weighing the baby at the clinic was a problem. the baby would not keep still and caused the scales to wobble. So i held the baby and stepped on the scales while the nurse read off 78 kg. then the nurse held the baby while i read off 69 kg. finally, i held the nurse while the baby read off 137 kg. what is the combined weight of all three?
