Here are some optional math problems that will help prepare you for Monday's quiz.
1. The article "Don't forget about Dadaab" shared information about the challenges of feeding refugees. One thing we learned is that one child can be fed for a whole month for $10. The average monthly food footprint of the children in Room 103 is $95. How many child residents of Dadaab could be fed for the same cost as our average food footprint?
2. The Air Canada Centre can hold 19,800 people. If each school that attends brings the same number of students as we do (12), how many different schools could attend We Day from across Ontario?
3. In learning about child labour, we discovered that Ecuador produces approximately 30% of the world's bananas. About 300 tonnes of bananas are produced worldwide every year. Without using a calculator, find out roughly how many tonnes of bananas Ecuador produces each year? Explain your method.
