To answer this question, you will need to multiply 2.8 times 1.5. Remove the decimal points and multiply like you usually would. After you get your answer, count the number of decimal places after the decimal point, which is 2. Move the decimal place 2 times to the left in your answer. You get 4.20. So, the length of the male elephant seal is 4.20 meters long.
