Imagine you have a large supply of 3kg and 8kg weights. Two 3kg weights and three 8kg weights have a mean of 6kg, because (3+3+8+8+8)/5=6 Can you find other combinations of 3kg and 8kg weights whose mean weight is is whole number of kg? What's the smallest? Whats the largest? Can you make all the whole numbers inbetween?
You didn't spell it wrong!
YAY * hugs *
