Answer:
12508 pounds
Explanation:
We are given that
Weight of a male elephant=6708 pounds
Weight of a female elephant=5823 pounds
We have to find the sum of weight of two elephants
Weight of a female elephant=5823 pounds=5800 (Nearest hundred)
If tens place is less than 5 then the hundred place remain same and digits on left side of a hundred place remain same and digits on right side of hundred place replace by zero.
Therefore, weight of a female elephant=5800(nearest hundred)
Sum of weight of two elephants=6708+5800=12508 pounds
Hence, the total weight of the two elephants=12508 pounds.
