If an average 7th grade student weighs 91 pounds and Hugo the Elephant weighs 18,130 pounds, about how many average 7th grade students would be needed to equal the weight of Hugo?

The elephant weighs 18,130, and we want to see how many seventh graders weighing 91 pounds it will take to equal the weight of the elephant.

To find our answer, we divide 18,130 by 91.

18,130÷91 = 199.2307

Since you said about how many average 7th grade students, it means you only need an estimate, not an exact number.

The final answer is 199 average seventh-grade students.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Divide 18,130 by 91 and you get 199.23 so it is 199 students.
