Answer:

  6.44×10⁷ g

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario seems unlikely, as a brachiosaurus weighs about 6.9 times as much as a tyrannosaur. The sum of the two weights is ...

  8.16×10³ kg + 1.24×10⁵ lb

  = 8.16×10³ kg + (1.24×10⁵ lb)/(2.2046 lb/kg)

  = 8.16×10³ kg + 5.62×10⁴ kg

  = 6.44×10⁴ kg . . . . . rounded to 3 significant figures

  = 6.44×10⁷ g . . . . . . weight of not-so-hungry tyrannosaur

_____

1 kg = 10³ g
