Answer 2

12,600 pounds.

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of male elephant = 6728 pounds,

The weight of female elephant = 5843 pounds,

So, the total weight of these two elephants = 6728 + 5843 =12571 pounds,

∵ Tens place digit of 12571 = 7,

Also, if tens place in a number is 7 so, the number would be rounded to the next hundred,

That is, 12571 ≈ 12600

Hence, the total weight of the elephants is 12600 pounds.
