Two great white sharks were boasting about how much they ate. Jaws said to Teeth, “I ate 98 pounds of codfish and half as much shrimp. Then I ate 44 bluefish that weighed 3 pounds each, and for dessert I had a 100-pound boat anchor.”
“That’s nothing,” said Teeth, “I gulped down an entire tuna that weighed 52 kg. Then I ate three tentacles from a giant octopus. They weighed 28 kg each. And for dessert I had a floating life-preserver, about 4 and one half kg; I would say.”
So, who ate more?
Answer
Jaws ate more than Teeth.
Jaws ate:
98.0 lbs of codfish
49.0 lbs of shrimp (98/2)
132.0 lbs of bluefish (3×44)
100.0 lbs of boat anchor
379.0 lbs TOTAL
Teeth ate:
52.0 kg of tuna
84.0 kg of octopus tentacle (3×28)
4.5 kg of life preserver
140.5 kg TOTAL
To convert pounds to kilograms, multiply by 0.45.
Jaws ate 379 lbs, or 170.55 kg, of food.
Or, to convert kilograms to pounds, multiply by 2.2.
Teeth ate 140.5 kg, or 309.1 lbs, of food.
Either way, Teeth loses.
