Question

A donkey weighs 570 pounds and an elephant weighs 5 tons. How much more does the elephant weigh?

Answer 1

A ton is equivalent to 1000 pounds so:
the elephant weighs 5000 pounds
5000-570= 4430
The elephants weighs 4430 pounds more.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

5 tons = 10,000 lb

10,000 lb − 570 lb = 9,430 lb = 4 tons and 1,430 lb

This answer is if you want it in tons and pounds.
