This is clearly an important issue to students, and the data collected proves this point. 79.3% of 6th graders replied that their backpack was 11 to 20 pounds, meaning that if our backpacks were in the healthy weight range, 79.3% of us would have to be 110 to 200 pounds, and The average weight of a 6th grader is around 80 pounds, 30 pounds short of what the majority of backpacks require in our grade, as opposed to the 20.7% of students who\u2019s backpacks fall into the 1-10 pound range. If the average 6th grader is 80 pounds, we should have our backpacks under 8 pounds. A chromebook weighs 4 pounds, and case its weigh 3. Mr. Rich will buy a ice cream bar for the person who submits a solution that brings the backpacks under 8 pounds, including the chromebook, and at least 2 books\/ pencil box.
