Two people can swing on a trapeze at the same time as long as their total weight is less than 500 pounds. Joe weighs 240 pounds and is 6 feet tall. Jake weighs 250 pounds and is 32 years old. Can Joe and Jake swing on the trapeze at the same time?

A. Too little
B. Too much

Answer :

Final answer:

The problem has too little information to determine if Joe and Jake can swing on the trapeze at the same time.


Explanation:

The problem provides enough information to determine whether Joe and Jake can swing on the trapeze at the same time. The total weight of both Joe and Jake should be less than 500 pounds to swing on the trapeze together. However, the problem only provides the weight of Joe (240 pounds) and Jake (250 pounds), and does not provide the sum of their weights. Therefore, the problem has too little information.
