Answer:

The Giraffe has a weight which is 3 times that of the Gorilla

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the number of ways in which the giraffe’s weight is greater than the gorillas

From the question, the weight of the giraffe is 4.5 * 10^3 pounds

The weight of the Gorilla is 150 pounds

So, the number of ways it will be greater will be;

(4.5 * 10^3)/150 = 4500/150 = 30 times

The Giraffe is 3 times the weight of the Gorilla
