Question of the Day:

What is your favorite pizza type of pizza and where do you get it from?

My Turn #1: The sum of three consecutive integers is -66.  What is the number?

My Turn #2: Some states have a single area code for the entire state.  Two such states have area codes that are consecutive odd integers.  If the sum of these integers is 1208, find the two area codes. (Source: North American Numbering Plan Administrations)

• n n+1 n+2 n+3

Multiple Choice

Which of the following setups would be used to find four odd/even consecutive integers?

• n n+2 n+4 n+6

• n 2n 4n 6n

• n+1 n+2 n+3 n+4

My Turn #3: Finding Time given rate and distance

A glacier is a giant mass of rocks and ice that flows downhill like a river.  Portage Glacier in Alaska is about 6 miles, or 31,680 feet, long and moved 400 feet per year.  Icebergs are created when the front end of the glacier flows into Portage Lake.  How long does it take for ice at the head (beginning) if the glacier to reach the lake?

My Turn #4: Calculating Perimeter/Dimentions of a Rectangle

Charles can afford enough fencing to enclose a rectangular garden with a perimeter of 140 feet.  If the width of the garden must be 30 feet, find the length.

​

My Turn #5: Temperature Conversion

The average minimum temperature for July in Shanghai, China is 77°F . Find the equivalent temperature in degrees Celsius.

My Turn #6: Finding Dimensions

The length of a rectangular road sign is 2 feet less than three times its width.  Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 28 feet.
