The zoo has two elephants. The male elephants weighs 2/3 of a tan and the female elephant weighs 1/2 of a ton. How much more does the male weigh than the female

To find out how much more the male elephant weighs than the female, we need to subtract the weight of the female elephant from the weight of the male elephant.

The weight of the male elephant is 2/3 of a ton.
The weight of the female elephant is 1/2 of a ton.

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6.

So, the weight of the male elephant is (2/3) * 6/6 = 12/18 tons.
The weight of the female elephant is (1/2) * 6/6 = 6/12 tons.

Now, we can subtract the weight of the female elephant from the weight of the male elephant:
12/18 - 6/12 = (12*2)/(18*2) - 6/12 = 24/36 - 18/36 = 6/36 = 1/6 tons.

Therefore, the male elephant weighs 1/6 tons more than the female elephant.
