the male elephant at the city zoo weigh 8,000 pound, which is the same as 4 tons. the female elephant weigh 7,000 pounds. how many tons does she weigh?

3.5 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the pounds for the male by the amount of tons it is.

8000/4 = 2000

This is how many pounds are in one ton.  Divide the weight of the female by this.

7000/2000 = 3.5

The female weighs 3.5 tons.

to determine the unit cost your would divide the total cost by the number sold.

7 bagels for $4.41       $4.41/7 = $.63 each at fresh side

5 bagels for $3.60         $3.60/5 = $.72 each at value mart
