I really like how you told us how to work it out and how you told us what you did I thought that is something that every post should have and how you put a picture of the squid it doesn't look that heavy but we won't know until we have tried to pick it up and I don't think it is a good idea to try to pick it up anyways
Next time you could tell us how many kids could try to pick it up eg: 11 adults and 5 kids that might be the wrong answer so yea but you could also decorate it by coloring the letter that will make your post stand out also you could of tell us the if there is any else way to do it
This reminded me off when I did this activity but I got a different answer and I did it a different way I think I did it by timing as far as I could remember
Well done for attempting this SLJ activity, 'The Midnight Zone' and for trying to tell us how many adults and how many kids it would take to transport this 500kg Colossal Squid.
I see you've selected 11 adults but how much of the weight could the adults carry? We can find this out by multiplying 11 adults by the weight they can carry, which in this case is 25kgs. This would equal 275 kgs, so we need to take this away from the 500kgs as we know this is how much the Colossal Squid weighs. We're left with 225kgs, so how many kids will it take to carry this? Remember that the kids can only carry 15kgs each.
I'll only be able to reward you with half points for this activity until you are able to tell me how many children we will need to help carry the Colossal Squid.
I'll keep an eye on this post, but be sure to respond to my comment so that I know you've edited this post.
