The Midnight Zone
The 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?
On your blog, tell us how you will solve this maths problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer.
It would end up taking 20 Adults to lift it if they all lifted 25kg
20 x 25 = 500Kgs
or 500Kgs divided by 25Kgs = 20 Adults
20 x 25 = 500Kgs
or 500Kgs divided by 25Kgs = 20 Adults
