"Think! Think and wonder. Wonder and think. How much water can 55 elephants drink?"
— Dr. Seuss
In honor of Dr. Seuss who was born on March 2, 1904, our problem this month is to answer Dr. Seuss' question above.
Adult elephants can eat between 200-600 pounds of food a day. Elephants can also drink up to 50 gallons of water a day
(about as much as a standard bathtub holds).
So, how many gallons of water can 55 elephants drink in a year?
How many tons would that water weigh?
