Answer:

<em>C: The shark weighs 2200 pounds more than the whale.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have to remember first that one ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. Then, we convert tons to pounds (for the whale) to get 4(2,000)=8,000 pounds. So, the whale weighs 8,000 pounds. The shark weighs 10,200 pounds, so all you have to do now is do 10,200-8,000 to get 2,200 pounds. So, the answer is C.

Your answer would be C).
Because. 1 ton equals 2,000 pounds. So you take 2,000 pounds and times it by 4 because a whale weighs 4 tons. That gives you 8,000 pounds.

Now to find out how much more the the shark weighs in pounds you take the weight of the shark (10,200 pounds) and minus that by the weight of the whale in pounds(8,00) so 10,200-8,00 equals 2,200 and that’s your answer!!

1. The numbers in the section to the right of the diagonal (white squares) are the same as in the section to the left of the diagonal. Or, in other words, the numbers in the darker shaded section are repeated in the lighter shaded section.

2. The 10 × table is just the 10s in order (10, 20, 30, 40 and so on).

3. The 5 × table has numbers ending in 5 and 0 alternately, while the first digit increases every 2 numbers.

4. The 9 × table has the units decreasing by 1 and the 10s increasing by 1 each time (up to 10 × 9).

5. The numbers in the 3 × table have the sum of their digits coming to 3, then 6, then 9. This pattern repeats throughout the table: e.g. 12: 1 + 2 = 3; 15: 1 + 5 = 6, 18: 1 + 8 = 9.
