Answer 1

Answer: 60,004.41 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Weight of Blue whales = $1.362 \times 10^5$ kilograms

= $1.3621\times 100000=136210$

Weight of blue whale = 2.27 x (weight of largest dinosaur )

$136210=2.27\times \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)} =\dfrac{136210}{2.27}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)}=60004.41$

Hence, The weight of largest dinosaur = 60,004.41 kilograms
