This week for activity 3, day 3 of week 2 of Summer Learning Journey, we had to solve a math problem. The problem was a 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?. We could use things to solve the problem on. The problem was hard to do.
A average adult can lift 25 kg and the average child can lift 15 kg. The squid is 500 kg. How many adults and children will it take to move the giant squid into its new room at Te Papa?
It takes 14 adults and 10 children to move the giant squid, because 14 x 25 = 350 and 10 x 15 = 150. 350 + 150 = 500.
