Why Do You Think Someone Offers To Give You A Million Dollars
#6:Treasure Chest
Problem: Someone offers to give you a million dollars($1,000,000) in one-dollar ($1) bills. To receive the money, you must lie down; the million one-dollar bills will be placed on your stomach.

If you keep them on your stomach for 10 minutes, the money is yours! Do you accept the offer?

Solution: Each dollar bill weighs 1 gram, if we multiply 1gram by 1,000,000 dollars we get a weight of 1,000,000 grams. If there are 454 grams in a pound then $1,000,000 will equal 2202 pounds, 2 ounces, and 29grams.
1gm x 1,000,000 =1,000,000gm
1,000,000gm/454 = 2202.64 = 2202 pounds
64gm/28=2.29 = 2ounces and 29 grams
So 1,000,000 one dollar bills will weigh 2202 pounds, 2 ounces, and 29grams

This much weight would most definitely

The sum of all those numbers is 6. What is the next number that has the property of equaling the sum of all the natural numbers?

Solution: The next number that has the property of equaling the sum of all the natural numbers that divide evenly into it is 28. The numbers 1,2,4,7,14 all divide equally onto 28. The sum of all those numbers equals 28 (1+2+4+7+14). So, 28 is the next perfect number after 6.

#15: The Last One:
Problem:Play the game using any natural numbers. If the number is even, divide it by 2. If the number is odd, triple it and then add 1. Repeat the process until you win by reaching 1. Complete the task 4 times using numbers 19,11,22, and 30.

Solution: Start with number 19. Its odd so we must triple it an add 1 (19x3+1=58). We then have the number 58 which is even so we divide it by 2 (58/2=29). Then we have 28 which is even so we divide by 2 (28/2=14). Also an even number so it will be divide by 2 (14/2=7). Then we get a odd number so we will multiply by 3 and add 1 (7x3+1=22). 22 is even so divide by 2 (22/2=11). 11 is odd so multiply by 3 and add 1 (11x3+1=34). Next we divide 34 by 2 (34/2=17). 17 will need to be multiplied by 3 and added to 1 (17x3+1=52). Dived 52 by 2 (52/2=26). Divide 26 by 2 (26/2=13). 13 is odd so it must be multiplied by 3 and then add 1 (13x3+1=40). Divide 40 by 2 (40/2=20). Divide by 2 (20/2=10). Divide by 2 (10/2=5).

#17: See the three III
Problem: What proportion of the first 10,000 natural numbers contain a 3.

Solution: So in 1-100 the numbers 3,13,23,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,43,53,63,73,83,93 all contain a 3 in them. So there are 19 numbers that contain a 3 in them in the numbers 1-100. Each group of hundreds contain 19 number threes (1-100, 200-299, 400-499, 500-599, 600-699, 700-799, 800-899, 900-999) in them except for 300-399 those have 100 numbers containing a 3.
So we have 19x9+100=171+100=271 threes in each thousand numbers.

So there are 271 numbers that contain a 3 in them in the numbers 1-1000. Each group of thousands also contain 271 number threes (1000-1999, 2000-2999, 4000-4999, 5000-5999, 6000-6999, 7000-7999, 8000-8999, 9000-9999) in them except for 3000-3999 those have 1000 numbers containing a 3.
So we have 271x9+1000= 2439+1000=3439

So in conclusion we have 3,439/10,000 or .3439 numbers that contain threes in them in the numbers

    First, I thought the answer would be forty-nine. Then, I realized my mistake and tried to think of different ways to do it. I decided to make a chart showing the remainders of the numbers two to six into multiples of seven. I then started to find a pattern. I noticed that the number two has a remainder of one every other multiple of seven, the number three has a remainder of one every two multiples, the number four has a remainder of one every three multiples, and so on. I marked a dot every time there was a remainder of one. I knew that when I had dots marked from two through seven, that would be the answer. So I set out on the long journey of calculating when there was a remainder of one until I reached a number that was all filled up.…

    Problem Statement: The POW starts off with the random 3-digit number 473 and number the problem says to arrange the digits from largest to smallest, which is 743. Then arrange the digits from smallest to largest, which is 347. The arrangement of the digits from least to greatest is subtracted from the arrangement of those same digits from greatest to least. The problem we ultimately end up doing is 473-347 and the difference is 396. The problem asks the students to continue the process of choosing a number, arranging its digits so the lowest arrangement of the digits is subtracted from the highest arrangement of the digits. The problem also asks the readers to test out the steps using 3, 4, 5, 6 and so forth and explain what they discover.…

    Throughout the 19th century and during the early 20th century, America’s working class endured hazardous and unsanitary labor conditions. After a long day of work, industrial laborers would return to their homes that offered anything but comfort. Many of the workers, especially immigrants, lived in slums, where their needs were not met and disease spread easily. It took a group of journalist called muckrakers, such as Jane Addams and Upton Sinclair, to bring attention to labor and living conditions and make a difference. President Theodore Roosevelt coined the name muckrakers, because they “raked the mud of society” by uncovering and reporting the nation’s issues. Jane Addams cofounded Hull-House, which attracted reformers that were committed to social service, challenged boss rule and the…

    I tried this again with the number 14 since it was a multiple of 7, but then I realized this would be too long of a process to do this with a different number over and over again. I thought about what I was doing and I knew that an even number wouldn’t work because they are divisible by 2. I realized that the number has to be an odd number and end with 1.

    Process: The first thing that I did is list the numbers 1-50 on a sheet of paper. I started at 1 and crossed off each number that were possible and circled the numbers that weren’t possible. It is impossible to get 1, 2, 4, and 7. It is possible to get 3, 5, and 8-50. So then I listed the number 51-100. I used the same method as I did before. It was possible to get every number from 51-100. Then I created a table to have all of the information together that shows how each number can be possible.…
