby panda eats, we were able to calculate the female panda's consumption.
