Since the elephant weighs 14,520 pounds, and weighs 30.25 times as much as the largest gorilla. You would divide 14,520 by 30.25 to get 480. The largest gorilla is 480 pounds.

Let the elephant = e

Let the gorillas = g

e = 30.25 * g

e = 14,520lbs

(14,520lbs)/30.25=(30.25)/30.25*g

480lbs=g

The largest gorillas weigh 480 lbs.

ok so basically im monkey
