Feb. 11 week's POW

See assignment for today below

Name ________________________ Date ____________

Option 1: Super Tuesday (February 5, 2008 ) has passed and there is still no clear democratic leader in the race for the nomination. The county’s Super Tuesday 2008 turnout set a record with 50 percent of the 362,376 registered voters participating. Prior to 2008, the highest Super Tuesday turnout was in 1988 when 35 percent participated. If the population increased by 5 percent from 1988 to 2008, how many more voters voted in 2008 than in 1988?



Option 2: Once the primary votes are tallied, the states’ delegates are divided up based on the proportion of votes each of the “top” candidates received compared to the other “top” candidates. (“Top” candidates refers to candidates receiving at least 15% of the vote in that state.) In Arizona, Clinton had 51% of the vote and Obama had 42% of the vote. If Arizona has 56 delegates that are tied to the results of the primary, how many delegates did each candidate receive? Disregard any digits after the decimal, and express your answer as a whole number.

Option 3: How many whole numbers less than 1000 contain no 3s but at least one 2?

What does dividing tell you?

This week's POW

HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!

1. Every year on February 2nd in Punxsutawney, PA, Groundhog Phil is called upon to predict how much more winter there will be. If Phil sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter, but if he does not see his shadow spring is near. In 2006 Phil saw his shadow. If Phil’s shadow was 25 inches long (when he stands on his back legs) at the same time that a 12 foot tree cast a 15 foot shadow, how tall was Phil, in inches, in 2006?


2. Groundhog Phil’s cousin Henry lives in Moundsville with his family. At the beginning of 2006, Moundsville had a population of 2500 groundhogs but by the beginning of 2008 the population had grown to 3025 groundhogs. If the annual percentage of growth was the same in 2006 as it was in 2007, how many groundhogs lived in Moundsville at the beginning of 2007?


3. Groundhog Henry is digging a new tunnel in a flat field outside of his home. He starts by digging 3 ft straight down and then digs north 4 times the distance that he dug down. At this point Henry digs straight west for 17 ft before running into a boulder. Since he doesn’t know how big the boulder is, he backs up 1 ft and digs 3 ft straight up to the surface. How far is the end of Henry’s tunnel from the beginning of Henry’s tunnel?
