An adult female elephant weights about 8000 pounds. a newborn baby elephant weights about 200 pounds. write the ration of the baby elephant’s weight to the adult female elephant’s weight. write the ratio as a decimal.

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 w1: weight of baby elephant
 w2: weight of the adult elephant
 We now write the relation of pesos as a fraction:
 
 Simplifying we have:
 
 Then, the ratio of weights as a decimal is:
 
 
 the ration of the baby elephant's weight to the adult female elephant's weight is:
 1:40
 the ratio as a decimal is:
