The greatest weight it 7.7 and u would need to round up
7.7- 8 tons

Answer 2

Least weigh is 4 tons.

Greatest weigh is 8 tons.

Explanation:

We know that the African bush elephant weighs is between 4.4 tons and 7.7 tons, that is, the least weigh is 4.4 tones and the most weigh is 7.7 tones.

So, the problem is asking for the least and greatest rounded to the nearest ton, that means we have to round each number to the whole part.

If we round 4.4, it would be done by remaining the same whole digit, because 4 is less than 5. Therefore, the least weight is 4 tons.

If we round 7.7, it would be done by upgrading the 7 to an 8, because the next number is more than 5. therefore, the greatest weigh is 8 tons.
