PROBLEM OF THE WEEK:

Correct solution and work shown can earn you a free homework pass!


A large cereal box (rectangular prism) is 10 inches wide, 12 inches high, and 3 inches deep.
A regular cereal box has 1/2 the volume of the large box. What could the dimensions of the regular cereal box be?

Be sure to explain your thinking and try your best to show your work.


**Your comment may not appear at the bottom right away - I had them e-mailed to me, so no one can see the correct answer and work until Friday morning. I wanted to make it fair. **


All posts are due by Friday morning - start of school!

I will give you props on your progress report if you do it!

Good Luck and Have FUN!! -thanks to Mrs K from Hoxsie School in Warwick for this great idea! (you can blame her LOL!)
