    45 pounds of meat

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to simplify an expression so we would be able to get the amount in pounds of meat eaten by a lion and its cubs.

    The expression to be simplified is 3 * 9 + 9 * 2

    Now to get the amount, we need to follow the order of simplifying expressions. And in following the order, we simplify multiplication before addition.

    This means;

    3 * 9 = 27 and we add to 9 * 2 = 18

    That makes 18 + 27 = 45 pounds of meat

    The amount of meat consumed each day by the lions is 45 pounds of meat

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we are required to simplify an expression as follows;

    3 * 9 + 9 * 2

    We note that the Lions eat 9 pounds of meat daily while the cubs eat 2 pounds of meat daily

    Since there are 3 lions and 9 cubs, the total amount of daily meat consumed is given by

    3 * 9 + 9 * 2 = 9 * 3 + 9 * 2 = 9 * (3 + 2) = 9 * 5 = 45

    45 pounds of meat is consumed each day by the lions.
