HIPPO PROBLEM
Martha is the chief hippopotamus caretaker at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. In order to complete her paperwork on the endangered hippo species, she must weigh the hippos. The only scale big enough to weigh a hippo is a truck scale that starts at 350 kilograms – far more than any of the hippos weighs. So, she decides to weigh every possible pair and will figure out the weights of the individual hippos later. She measures the weights pair by pair, getting 362, 516, 406, 428, and 494. As she tries to weigh the heaviest pair of hippos, the scale breaks.
What are the weights of all the individual hippos? What is the weight of the heaviest pair of hippos? Use two different methods to solve this problem (one method must be algebraic). DO NOT USE THE INTERNET FOR THE SOLUTION, that’s cheating!
