Math POW # 2 - Problem of the Week

Problem B (level)

Canadian Hero

Due Thurs., Sept. 26th

Carefully read the question below.  Highlight the key information.  Answer each question and show the operations you used to figure out your answers. For example - 5 374km/ 42 km = _______km

Remember to include the question in your written answer.  For example - a) It would take Terry _____ days, at the rate of 42 km each day, to cover the total distance (5 374km) he ran.

In 1980, Terry Fox ran about 3 339 miles (5 374 km) across Canada during his

Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research.

a) Each day he tried to run a marathon, which is 42 km. At this rate, how

many days would it take to cover the total distance he ran?

b) His run ended in Thunder Bay, Ontario after 143 days. Was he able to run a

marathon a day, as he had hoped?

c) By 2012, 500 million dollars had been raised in Terry's name. How many

dollars is that for each km that he ran?

d) Count the number of strides it takes you to run 10 m. Using this

information, determine how many steps it would take you to run the same

total distance as Terry ran.

[Remember that he did the whole run with an artifcial leg!]
