Answer: 60,004.41 kilograms

Explanation:

Given: Weight of Blue whales =
1.362 * 10^5 kilograms

=
1.3621* 100000=136210

Weight of blue whale = 2.27 x (weight of largest dinosaur )


136210=2.27* \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)} =(136210)/(2.27)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)}=60004.41

Hence, The weight of largest dinosaur = 60,004.41 kilograms
