if one elastic band holds 1800g, how many elastic bands would you need to suspend a 80kg adult?
1800g = 1.8kg
How many 1.8 kg are in 80 kg?
OK, sorry Jim. This post had a different name so I didn't realize it was the same question!

To answer this question, we need to calculate the number of elastic bands required to support the weight of an 80kg adult.
First, let's convert the weight of the adult to grams since the weight of the elastic band is given in grams.
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
Therefore, the weight of the adult in grams would be:
80 kg * 1000 g/kg = 80,000 grams
Now, knowing that one elastic band holds 1800g, we can divide the weight of the adult by the weight held by one elastic band to find the number of elastic bands needed.
Number of elastic bands needed = Weight of adult / Weight held by one elastic band
Number of elastic bands = 80,000g / 1800g
Using simple division:
Number of elastic bands = 44.44
However, we cannot have a fraction of an elastic band, so we need to round up to the nearest whole number since we cannot have a partial elastic band.
Therefore, you would need 45 elastic bands to suspend an 80kg adult.
