Question

Five pumpkins are weighed two at a time in all ten sets of two. The weights are recorded as 16, 18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 27 pounds. All individual weights are also integers. How much does each pumpkin weigh?

Answer 1

weight of all 5

= (16+18+19+20+21+22+23+24+26+27) / 4

= 216 / 4

= 54

weight of middle pumpkin

= 54 - 16 - 27

= 11 lbs

lightest pumpkin

= 18 - 11

= 7 lbs

second lightest pumpkin

= 16 - 7

= 9 lbs

heaviest pumpkin

= 26 - 11

= 15 lbs

second heaviest pumpkin

= 27 - 15

= 12 lbs

answer = 7, 9, 11, 12 and 15 pounds.
