Maths Problem week 2 day 3

1 Adult can hold 25 kg

1 child can hold 15 kg

the squid is 500 kg how many children and adults are needed to carry the squid back to its home?

First answer: 20 adults can lift 500 kg alone so that means 20x25=500 kgs

Second answer: 12 adults can lift about 300 kg and 14 kids can lift 210 so that is 510. 12x25=300 14x15=210 300+210=510

Third Answer: 15x30= 450 25x2=50 450+50=500
So there will be 2 adults and 30 kids

    Hi Alex interesting answer. Could you have an equal ratio of adults to children in your answer? What other combinations of adults to children could you have?

    Hi Alex

    Interesting answers. I really like the strategy that you used to come up with your solutions.

    Out of you three options, what do you think the most practical choice would be?

    Blog you later,
    Izzy
