7 molds 5 days Summer learning journey

Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mold. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mold to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mold one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mold from the classroom? On your blog, tell us how you would solve this tricky math problem. Be sure to also post your final answer in days or weeks.

Well if there are 7 different molds to remove and each of them take 5 days to do so you will need to times the 7 molds by 5 days. If we take 2 and put it in an equation it would look like this 7 x 2 and 7 x 2 would equal 14. Since we took away 2 from the 5 days you would only have 3 days left for each of the 7 different molds. If we had 3 days to remove 7 molds we would have to times 3 and 7 witch would look like this in a math equation ( 3 x 7 ). The answer to that would equal 21. Now I have to add up the numbers I got, so 21 plus 14 would equal 35 and in days and weeks that would be exactly 5 weeks.

    Congratulations on completing another Summer Learning Journey post! Did you know there is only two days left of the programme? It’s gone by so fast! The programme finishes on the 25th of January @ 12pm.

    Mould can be a tricky situation as It can also make people sick! You are right! Thank you for also taking the time to show your working out. I can clearly see that you have split the working out to make it (7x2) and (7x3) then you added the two answers together. Well done!

    Keep up the awesome work!

    Blog you later!
