MATHCOUNTS PROBLEM OF THE WEEK
Can you solve this MATHCOUNTS problem? The answer will appear in next week's
edition of the Friday Update!
Fairy Tales, Nursery Rhymes, and Spells
When I was going to St Ives I met a man with seven wives. Each wife had
seven sacks and each sack had seven cats. How many legs were there in the group
of people and cats that I encountered on my trip to St. Ives? Assume that no one
in the group is missing any limbs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of us know the story of Cinderella. Cinderella has an evil step-mother who
treats her like a servant. When the prince invites all of the eligible young
women to the castle for a ball (and to look for a bride) Cinderella’s
step-mother doesn’t let her go. Fortunately for Cinderella, she has a fairy
godmother who swoops in and, with the wave of her wand, turns Cinderella’s rags
into a ball gown and sends her off to meet the prince. At this point
Cinderella’s evil step-sisters are already there and standing in line to greet
the prince. How long, in minutes, did the first step-sister wait to meet the
prince if, when the line formed, 2/3 of the line was in front of her, each
greeting takes
20 seconds and there was a total 150 young women in line? Express your answer as
a decimal to the nearest tenth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Cinderella’s fairy godmother sent her off to the ball to meet the prince,
she had one stipulation: Cinderella had to leave by the stroke of midnight. By
the time Cinderella got to the castle, moved through the crowd and met the
prince, it was 10:30pm when she finally had her first dance with the prince. If
each song lasted 3.5 minutes and they danced the rest of the evening, except for
a 20-minute walk they took outside, how many songs did they dance to between
10:30pm and midnight?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the students in Harry Potter’s Spells class at Hogwarts started the year,
they knew an average of 10 spells each. Hermione knew the most, 19, and Ron knew
the least, 7. If Harry knew 12 spells, what was the average number of spells
that each of Hermione, Ron and Harry’s 21 classmates knew at the start of the
year? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.
Answer to last week’s MATHCOUNTS problem:
The formula for the volume of a
sphere is 
πr3
Since we know the diameter of the
balloon is 100 feet and the radius (r) is
of
the diameter, we know that the radius is 50 feet.
π(50)3
= 523,598.8 cubic feet
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To solve this
problem we will be using the equation rate =
.
For the first portion of the trip
we know that they traveled 120 miles at 40 mph, so we’ll plug that into the rate
equation.
40mph =
Therefore, time =
=
3 hours
For lunch they stopped for 45
minutes, which equals 
=
0.75 hours.
For the final portion of the trip
we know they traveled 175 miles at 35mph, so we’ll plug that into the rate
equation.
35mph =
Therefore, time =
=
5 hours
Now we add our times together.
3 hours + 0.75 hours + 5 hours =
8.75 hours
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To solve this
problem we’ll set up a proportion.
Now we cross multiply and solve.
(10)(81) = (3)(x)
810 = 3x
x = 270 balloons
