Tuesday Interesting Kid Trivia/Math Problem: Milk

9 02 2010

Yesterday, in one sitting, 22 pound son Foster dranks a cup of milk (8 oz – along with regular solid food). This is not uncommon for him nor is it uncommon for a typical 14 month old, which he is.

If I were to drink a comparable amount of milk, I would have to drink a half gallon plus a pint.

I figured this out comparing my weight to his. Here’s your homework:

1. How much do I weigh?

2. What interesting my-weight-to-Foster’s-weight factor currently exists?

A ratio of weight to age suggests I “should” weigh 75 lbs. 22/14 = 75/48. However, I weigh “somewhat” more than this.

1. You weigh 220 lb
2. You are exactly 10 times the weight of Foster.
