Mr. Champion's Math Challenge #2 (June 22nd - June 29th)
Here is the problem for this week. Sorry it took me so long to post it. Just do your best to solve it and then email with me with the answer and an explanation of how you solved it. You may email me at championmathchallenge@yahoo.com. Good luck.
Problem:
Mr. Champion went running three days in a row. The first day he burned 618 calories. The second day he burned half as much as the first day. On the third day he burned 7 times as many as the second day. If he loses a milligram (mg) for every 6 calories burned, how many milligrams did he lose in those three days?

Champion Word Problem Challenge #1 Update
Hello all,
Thanks to those kids that took the time to try to answer last week's problem. The correct answer was 28 yard. First you multiplied the elapsed time between tides (6 hours) and multiplied it times 14 feet per hour and you would get a product of 84. Then to convert from feet to yards you would divide by 3 because there are 3 feet in a yard. 84 divided by 3 is going to work out evenly because the digital root of 84 is 3 which means that 84 is divisible by 3. 84 divided by 3 equals 28. Therefore the tide moved 28 yards. Here are the people who qualified for the drawing this week:
* Derrick
* Woodson
* Julia
* Neely
* Polly
* Jack
AND THE WINNER FOR THIS WEEK IS . . . WOODSON!! Congrats to Woodson. Your small prize will be coming your way in the mail soon. I will be posting a new problem tomorrow afternoon. Be sure to look out for it. Encourage your friends to take part as well. Have a great week! I miss you guys!

Problem:
Mr. Champion went to the beach last week. On Tuesday, the morning low tide was at 3:30 AM and the morning high tide was at 9:30 AM. If the tide moved up at a rate of 14 feet per hour, how many yards did the tide move between low and high tide?
