6 tons to pounds is 12,000 pounds. So the elephant weighs 12,000 lbs.
Ok I know how to do this but what do I need to do?

Answer: 60 teachers</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
There are 500 female students and the ratio of boys to girls is 2:5
Multiply both parts of that ratio by 100 so that the "5" turns into "500"
The ratio 2:5 turns into 200:500 showing that for every 200 male students there are 500 female students. There are 200+500 = 700 students total.
Because of this 700 figure, we'll need to multiply both parts of the ratio 3:35 by 20 so that the 35 becomes 700.
The ratio 3:35 turns into 60:700. For every 60 teachers, there are 700 students.
----------------------
Another way to solve:
The ratio of boys to girls is 2:5 which we can write as 2/5
x = number of boys
2/5 = x/500
2*500 = 5x
1000 = 5x
5x = 1000
x = 1000/5
x = 200
There are 200 boys and 500 girls, so 200+500 = 700 total.
y = number of teachers
3/35 = y/700
3*700 = 35y
2100 = 35y
35y = 2100
y = 2100/35
y = 60

Answer: x is 9° , y is 21°. The measure of angle ABE is 48°.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we will solve for x.
The variable x appears in the angle 8x + 18 and that angle is a right angle.
Right angles have the measure of 90 degrees so we will set the angle equal 90 and solve for x.
8x + 18 = 90 Subtract 18 from both sides
- 18 -18
8x = 72 divide both sides by 8
x = 9
y is also on the right side and the combination of both angles has to also equal 90 degrees because they form a right angle.
Since we already know x is 9 we will input it into the left side for x and solve for y.
y + 3(9) + 2y = 90
3y + 27= 90
-27 -27
3y = 63
y = 21
Now we need to find the measure of angle ABE.
ABE is represented by y + 3x so since we know the value of y and x we will input it into the expression and solve for the angle.
21 + 3(9) = m∠ABE
21 + 27= m∠ABE
48 = m∠ABE
This means the measure of angle ABE is 48°
