Worth Your Weight?



15 comments:

  1. I am worth 3,040,000 dollars. I did 16x2 which came out as 32. Then I multiplied the 32 by 95 which came out as 3,040 now the fact that I needed to add three more zeros my total amount in money would be about three million dollars which I believe would end up being around 190,00 pieces or bricks of gold. Knowing this would help me out because when my dad says he will give me to the gypsies I can say" Dad unless the gypsies have three million dollars laying around then they can buy me." Then I would explain to him how I got these numbers and now we know my value.

  2. I think I am worth 14,000 dollars because I am 14 years old. I think I wouldn't be worth it because I am good at things. I was 14,000 dollars worth in gold. I wonder if this was real in the 1800's when there were slaves. If they could sell people they won't even have to work on the field but if it depends on how old and healthy or not. If they just had a ton of kids they would have a lot of money if they waited to grow up. I don't think someone would sell me but that is how much I would cost.

  3. I personally do not think that people are actually worth their weight in gold because some people weigh more than others, as in some people could have 80% of their body mass in fat and others have like less than 10% of fat in their body mass. So I think that some people are defiantly worth way less than their weight in gold. If this equation was true I would be worth $3.68 Million. I personally think that nobody is worth any money because you should not sell people, people are priceless. Like Joe said I wounder if this equation was the equivalency of how they priced slaves.

  4. I think that i would be worth a lot of money but I am not worth the same in gold. I think that the average person is about 1 million dollars in gold. I think that this is a good Question. I think that I am about 3.9 million dollars in gold. I think that the gold should be higher in value. It seems pretty cheap and like anyone could buy it. There are many different answers from how much you weigh or how much you think you are. I have to say that this is a hard DQ but it is fun at the same time

  5. I think I will have to agree with Austen on this one. I think that it probably would work, because somebody could be really light, and somebody else could weigh a lot more. The light person could be really nice, but not be worth a lot of money. A person weighing a lot more could be mean, and then be worth a ton. I think if we were worth something, it would probably have to be based on how we act. Also, like Austen said, I don't think that people are worth any money, because you can't go off selling your child. That would basically be slavery.

  6. I agree with Austen and Whyatt. Imagine if wew were all slaves and it was way back in the olden days the prices we are finding out now would be quite accurate. Unless their was a really over weight person then no one would pay a lot for him or her because the slaves that were worth the most were usually strong and young not over weight. Well I have no idea where I am going with this DQ at all.

  7. Well actually, no one is worth not a single dime nor all of the money in the world. No one is worth any amount of gold nor worth everything in the world, your mother would never say you are worth money.

    1. She would probably say that you are priceless, that no amount of money could convince her to sell you.
