Answers week 6 - GIVE ME A SIGN
I hope you enjoyed answering the questions last week! Here are the answers to Give Me a Sign.
Step 1: The billboard is the bigger number. 20 feet is wider than 40 feet.
Step 2: 5 more of those signs.
Step 3: 42 more feet.
Step 5: 9 x 12 = 108 inches, or 9 feet!
Step 6: The billboard would be wider if leaned up against the house – 48 feet vs. 39 feet (15+6+18).
Step 8: It’s 25 by 16 feet. We know that the width and height have to add to 41, since those two sides will use up half the lights. Those same two numbers also multiply out to 400. You can use trial and error to test the factors of 400 numbers: 40 by 10 doesn't work, nor does 20 by 20, but 16 by 25 does.

Answers week 5 SINK OR SWIM
I hope you enjoyed answering the questions last week! Here are the answers to Sink or Swim.
Step 1: Different for everyone – subtract your family size from 9. If you have more than 9 family members, you’ll have to grab a second room and subtract from 18!
Step 2: 2 x 100 = or 100 + 100 = ; 200 yards long.
Step 3: 200 x 3 = ; 600 feet – more than 1/10th of a mile, or about two city blocks.
Step 5: 2,000 x 12= ; 24,000 tons.
Step 6: 50,000 divided by 2 OR 50,000 x 1/2; 25,000 meals, since it’s half of the 60-day time period.

Week 4 - July 28
The Real Scoop
Read this:
July is National Ice Cream Month, begun by President Reagan in 1984. Ice cream, or “iced cream” as they called it back in George Washington’s time, has actually been around a lot longer than that: even 2,400 years ago the Romans would take ice that they schlepped down from the mountains (since they didn’t have fridges or freezers) and mix it with fruit. Thanks to electricity, getting ice cream is a lot easier now, and we can focus on the really important stuff – like what flavors go together best on a cone, and whether gummy bears will stick without sliding off.
