pounds

Answer 1

To find out how much a 632-pound grizzly bear can lift, you would calculate 0.8 times its body weight:

\[
\text{Lifting capacity} = 0.8 \times 632 \, \text{pounds}
\]

\[
\text{Lifting capacity} = 505.6 \, \text{pounds}
\]

Therefore, you would expect a 632-pound grizzly bear to be able to lift approximately **505.6 pounds**.
