For maths we are blogging about one of the past problems and how we learnt it.
Problem 1:
It’s 5km from Jordan’s whare to where his Koro lives. It’s uphill on the way there so he can only cycle at 10kph but he can do 20kph on the way back.
Jordan leaves his whare at 6pm. How long can he stop at his Koro’s whare if he wants to be back home for his favourite TV programme at 7pm?
This was one of the problems that got too me and took some time for me to figure out.
I learnt the technique to this problem.
Problem 3:
Light travels at 3.00 x 108 m per second
The radius of the Earth is 6.37 x 106 m
How many times can light travel around the earth in 1 second? (if it didn’t have to travel in straight lines)
This problem was very difficult for me and it took me a very long time to solve this, I find this problem pretty hard.
This problem was difficult for me and still is.
