Question

A large adult elephant weighs 24,000 pounds. A baby elephant, on the other hand, weighs only 260 pounds. How much more does the adult elephant weigh? in tons and pounds

Answer 1

24,000-260= 23740 pounds

So,

23740/2000= 11.87 tons

Answer 2

1 tonne = 2000 pounds

Therefore the Elephant is 24000×2000= 48 000 000 tonne

Baby Elephant is 260×2000 = 520 000 tonne

Difference between the 2 are:
47 480 000 tonne

In pound it's 23740 pound
