Given:
donkey weighs 570 pounds and an elephant weighs 5 tons
Determine how much more does the elephant weigh.
Solution:
In order to make the process easy, we convert tons into pounds then divide the weight of the donkey by the weight of elephant in pounds.
1 ton = 2000lb
5 ton = 10000lb
10000lb/ 570 lb
=17.54
The elephant is 17.54 times heavier than the donkey.
