Hello again Giovanni, thank you for solving this Cacti maths problem, and correctly might I add!
ReplyDeleteHow did you manage to solve it? What strategy did you use?
I broke 365 down into 300, 60 and 5. Then I multiplied each of the three numbers by 3.
This gave me 900, 180 and 15.
After that, all you have to do is add them together.
So how much water would a cactus need over the course of 15 years?
Thanks, Billy.
Hi Giovanni,
ReplyDeleteGood job on getting the math problem correct. I got the same answer. I like how you have added cacti problem and cacti answer. Have you ever touched cacti?
Keep it up!
Hi Giovanni,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on completing this activity! I liked how you explained your answer and the process for getting it really clearly. I also liked how you explained what you needed to do for this task well. Now that you know how much water it takes for a cactus, would you want to have one?
