Problem Description:
The image shows a worksheet titled "Celebrate the Places YOU Will Go!" with a scenario involving a kite. The task is to determine how many balloons are needed to lift a person weighing 100 pounds, given that each balloon can lift 2 pounds.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Understand the problem
- The person's weight is
100 pounds.
- Each balloon can lift
2 pounds.
- We need to calculate the number of balloons required to lift the person.
#### Step 2: Set up the equation
To find the number of balloons needed, we divide the total weight by the lifting capacity of each balloon:
\[
\text{Number of balloons} = \frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{Lifting capacity per balloon}}
\]
#### Step 3: Plug in the values
\[
\text{Number of balloons} = \frac{100 \text{ pounds}}{2 \text{ pounds/balloon}}
\]
#### Step 4: Perform the calculation
\[
\text{Number of balloons} = 50
\]
#### Step 5: Interpret the result
You need
50 balloons to lift a person weighing 100 pounds, given that each balloon can lift 2 pounds.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{50}
\]
