An elephant weighs 12,000 pounds, which is 3/4 of the weight of a whale. a giraffe weighs 1/8 of the weight of the whale or 5/6 of the weight of 12 deer. how much do 10 deer weigh?

The weight of 10 deer is 2,000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the weight of  the elephant in pounds

y ----> the weight of  the whale in pounds

z ----> the weight of  the giraffe in pounds

w ----> the weight of  the deer in pounds

step 1

Find the weight of the whale

we know that

----> equation A

substitute the value of x

step 2

Find the weight of the giraffe

substitute the value of y

step 3

Find the weight of 10 deer

simplify

that means

The weight of the giraffe is equal to the weight of 10 deer

therefore

The weight of 10 deer is 2,000 pounds

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
