Answer:

30 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of adult blue whale = [tex]9 \times 10^{4}[/tex] kilogram

Weight of an elephant = [tex]3 \times 10^{3}[/tex] kilogram

In order to find how many times a quantity is as compared to the other quantity, we divide the two. So here we have to divide the weight of adult blue whale by the wight of elephant.

[tex]\frac{9 \times 10^{4}}{3 \times 10^{3}}\\= 30[/tex]

This means, adult blue whale is 30 times heavier than the elephant.
