2 adults and 2 kids go on a trip and 1 adult or 2 kids can fit on the canoe. How do they all get to the other side.
2 kids row across, one rows back. Adult rows across and kid rows back. (Repeat)
damon has 4 times as many stamps as julia. julia has 4 times as many stamps as claire. claire has 4 stamps. write the number of stamps damon has in both exponentail form and standard form.
Let's name everyone. Kid 1 and Kid 2, Adult B and Adult C. We'll call the "other side" point B and the starting side point A.
1. Kid 1 and Kid 2 gets on the canoe and rows to point B, Kid 2 gets off, Kid 1 takes the canoe and rows back to point A.
2. Kid 1 gets off, Adult B gets on rows to point B, Kid 2 gets on and rows back to point A.
3. Kid 1 and Kid 2 gets on from point A, goes to point B, Kid 2 gets off, Kid 1 rows back to point A.
4. Kid 1 gets off, Adult C rows to Point B, Adult C gets off, Kid 2 gets on, rows to Point A, picks up Kid 1 and they both row back to Point B.
Tada! There you have it! :)
To figure out how 2 adults and 2 kids can all get to the other side of the trip using a canoe, let's break it down step by step:
1. Both adults row together to the other side, while leaving the kids behind on the starting side.
2. One adult rows back alone to the starting side.
3. The adult who rowed back takes one of the kids and rows to the other side, leaving the kid there and going back alone.
4. The adult who returned rows the other kid across to the other side.
5. Finally, the adult who just rowed across takes the canoe back to the starting side to pick up the second adult.
This series of steps allows all 2 adults and 2 kids to cross to the other side. The key is to ensure that one adult always stays on the same side as the kids to watch over them and that the canoe is available for travel in both directions.
