How much does it weigh?</p> <p>My Grandson had this question on a test, he answered with 800 kilos and got it wrong. Even though he will speak with the teacher about what he should have done to get the correct answer. I would like some feedback in the mean time.</p>bit0ffurybit0ffuryfemale54questionTue, 06 Oct 2009 09:00:29 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/shark_weighs_600_K_science_273053873319265/?src=rss:qb:qbihttp://yedda.com/questions/shark_weighs_600_K_science_273053873319265/Sad_teacher_right_trick_math_Weight_951971311586385?src=rss:qb:qbi<p>Sad, the teacher is right, even it is more a trick then math: Here we go: Weight=x</p> <p>600+x/3 = x  ;  600 = x-x/3  ;  600 = 2/3x  ; 600/2 * 3 = <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>900 kilo's</strong> </span></p> <p>hope it helps</p>gunterguntermale49answer4.0Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:47:35 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/shark_weighs_600_K_science_273053873319265/Sad_teacher_right_trick_math_Weight_951971311586385?src=rss:qb:qbi
