A male African elephant weighs 7 Tons. If a male African lion at the local zoo weighs 40 of the weight of the male African elephant, how many pounds does the lion weigh?
40% = 0.4
0.4 * 7 = 2.8 tons
so, how many lbs is that?
idk im dumb
To find out how many pounds the lion weighs, we first need to convert the weight of the elephant from tons to pounds.
1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. So, a 7-ton African elephant weighs 7 tons * 2,000 pounds/ton = 14,000 pounds.
Next, we need to determine the weight of the lion. It is given that the male African lion at the zoo weighs 40 times the weight of the male African elephant.
Therefore, the weight of the lion is 40 * 14,000 pounds = 560,000 pounds.
Hence, the male African lion at the zoo weighs 560,000 pounds.
