Question

Arrange the zoo animals from greatest to least according to their weights. elephant: 5.5 × 103 kilograms giraffe: 1.6 × 103 kilograms lion: 1.9 × 102 kilograms Bengal tiger: 2.2 × 102 kilograms giant panda: 1.2 × 102 kilograms

Answer 1

elephant: 566.5 kilograms, Bengal tiger: 224.4kilograms, lion: 193.8 kilograms, , giraffe: 164.8 kilograms, giant panda: 122.4 kilograms

Explanation:

elephant: 566.5 kilograms, giraffe: 164.8 kilograms, lion: 193.8 kilograms, Bengal tiger: 224.4kilograms, giant panda: 122.4 kilograms

Answer 2

`5.5* 10^(3)>1.6* 10^(3)>2.2* 10^(2)>1.9* 10^(2)>1.2* 10^(2)`

Explanation:

Given : Weights of zoo animals.

To find : Arrange the zoo animals from greatest to least according to their weights?

Solution :

Write the weight in simpler number.

Elephant weight

`E=5.5* 10^(3)\text{ kg}=5.5*1000=5500\text{ kg}`

Giraffe weight

`G=1.6* 10^(3)\text{ kg}=1.6*1000=1600\text{ kg}`

Lion weight

`L=1.9* 10^(2)\text{ kg}=1.9*100=190\text{ kg}`

Bengal Tiger weight

`T=2.2* 10^(2)\text{ kg}=2.2*100=220\text{ kg}`

Giant Panda weight

`P=1.2* 10^(2)\text{ kg}=1.2*100=120\text{ kg}`

We have seen that,

5500>1600>220>190>120

i.e. E>G>T>L>P

From greatest to least the weight is

`5.5* 10^(3)>1.6* 10^(3)>2.2* 10^(2)>1.9* 10^(2)>1.2* 10^(2)`
