A kangaroo weighs about 0.04 ounces at birth. Fully grown it can weigh 185 pounds. How many times as heavy as a newborn kangaroo is a fully grown adult?
what is 185/.04 ?
To find out how many times as heavy a fully grown adult kangaroo is compared to a newborn, you divide the weight of the adult by the weight of the newborn.
First, let's convert the weight of the newborn kangaroo from ounces to pounds. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, we can divide 0.04 ounces by 16 to get the weight in pounds:
0.04 ounces / 16 ounces = 0.0025 pounds
Now we can calculate how many times heavier the adult kangaroo is compared to the newborn:
185 pounds (adult weight) / 0.0025 pounds (newborn weight) = 74,000
Therefore, a fully grown adult kangaroo is roughly 74,000 times heavier than a newborn kangaroo.
