HI I am back with another activity so this one is about maths. I have to work out a maths problem. the problem is adults can carry 25kgs and kids can carry 15kgs and they need to move a giant Squid that weighs 500kgs. I have a picture of how I worked it out. The hole thing will be written under the picture if you can't see the picture. 10 kids 10 adults
20+20= 40 5+5= 10 40+10= 50+50= 100
4 adults
10+10= 20 5+5=10 20+10= 30+30= 60
4 kids
20+10=30 5+5= 10 30+10= 40
1 kid 1 adult
100+60+40= 200+200=400
10 kids 10 adults
20+20+20+20=80 5+5+5+5=20
80+20=100
400+100=50
This equals 10 Kids and 14 Adults
Kia Ora Taya,
ReplyDeleteWell done completing another SLJ activity.
I can see from your calculations you have come to the correct answer, 10 kids and 14 adults.
However adding in Units of measure (Kgs) would help for others to understand your calculations.
for example: 10 kids x 15 Kgs = 150kgs
14 adults x 25 Kgs = 350 Kgs.
150 Kgs + 350 Kgs = 500 Kgs.
This way it becomes clear for everybody else to understand how you've reached your answer.
Also, on your page you've written 6 kids and 10 adults, on the top of this page it writes 10 kids and 10 adults, and at the bottom on the page you've written 10 kids and 14 adults. Be sure to know which final answer you're choosing, so we don't become confused.
I look forward to reading more of your blog entries!
Thanks,
Jordan
