Let’s imagine that the average adult can lift 25 kg and the average child can lift 15 kg. How many adults and children will it take to move the giant squid into its new room at Te Papa? [Note: There is more than one right answer to this question.]

For my answer I never used any kids I just used adults for this math's problem. Since each adult can lift 25 kgs I did 25 x 20 = 500. I also used the algorithm strategy for the one below.
AND.....
25 + 25 + 25 +25 +25 +25 +25 +25 +25 +25 = 250
+25 +25 +25 +25 +25 +25 +25 +25 +25 +25 = 250
250 + 250 = 500
