This squid weighs approximately 500 kg
Let’s imagine that the average adult can lift 25 kg and the average child can lift 15 kg. How many adults and children will it take to move the giant squid into its new room at Te Papa?
Let's try figure this out...
Adults-25kg (Can lift)
Child- 15 kg (Can lift)
Squid - 500 kg (Weighs)
Adults-25kg (Can lift)
Child- 15 kg (Can lift)
Squid - 500 kg (Weighs)
5 adults - 125 kg (375 kg left)
9 children - 135 kg ( 240 kg left)
9 adults- 225 kg (15 left)
1 child (0 kg left)
You can try it my way or yours your choice :)
Have a great holidays! <3
Hi Coree
ReplyDeleteI really love the way that you have solved this problem. You have used a good mix of adults and children to carry the squid. Do you think there is a way to solve this problem so only adults or only children are carrying the squid?
Let me know!
