Thank you to all of you who took part in the 2nd word problem challenge. I need to apologize for the fact that I have been a little delayed with my updates. It has been a hectic couple of weeks and there is more to come. Therefore, I am going to allow TWO WEEKS for each problem. I will post the next challenge later this week, so please check back.
The correct answer to the word problem was 515 mg. You really needed to read the problem carefully to determine the amount of calories burned. Once you found the total for the three days, you then divided by 6 because I lost 1 mg for every 6 calories burned. Did anyone remember the divisibility rule for six? Just a refresher: If a number is divisible by 2 and has a digital root of 3,6, or 9, then it is divisible by 6. Here are the students who solved the problem correctly:
* Steven Mason
* Julia Moody
* Charlie Mahanes
* Richard Cummins
I have just written the names on individual slips of paper and dropped them in a plastic cup. I am going to close my eyes and draw out a name. The winner is . . .
STEVEN MASON!!!! Congrats Steven. Your prize will be mailed soon. Oh and Woodson Weathersby, I haven't forgotten about your prize. I am mailing it tomorrow. Sorry about the delay. Have a great day!!
