19. But first, remember that lion problem from Module 1: Habits of Mind.
Every morning, the zookeeper feeds each lion 3/8 of a pound of
raw meat. He feeds 5 lions. How many pounds of meat does
he need each morning?
Revisit your journal notes from Module 1. After all you have learned in
this course, how would you phrase the question now?
