Mrs. Johnson buys 2 chickens. The average weight of the 2 chickens is 4 pounds. One of the chickens is 2 pounds heavier. What is the weight of the heaviest chicken?

The heaviest chicken would actually be 4 pounds. Since the average of both chickens is 4, that means they had to do the weight of the chickens added together than divided by two. The only one that would work is 2. So then you add 2 to that and it would be four.

Heaviest chicken is 6 pounds
