The average weight of 6 boys is 150 pounds and the average weight of 4 girls is 120 pounds What is the average weight of the 10 children?

add up the two weights. 150+120=170. now divide that by 10. 170 divided by 10 is 17. that is the answer(:

math........so confusing.

that is not possible. immagine someone weighing 17kg. it should be (150X6 + 120X4)divided by 2 which equals 138 kilos

The full answer is

• the 6 boys weigh a total of 6 x 150 = 900lb
• the 4 girls weigh a total of 4 x 120 = 480lb
• the total weight of all 10 kids is 900 + 480 = 1380lb
• the average weight of the 10 kids is 1380 / 10 = 138lb
