So on this task we had to imagine if a adult can lift 25 kg and a kid can lift up 15 kg so I added twenty five plus fifteen equals 40 then I did 40 X 500 which is how much the giant octopus that every adult and kid trys to lift. The answer is 2000
How’s your Friday going? It is so dull and grey today in Auckland, I wish it was sunny! Do you have any plans for the weekend? I am spending it with my whanau down in Rotorua, I am really looking forward to it.
Well done on giving this a try! Sometimes maths can be a bit tricky but it is always good to give it a go. I will walk you through this answer. We need to work out how many adults or kids it would take to carry the squid which weighs 500kg. 500kg (squid) divided by 25kg (weight of an average adult)= 20 adults. 500kg (squid) divided by 15kg (weight of an average child) = 33 children. Let me know if you need any help with understanding this.
