Hi, guys today in Maths we started on a new problem solver. Last week we did one on arrow boards, we had to make something to explain how we solved the problem and now we have to do the same thing but just with the equation, we got today. The question was Moana set her digital watch at 13:00:00 on the last day of April, Unfortunately, the watch loses 11 seconds a day, What is the time on Moana's watch when it is 13:00:00 on the last day of May. I and Carla worked together on the problem, we decided it would be the best thing to figure out how many days were in may, may has 31 days in it, but since she set it on the last day of April it would count as one more day on 31, which means we have 32 days. We then worked our 32x11 and we got 352, this was useless but we still did it anyway. Carla worked out that over 7 days she will lose 1 minute and 17 seconds. We also decided that it would be better to find out how many weeks were in May and there are 4 weeks. We then did 7x4 and worked it out which is 28. We then figured out the time which we found out it was 5 minutes and 8 seconds. The ending time will be 12:54:52.
