Answer:

Explanation:

It depends on what you have been told about rounding when a 5 is involved.

If you can round if the answer is 4500, then that would be your answer. If you have some complicated method of dealing with the 5 (involving odd or even numbers) the elephant's minimum weight will be different.

I would go with 4500.
