There are 4 wolves out hunting for the pack. The pack contains 16 additional wolves. Each wolf needs to eat 8 pounds of meat a day and the wolves won't hunt again for five days. If each deer contains 200 pounds of meat, how many deer does each wolf need to kill? Let's be accurate as possible.

The wolf pack has 20 members because 4 + 16 = 20. They need 160 pounds of meat a day because 20 x 8 = 160. They need 800 pounds to last five days because 5 x 160 = 800. The hunters need to kill 4 deer because 800 / 200 = 4. They each need to kill one deer because 4 / 4 = 1.
The answer: 1.
