Answer 1

7 tons

Explanation:

The average weight of a male African elephant is 15,000 pounds. To convert this weight into tons, we need to divide it by 2,000 (since there are 2,000 pounds in a ton).

So, 15,000 ÷ 2,000 = 7.5 tons.

Therefore, the answer is 7 tons (since there are no fractions of tons in the options given).

Answer 2

Explanation:

The average weight of a male African elephant is 15,000 pounds.

To convert pounds to tons, we divide the weight in pounds by 2,000 (the number of pounds in a ton):

15,000 pounds ÷ 2,000 pounds/ton = 7.5 tons

Therefore, the weight of a male African elephant is approximately 7.5 tons.

So the closest answer to this question is "7 tons".
