The weight of an adult blue whale is 9 × 104 kilograms; the weight of an elephant is 3 × 103 kilograms. How many times heavier is the whale than the elephant?
Answer:
The whale is \(30\) times heavier than the elephant
Step-by-step explanation:
we have that
The weight of an adult blue whale is \(9*10^{4} \ kg\)
The weight of an elephant is \(3*10^{3} \ kg\)
To find how many times heavier is the whale than the elephant
Divided the weight of the whale by the weight of the elephant
so
\(\frac{9*10^{4}}{3*10^{3}} =3*10^{4-3}=3*10=30\)
