Facebook Math Challenge

March23

Recently on Facebook the math problem below has been bouncing around. 

Safari001

 

It has been very interesting to see the different comments and see the passion behind the answers given. The debate is heated and each person believes that they are correct and waste no time in defending their reasoning and every defense has to do with PEMDAS.

There is a correct answer. Which one is it? Defend why you believe your answer is the correct answer?

After our Hour of Power last Friday I had 157 comments to sort through on our blog. On a normal week, I would have about 80 comments. What is the percent of increase in comments this last week? How did you find your solution?

Double Dog Dare

While at the math conference in Las Vegas last week we did a scale activity. We started by building the small dog and then we were told to scale the dog by a certain amount to create a larger version.  I took pictures of our creation to share with you. 🙂

How many times bigger is our large dog than our small dog? How do you know?

Those of you who would like some extra credit, tell me the volume of the little dog and the volume of the large dog and write the volume in a ratio of little:large. Explain how you found your ratio too!

Coffee Cup Dilemma

 ***Click on the picture to see a larger version.***

While I was waiting for Roni to finish rehearsals today, I stopped by a nearby Starbucks. I needed to buy a new travel coffee mug and they had many to choose from.  I finally narrowed the search down the two cups pictured above. The larger cup holds 12 ounces of yummy coffee and the smaller cup holds 8 ounces of yummy coffee. Please help me decide which coffee cup to buy by giving me one really great mathematical statement! Your statement should justify the reason you want me to buy the cup you choose. 🙂 

***MAKE SURE YOUR ANSWER IS UNIQUE!***

The above pictures shows the current medal count as of 2/16/14. Use this data to give me 3 pieces of information. Be sure to tell me what math you used to solve your problems. YOU MAY NOT GIVE ME ANY DATA THAT IS IN THE CHART! YOU MUST USE MATH TO CONVERT THE DATA INTO A DIFFERENT FORM!

Wow! She’s fast!!!!

Watch the video below and then answer the question below it.

At the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Claudia Pechstein from Germany won the gold medal and set the record in the Women’s 3000m Speed Skating competition with a time of 3:57.70. 

The only American to win a medal in the 3000m Speed Skating event since 1976 was Beth Heiden. She won the Bronze Medal at the 1980 Lake Placid games with a time of 4:33.77. 

Use math to tell me three pieces of information you figured out about these two speed skaters. Remember to explain how you found the information you are sharing. 🙂 

Big Bang!

Boiling Point

January26

The boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level. However, the boiling point temperature decreases about 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 500 feet in altitude. At this rate, what is the boiling point of water in Reno, NV if Reno’s altitude is 4400 feet above sea level? Write an equation that can be used for any city’s altitude using “b” for the boiling point and A for the city’s altitude.

Mr. Scozz bought a bike for $20. After a few days, he decided he did not want the bike and sold it for $30. He regretted selling the bike and bought it back for $40. His friend offered to buy the bike so Mr. Scozz sold it for $50. Again, he decided he really needed the bike and bought it back for $60. A week later he sold the bike again, this time for $70. Did Mr. Scozz make money or lose money on this bike?

Math Maggie-Black Friday

December1

Safari001

Dear Math Maggie,

I went shopping on Black Friday and got some really great deals on Christmas presents. One of the deals was on a flatscreen TV from Target.  The original price of the TV was $799 and it was marked down 30% for Black Friday. Before sales tax, the TV rang up at $639.20. It was a crazy night and I am unsure whether I actually received my 30% discount on the TV. Was I ripped off or did I get the deal that was advertised?

Sincerely,

Black Friday Shop-a-holic

Dear Math Maggie,

I am trying to figure out seating for Thanksgiving dinner this week and I need some help. I have 40 guests coming to dinner and I want them to sit at one long table. Each of the tables I have can sit 3 people on each side and 2 people on each end. How many tables am I going to need to sit all 40 people?

Sincerely,

Tricky Turkey Table
