eviation of 4,000 miles.
a) What percent of the tires will last for at least 40,000 miles?
b) What percent of the tires will not last for at least 40,000 miles?
c) What is the probability that a tire will last for more than 50,000 miles?
d) The Firestone Company wants to advertise how long some of their tires last. They decide to state how long the top 3% of their tires will last. How many miles will the top 3% of their tires last?

Answer:
According to the passage, whales weight 300,000 pounds on average. Narwhales weigh 2,000 pounds on average.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question is extremely vague, I'll just answer what's the weight of whales and the weight of narwhals.
According to the paragraph, blue whales weigh 3× pounds.
This is what we call scientific notation. You could solve it normally, or you could use a faster method.
Scientific notation states that the first number that you see, the three, is the first part of the answer. The exponent on the number of zero's that there is.
That means that the answer to 3× you get 300,000.
Let's do the same thing to Narwhales.
2× is 2,000.
