Question

8. An elephant weighs 74,416 ounces. How many tons does it weigh?

Answer 1

To know how many tons does the elephant weigh, we have to do a convertion:

1 ounce=3.125x10^-5 ton

$74.416ounces\times\frac{3.125\times10^{-5}}{1\text{ ounce}}=2.3255\times10^{-3}$

The elephant weighs 2.3255x10^-3 tons
