Question

Makes up 27 per cent of a blue whale’s body weight. Deepak found the average weight of blue whales and used it to calculate the average weight of their blubber. He wrote the amount as 2² × 3² × 5 × 17 kg. Evaluate this amount.

Answer 1

Weight calculated by Deepak = 2² × 3² × 5 × 17 kg

= 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 17

= 4 × 9 × 5 × 17

= 36 × 5 × 17

= 180 × 17

= 3060 kg

Hence, weight calculated by Deepak was 3060 kg.
