Flying Fungi - by Augustine

7 moulds found in one classroom, and the cleaner said that it would take 5 days to get one mould removed. 

1 mould = 5 days to get removed
2 moulds = 10 days to get removed
3 moulds = 15 days to get removed
4 moulds = 20 days to get removed
5 moulds = 25 days to get removed
6 moulds = 30 days to get removed
7 moulds = 35 days to get removed

For the 7 moulds to get removed, it will take 35 days.

  1. Hey Augustine

    I really like the way that you have solved this question. The way that you broke it down into sets of five days at a time until you reached seven days. Can you see any times tables that this would fit into?

    Bye for now,

  2. Hello there Izzy

    Thank you for your comment. This problem was but when I took a closer look, I had it. The time tables is by 5 because 7 moulds x 5 days = 35 days. Then I was reliefed to finish because it took me ages to figure it out.

    Thanks again for commenting
