EZ MATH

Answer 2

The whale is
`30` times heavier than the elephant

Explanation:

we have that

The weight of an adult blue whale is
`9*10^(4) \ kg`

The weight of an elephant is
`3*10^(3) \ kg`

To find how many times heavier is the whale than the elephant

Divided the weight of the whale by the weight of the elephant

so

`(9*10^(4))/(3*10^(3)) =3*10^(4-3)=3*10=30`
