Activity 3: Weird and Wonderful [10 points]
New Zealand is just one of many countries that has amazing plants and trees. In fact, the African desert is home to some pretty incredible plants, like the cactus. Some cacti are able to survive on as little as 3 millilitres (ml) of water a day. Wow!
Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.
Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?
On your blog, tell us how to solve this maths problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image, or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer in millilitres (ml)
1095ml’s Because If you had to pour 3mls of water on a catus for one year and there is 365 day’s in a year so we have to 3 times the 365 so it will be 3 x 365= and the ansure is 1095
Hi Mason
ReplyDeleteWell done on solving this problem. It was a tricky one. Did you solve it by multiplying 3x365 or did you break down the equation into smaller parts so that it was easier to solve?
Blog you later,
