Math Challenge December 11


The top (visible) 1/3 of Plymouth Rock weighs approximately 4 tons. The bottom portion (under the sand) weighs approximately 6 tons. The Rock as it exists today is estimated to be only about 1/3 to 1/2 of its original size.
Assuming the rock is 1/3 of the original size, how big was it when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock?
