The blossom of the saguaro cactus is the state flower of Arizona. A saguaro cactus can weigh as much as 10 tons about 3/4 of a saguaros weight comes from the water it stores inside of it. If a saguaro cactus weighs 10 tons, about how much of its weight is water?

10 tons = 20,000 Ibs

20,000 * 3/4 =

15,000

The water weight of the saguaro cactus is 15,000 Ibs
