Answer 3

Answer 4

Yeah @ccswims

Answer 5

ok I figured it out

Answer 6

amir ways 206, and the other person weighs 164

Answer 7

How did u get that ?

Answer 8

since 206 is 42 than 164

Answer 9

okay, so I did 370-42 to get 328

Answer 10

then I divided 328 to get 164

Answer 11

which is what Mike ways

Answer 12

you have to divide it amongest 3 people

Answer 13

not just 2

Answer 14

oh, I did not see that, I think you are right @ccswims

Answer 15

No its 2 people @ccswims

Answer 16

How is it 3 people ?????!

Answer 17

because it is asking about Steven

Answer 18

because they want to know STEVENS weight

Answer 19

not Mikes, if it was about Mike then yea, it would only be 2 people

Answer 20

what are the options?

Answer 21

does it mean all together steven,mike, and amir?

Answer 22

yea

Answer 23

I think I can try it and see if I get anything

Answer 24

No its just asking about steven

Answer 25

And how much he weighs

Answer 26

i think i got the answer, but idk because the weight i got for Amir is pretty unrealistic

Answer 27

i got 165.34 fro Steven

Answer 28

are there any choices you have for this question?

Answer 29

like, multiple choices?

Answer 30

No its just a problem where you show ur work

Answer 31

ok, well what i did was divide 370 by 3 for the 3 people. i then got 123.3. 123.33 - 42 = 81.33. 123.33 + 83.33 = 204.66

370 - 204.66 = 165.34

Answer 32

so basically i got

Amir = 84.33
Mike = 123.33
Steven = 165.34

Answer 33

but idk because Amir's weight seems unrealistic

Answer 34

I don't think that is right because when I added them I didn't get 370

Answer 35

Me either

Answer 36

WAIT

Answer 37

i meant 81.33 not 84.3

Answer 38

but now thats even more unrealistic

Answer 39

I was subtracting 370-42 then got 328 should I divide 328÷3 ??

Answer 40

@ccswims That seems about right, but I don't think the problem is very realistic like you wrote/said

Answer 41

I don't think there is a problem with your answer but rather a problem with the problem XD

Answer 42

Yeah this problem was very stupid !!!
