the average giant pacific octopus weighs about 75 pounds. the largest octopus ever found weighed 8 times this amount. how much did the largest octopus weigh

8 * 75 = 4 * 150 = 2 * 300 = 600

To figure out the weight of the largest octopus, we need to multiply the average weight of a giant Pacific octopus (75 pounds) by 8.

Let's do the calculation:
75 pounds × 8 = 600 pounds

Therefore, the largest octopus ever found weighed 600 pounds.
