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!
- Mr. C
