Question: An adult blue whale weighs 200 tons. An adult Hector's dolphin weighs 125 pounds. How many times the weight of the Hector's dolphin is the blue whale?
Answer: 3,200 times the weight
Solution: A ton is 2,000 pounds, so 200 tons is 200 x 2,000 = 400,000 pounds. If we divide 400,000 by 125, we get 3,200. So, the blue whale is 3,200 times the weight of the Hector's dolphin.
