Question

Male African elephants have an average length of 7.5 meters. What is the combined average length, in centimeters, of five male African elephants?

Answer 1

The combined average length of five male elephants is 3750cm

Explanation:

1 elephant = 7.5m

5 elephants=?

We cross multiply.

5 * 7.5= 37.5m

So the average combined length of 5 male elephants is 37.5m

So we convert 37.5m to centimetres

Recall, 100cm = 1m

With this in mind, we convert 37.5m to cm by multiplying by 100

So, 37.5 x 100= 3750cm.
