Answer:

30 times

Explanation:

Weight of adult blue whale =
9 * 10^(4) kilogram

Weight of an elephant =
3 * 10^(3) kilogram

In order to find how many times a quantity is as compared to the other quantity, we divide the two. So here we have to divide the weight of adult blue whale by the wight of elephant.


(9 * 10^(4))/(3 * 10^(3))\\= 30

This means, adult blue whale is 30 times heavier than the elephant.
