Hi guys this is the Problem of the Week for you to solve.
Solution
Current Points Earned
First 5 Events: 6.8 average
6.8 x 5= 34
Next 3 Events: 7.2 Average
7.2 x 3= 21.6
Total points Earned through 8 events= 21.6+34=55.6
Willy has earned 55.6 points in 8 events
Points left to Earn
75-55.6= 19.4
Willy has to earn 19.4 points through the last two events in order to have 75 points.
19.4/2=9.7
In order to have 75 points he must average 9.7 points, a near perfect, over the final 2 events.

Math Problem of the Week- Pushy Pushy
Hey guys here's another math problem for you guys to solve
Solution
Powerful-Riding Motor
Manny used the PRM for 90% of the time. This means we have to find 90% of 70 minutes, because it takes 70 minutes to cut the entire lawn using the PRM.
90% x 70= 63
So it took 63 minutes to cut 90% of the lawn.
Push Mower
Manny used the push mower to mow 10% of the lawn. It takes 5 hours or 300 minutes to mow the whole lawn using the push mower. So we need to find 10% of 300.
10% x 300= 30
It took 30 minutes to mow the last 10% of the lawn.
Total
63(90%)+30(10%)=93
It took Manny 93 minutes or 1 hour and 33 minutes to mow the entire lawn.

Math Problem
Once again we have to analyze the pattern. The number in the middle, is the product of the bottom two numbers being multiplied then added to the top number.
example: 3*7+1=22
8*5+3=43
the "?" is 43
Math Problem
Here's Another one to test your minds.
In this one we have to analyze the pattern. Each watch adds 42 minutes, from the previous times.
Therefore the watch with the "?" should be showing 5:19

Math Problem
I'm back this week with another Math Problem. View it below.
I can infer that since both sentences, have the same answer, it will most likely be consecutive numbers. Let's experiment with 1 2 and 3 because when added they equal 6, and when 2 and 3 are multiplied they equal 6, and 1 makes no difference to that.
1+2+3=6
1*2*3=6
the numbers 1 2 and 3 work
A=1
B=2
C=3
Z=6

Art review
Hi everyone, today I will be reviewing this piece of art. As you can see it is a picture of a sculpture of a Canadian soldier mounted on a rock and he is holding a cross that reads "Flanders Fields"
Review
This piece of art is by famous sculptor Emanuel Hanh (1881-1957). It was created by Hanh in 1921. Emmanuel Hanh is famous for his work on WWII. Mr.Hanh's work has graced many war memorials. Emanuel Hanh was also a coin designer.
I think most people saw this picture as the most boring of the three, because it was just a statue, while the others were filled with graffiti and interesting paintings. But I found this piece of art very intriguing. In the picture the soldier is holding a cross, which reads "in Flanders Fields" Which is obviously a reference towards the famous poem written about Flanders Fields. This memorial is located in Westville, British Columbia.
This statue was made to honour the sacrifices made by the noble soldiers who fought in World War I. It is made of Bronze, which was a very expensive material at the time. I think Hanh chose Bronze, instead of the usual marble or stone, is because he thought the soldier's sacrifices were worth the price.
That makes this memorial much more special because you realize that, this wasn't just another sculpture, Hanh put a lot of effort and heart into building this statue. Though Mr. Hanh is the creator of many different memorials, this is his only monument that is personally signed by him, which may send the message that this is personal favorite monument.
In Conclusion, Emanuel Hanh's famous Westville monument is a tremendous work of art and can never be replicated. The way in which Mr. Hanh exhibits his feelings, through the little things, like the material of the statue, portrays the bigger picture behind this. Some artists and critics have gone far enough to say that this is the best war monument in Canada. I think it's definitely up there.
Problem of the Week
Hi guys, today I'm back with another problem of the week. This one is titled "Tunnel Vision"
The first thing we need to do is convert the meters into km, because the question asks for km/h.
Train's length: 1000m=1km
Length of tunnel: 3000m=3km
Now the train's length is 1 km and the tunnels length is 3km
Now we have to subtract the train's length from the tunnel's length to determine how much kilometers there are still left to travel.
3km-1km= 2km
The train still has 2 km left to travel.
To find how long it takes the train to travel 1 km we must divide 30 by 2
30/2=15 which means that it take 15 seconds to travel 1 km.
Now we need to find the km/h
There are 3600 seconds in one hour, so we need to divide 3600/15 and multiply the quotient by 1km
3600/15=240
240*1km=240 km
The train travels 240 km/3600 s or 240 km/h
Going back to the original question, which was "Determine the speed of the train, in kilometres per hour.The train travels 240 km/h
