Today was another day full of adventure! I started my morning with a walking tour of the French Quarter and a visit to the St. Louis Cemetery. It was foggy and raining all day which just made everything creepy.
Entrance to the St. Louis Cemetery:
Nicholas Cage's FUTURE tomb. (This is a square pyramid by the way.)
The desk duck found a cupcake shop. He ate the lemon cake. He tried to convince me to buy cupcakes for the whole team but I reminded him that I have a limit to how much I can carry on the plane. If two cupcakes fit in a 6in x 6in x 4in box, how many could I pack in a standard empty carry-on?
I found a fountain for the duck to swim in while I ate a bite for lunch.
We had dinner at Emeril's. It was ridiculously yummy.
As we were walking back we realized that WWF was having wrestle-mania at the Superdome. A very kind man was happy to let me borrow his souvenir championship belt to strike a pose. (Ignore my horrible rain-ruined hairstyle!)
Here is your last math problem for the day. Today I traveled about 17,500 steps. Can anyone calculate my approximate distance in miles?
Tomorrow the teaching part of my conference begins so I may not be able to post. Keep checking back and leaving comments (and be good for the sub)!
about 7 two cupcake boxs or 14 cupcakes. in a standerd empty cary on.

i like how you added the cupcakes to math. hallie
ReplyDeletewhat was that belt made of. hallie
ReplyDeleteIf each step you take is 2 ft long and there are 5,280 ft in a mile then each mile would have 2,640 steps per mile. So if you take 17,500 steps divided by 2,640 then you would of walked 6.63 miles☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○◙♂♀♪♫☼►◄↕‼¶§

CWS on your 17500 steps question I got 3 1/3 miles and as in 1/3 mile i mean 1660 feet
ReplyDeleteThis reply is for the Duck question about the suitcase.......I figured out, that a standard suitcase is 67cm in heigth and 45 cm in width and 6x6x4 equals 144 and 67 by 45 equals 3,015, and 144 can go into 3,015 20 times maximum and 144 times 21 equals 3,024 and that is too much, so 144 times 20 equals 2,880 so you could only bring back 20 cupcakes and we have over 100 kids on the team so SORRY desk duck
ReplyDeletePS:my favorite animal is a duck and I LOVE cupcakes

17500 divided by 5280 would be about 3.31 mi. See you tommorrow!
ReplyDeleteOlivia G p.4
There are 5280 feet in a mile and one step is about one foot so you take 17500 and divide it by 5280 and you get 3.31439393939 or simplify down to 3.31 miles
