A female hippopotamus can weigh 48,000 ounces. How many tons can a female
hippopotamus weigh?

1.5 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

48,000 ounces converts to 1.5 tons.

1.5 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

1 US tons is equal to 32,000 ounces. Using this, you divided 48,000/32,000 =  12/8 = 1.5 tons

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
