The midnight zone

In the ocean there are more then 3 layers to it in fact we have only found like 5 percent of the ocean which means 95% of the ocean remains a mystery.Deep in the ocean there is a area called the Midnight zone...It is very dark there and all we know is one of the most ugliest and scariest creatures live down there and it's name is...Colossal Squid..Yeah you heard it A Giant squid lives in the most scariest art of the ocean.
< This is the image of it

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)

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

    I 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!
