It takes a lot of work to keep Disneyland’s two parks looking top notch. Some of that work is making sure that all the equipment is freshly painted and looking its best. When it comes time to paint the Ferris Wheel, Disneyland maintenance crews need to use a little math to get the job done. The diameter of the Ferris Wheel is 160 feet. They need to paint both of the outside rails of wheel red. How many feet total of red paint will they be painting? Explain how you found your solution.

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!***

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. 🙂

Last week I watched my daughter in her final performance of Les Miserables. We spent all day at Sand Harbor so we needed to get something to eat while we were there. After a full day in the sun, we were really hungry. I had $32.67 to spend on food. What can I order so that the bill does not go over the amount of money I have? How much change will I get back? **Remember** I need to buy dinner for both of us!

Be sure to answer the WHOLE question with detail!
