Answer:

Explanation:

Weight of the new born elephant = 34 kg

It is expected that at adulthood, the newborn elephant will weigh approximately 34 times as much as its birth weight.

Weight of the adult elephant = 34 times as much as its birth weight.

= 34 × 34 kg

The expression 34 × 34 kg represent the expected adults weight of the new born elephant
