Best Answer

Answer = Approximately 15 adult male African elephants

Solution Method:

1. Define facts:

A. African elephants are the largest land animals.

Males can weigh between 9,000-13,000 pounds (4,500-6,000 kg).

Females can weigh 4,500-7,000 pounds.

B. 1 (short) ton = 2000 lbs

2. Setup an equation to answer your question

elephants = 100 tons / 13,000 lbs

elephants = (100 tons * 2000 lbs/short) ton / 13,000

elephants = 200,000 lbs / 13,000 lbs

elephants = ~15.38

elephants = ~15 (rounded down to the nearest integer)
