Activity 3: Flying Fungi [10 points]
On your blog, tell us how you would solve this tricky maths problem. Be sure to also post your final answer in days or weeks.
It would take 35 days or 5 weeks. How I got the answer was I timed 5 with 7 and it equaled 35 and thats how I got the days. After that I divided 35 days with 7 because there are 7 days in a week and it equaled 5 and thats how I got my weeks.
Hi Christopher,
ReplyDeleteGreat job completing this activity. It was interesting to find out that bumblebees store lots of food o their bodies, it certainly explains why they are so round! Also, I think that it's a pity that you would get rid of tuna, especially since it is one of my favourite foods! It was also good too see that you worked out the problem for how many weeks as well as how many days, keep it up!
