Problem of the Week (Mar 4-Mar 8)

Mar 4, 2019

Happy Monday everyone!  I'm a day later than usual getting out the problem of the week but better late than never!  Students, don't forget to have your answer submitted to me by Sunday.

Grade 1-3:

Question: A small box contains 1 dozen cookies. A large box contains 2 dozen cookies. How many cookies are in 3 small boxes and 2 large boxes?

Grade 4-6:

Question: There are 6 oranges per kilogram on average. Each kilogram of oranges produces 150 millilitres of orange juice. If Emma picks 120 from an orange tree, how many cups of orange juice can she squeeze from them?

Grade 7-9:

Question: Violins are measured in “fractional” sizes, which are not literal measurements of their proportions. The body of a full-size violin is 351/2 centimetres long. The body half-size violin is 32 centimetres long. By what fractional part would the body of the half size violin need to decrease in length in order to be literally half the length of a full size violin?

Grade 10-12:

Question: Rachel starts her math test at 2:05 pm. She finishes the test at 2:47 pm. How many degrees does the minute hand of the clock on the wall in Rachel’s math classroom rotate as Rachel is taking her test?
