Weight of an adult blue whale = 120 tons


Find the weight of a baby whale:

Baby blue whale = 1/40 x adult blue whale

Baby blue whale = 1/40 x 120

Baby blue whale = 3 tons


Convert 3 tons into pounds:

1 ton = 2000 pounds

3 tons = 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds


Answer: A baby whale weighs 6000 pounds
