I've
been thinking about the book, Who Sank the Boat, by Pamela
Allen and how it was the mouse who sank the boat! Suppose I have
the following baby animals:
horse - 10 pounds, cow - 6 pounds, sheep - 5 pounds, pig - 4 pounds, dog - 3 pounds and a cat - 2 pounds
My boat has a capacity of 30 pounds. This means the boat will hold up to and including 30 pounds. Will all these baby animals sink the boat?_______
Show your work.
If we add a mouse that weighs 1 pound, will it sink the boat?___________
