Best estimation of weight of an elephant.
Answer to Problem 26PPE
The best estimation of weight of the elephant is 7.5 tons.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The choices for the selection of elephants are 7.5 pounds, 7.5 tons and 7.5 ounces.
Calculation:
A normal elephant weight is in the range of 5-8 tons. And ton is the larger unit as compare to pounds and ounces.
1 ton has 2000 pounds and 1 pound has 16 ounces.
So, the normal weight of the elephant in ponds must be 10000-16000 pounds and 160000-256000.
Thus, the best estimation of weight of the elephant is 7.5 tons.
