Overview of the Final Day Problem Solving Games

The Final Warm Up • Alababa, Bubba, Cory, and Dandy are in a horse race. Bubba is the slowest, Cory is faster than Alababa but slower than Dandy. Name the finishing order of the horses.

Problem Solving • A 12 foot surfboard is painted with two stripes so the board is separated into 3 sections. • Where would you place the two stripes if they divide the board into two sections that are equal and one section that is 6 inches longer?

The Next to Last Final Problem We have a Bradford Pear tree in our backyard. During the night, one large branch broke off and landed on the ground. Chuck had to cut the tree branch into smaller pieces so Waste Management would pick up the branch for recycling. Waste management also will only accept branches that are cut into 2 foot pieces. The branch that fell was 14 foot long. How many cuts did he make?

The Final Problem Solving The outer side of my back patio is 30 feet long. We would like some privacy so we are going to put in some shrubs. If we place the shrubs every 5 feet, how many will we need? Chuck priced the shrubs and they cost $60 each. The cost for planting each shrub is half of the cost of the shrub. Tax will be 8. 25%. What is our final cost? PS…Chuck wants a shrub at the beginning and the end of the 30 foot space.
