Column I
How many pairs of shoes do you own? Count all shoes (flip flops, sandals, boots, etc.).
Example: Bob owns 14 pair. / Column II
How much does one pair of shoes weigh, in ounces?
Example: One pair weighs 24 ounces. / Column III
Calculate the weight of all of your shoes in ounces, then in pounds.
Round to the nearest whole number.
Show your calculations.
Example 24 ounces x 14 = 336 ounces.
336/16 = 21 pounds. / Column II
In your small group, find out how many pairs each of you owns. Then add the numbers for a total number owned.
Show your calculation.
Example:
If Bob owns 14 pair, Sally owns 18 and David owns 8, the total number the three own 40. (14 + 18 + 8 = 40) / Column III
Determine the averagenumber of shoes owned in your small group. Please round to the nearest whole number. Show your calculation.
Example:
If Bob, Sally and David own 40 pair of shoes and we divide that number by three (40/3), the average number owned is 13.
