. Three children went to the fair to ride the children’s Ferris wheel. There was a toddler, a four-year-old, and a seven-year-old. The three children want to ride the Ferris wheel all together on the same seat. In front of the ride there is a sign that states: maximum weight per seat is 150 pounds. Can all three children ride the Ferris wheel on the same seat if:
• Toddler + 7 yr old weigh = 103 pounds
• Toddler + 4 yr old weigh = 77.5 pounds
• 4 yr old + 7 yr old weigh = 112.5 pounds
Please find (1) the children’s combined weight, and (2) the children’s individual weight. Explain your reasoning
