Answer:

The whale is
times heavier than the elephant

Explanation:

we have that

The weight of an adult blue whale is
$9*10^(4) \ kg$

The weight of an elephant is
$3*10^(3) \ kg$

To find how many times heavier is the whale than the elephant

Divided the weight of the whale by the weight of the elephant

so

(9*10^(4))/(3*10^(3)) =3*10^(4-3)=3*10=30
