You need 1610 pounds of food to feed all the elephants for a week.

Explanation:

To solve the question, you need to multiply the amount of food times the week.

Take note that:

  • Everyday the elephants eat 230 pounds of food.
  • There are 7 days in a week.

To solve the problem, you need to multiply 230 pounds of food times 7 days. (#230xx7#)

Using multiplication, you should end up with 1610 pounds of food for the whole week.
