Problem of The Week: Grade 5

An Almost Clean Sweep

 In July, Minh’s family spends the month at their cottage. On July 1 st, Minh swept up 80 g of sand. a) If Minh continues sweeping up 80 g of sand each day, how many kg of sand will Minh sweep up after 7 days?

 b) How much sand, in kg, will Minh sweep up by the end of July?

 c) Actually, Minh’s broom is faulty. Alas, about a tenth of the sand ends up unswept. How much sand in total will Minh sweep up over the family’s month at the cottage?
