A kangaroo weighs about 0.03 ounces at birth. Fully grown, it can weigh 180 pounds. How many times as heavy as a newborn kangaroo is a fully grown adult? And no its not 6000, convert 180 pound to 180 ouncs

Well 1lb is 16oz so I would do 180x16 which equals 2,880 then divide 2,880 by the initial weight .03oz which is 96,000 so I think 96,000 is the answer
hope I helped..

Answer:

Fully grown kangaroo is 96000 times heavy than a newly born kangaroo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A kangaroo weighs about 0.03 ounces at birth. Fully grown, it can weigh 180 pounds.

To find : How many times as heavy as a newborn kangaroo is a fully grown adult?

Solution :

Let the number of times the weight increases is 'x'.

New born weight of a kangaroo w= 0.03 ounce

Weight after fully grown = 180 pounds

Converting pounds into ounce,

1 pound = 16 ounce

180 pound = 180 × 16 = 2880 ounce

Full weight W=2880 ounce

According to question,

[tex]x\times w=W[/tex]

Substitute the values,

[tex]x\times 0.03=2880[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{2880}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{2880\times 100}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=96000[/tex]

Therefore, fully grown kangaroo is 96000 times heavy than a newly born kangaroo.
