Question

A male African elephant weights 7 tons. If a African lion at the local zoo weights 1/4 of the weight of the male African elephant , how many pounds does the lion weigh?

Answer 1

So lets do the math.

A ton is 2000 pounds.

So 7 tons is 14,000 pounds.

1/4 of 14,000 is 3500.

So the African Lion weighs 3500 pounds.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The lion weighs 3,500 lbs
