To lift a 500 kg squid you will need 16 adults to work this out I went 400 divided by 25 = 16
and you need you need 6.6666666667 children which is impossible so i rounded it up to 7 kids. In total thats 23 people to lift the squid.
It is great to see that you have problem solved to get this answer. Well done I can see that you have really thought about it. So well done! You are so right that if you use 6 kids then you are a little bit short of the 500kgs. So I would just round it up to 7 as well and then you are only 5 kgs over the amount. Better to have too many than not enough. Do you like maths Daniel? You have worked this our really well. Good to see.
