Spring Garden Planning

Flowers

Today I started to plan my garden. The rectangular garden where I am going to plant is three feet longer than it is wide.

One third of the garden area will be sunflowers.

Another quarter will be planted with brow-eyed susans.

Only a fifth of my garden will contain columbine.

A sixth of my garden will be filled with trillium.

The rest will be foxgloves.

The Algebra and Geometry classes at Mathland Hgh School are planning to play a game of Capture the Flag in the woods behind the school. They’ve been discussing how to fairly divide the woods into two territories.

Choosing Charity

Red Cross

In the wake of the recent tsunami, a company decided to donate to a disaster relief fund. The company started by pledging a certain amount of money.

To encourage their 60 employees to make individual contributions, the company pledge to also donate an additional fixed amount for each employee who made a personal donation to the fund.

The company treasurer determined that if one-third of the employees chose to make a donation, the company’s part of the total donation would be $7000. If 50% of the employees donated, the company’s part of the total donation would be $7750.
