If an owl produces two pellets every 24 hours, and each pellet contains the remains of 3 prey, how many prey does it eat in a week? In a month?

Answer :

The owl eats 42 prey in a week and 180 prey in a month.

To calculate how much the owl eats in a week and a month, we need to determine the number of prey consumed in each time period.

In a week:

The owl produces two pellets every 24 hours. So, in one day, it consumes 2 * 3 = 6 prey (since each pellet contains the remains of 3 prey).

In a week (7 days), the owl consumes 6 * 7 = 42 prey.

In a month:

Assuming a month has 30 days (though some months have 31 days or 28/29 days), we can calculate the number of prey consumed in a month.

In a day: 6 prey

In a month (30 days): 6 * 30 = 180 prey.

Hence, the owl eats 42 prey in a week and 180 prey in a month.
