I know you all don’t like math very much, but in order to keep up my accreditation as an online home schooling resource, I am supposed to include an easy story problem every now and then.
This photo of a crowd, which looks like Times Square, in fact shows folks trout fishing on a frozen river. More than a million people attend this festival, so let’s see. A million, at an average 140 pounds each, all drilling holes through ice about this thick, throw in some global warming, carry the four, divide by 32 degrees…
Okay, got it. How many minutes until this river looks like a pitcher of frozen daiquiris, with a million icy blue people screaming and some trout laughing their fins off?
