The English teachers are not that good either 
Surely they provided more numbers than what you’ve given us, or do you have to make the figures up yourself?
Unless you know the specific gravity of the actual beer, this question cannot be answered.

probably because my english teacher was american…
sorry boys been on couple of nights out thanks for your help .hope this pleases his teacher
I guess that the question probably read,
Q. Which load is heavier,
26 pallets stacked 8 high or
24 pallets stacked 9 high
A. (26 x 
- (24 x 9) = 8 units of weight
so the 26 pallet load is heavier
But to refine, it we need to add in the weight of the 2 extra pallets. At the risk of the teacher/examining board labelling your son as a “smartarse” he should add subject to weight of pallet < 4 units of weight
and there might be a relatavistic distortion if the truck is travelling at a speed approaching the speed of light (186000mps)

I would have thought the more common sort of question in this day an age would have been ‘How many spliffs can you get out of a gram or two of hash’? or ‘How many teenage school girls get knocked up per term behind the bike sheds in your average inner city school?’
I am not in favour of answering kids exam questions for them cos while the answer may be correct what have they actually learned … Nothing. Apart from how to cheat !
