Weight of Elephant in Pounds:
Newborn
380 pounds
3-year-old
3,755 pounds
An adult elephant weighs 3 tons. How much more weight does the 3-year-old elephant need to gain to reach adult weight?

Respuesta :

Answer: 2245 lbs or 1.1225 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ton = 2000 lbs

adult weighs 3 tons or 6000 pounds

so I took the 3 year olds weight of 3755 and subtracted that from the adults weight in pounds to find the total weight in pounds needed to become an adult

6000-3755 = 2245 lbs and if you want it in tons then divide by 2000

2245 / 2000 = 1.1225 tons
