Problem of the week

What I know

Manny Kerr  runs a company that specializes in grooming and caring for lawns

Manny has a push mower and powerful riding mower

At one location takes 5 hours with mower

Takes 70 minutes with powerful riding mower

After 90% was cut using the rest was cut with powerful riding mower

How many minutes did it take for Manny to cut the entire lawn

Solution

We need to find 90% of 70 
0.9 x 70 = 63 minutes for power riding mower to mow the 90% of the lawn 
Takes 5 hours with mower to mow entire lawn so into minutes is 5 x 60 = 300 
Takes 300 minutes for mower to mow entire lawn
We need to find 10% of mower 300 divided by 10 = 30
So add them 30 + 63 = 93
So it would altogether take 93 minutes to mow 90% with power mower and 10% with mower

    Speech introduction

    Why video games are good for you


    Video games are played by millions of different people all over the world because they are fun and entertaining. Many people nowadays fall into believing the myth that videogames are bad for you, which is wrong. I love video games and so do many other people, and I think we should be able to keep playing them because Video games can actually benefit you in many ways, such as improving reaction time, making you smarter, and strengthen some of your muscles. They teach us lessons which we face in real life in a entertaining way. Not only are video games entertaining but they are actually beneficial which is why we should all continue playing video games.
