Math Daddy problem of the day: at a rate of 5 inches per step, the baby covered the distance of 20 ft. how many steps does that equal? her rate of travel is 5in/1 = 20ft/x . 12in per ft, so 20*12= 240
so 5/1 = 240/x cross multiply and get 5x=240, divide both sides by 5 and x=48
you then divide x by 2 and that gets how many steps Marlo took with her left foot after she stepped in poopoo.
so a total of 24 steps I have to clean from the living room into the dining area (the lighting is low so it's hard to see exactly where).
So if you think you're done with math after high school and college... think again.
