1. Two earthworms...
Two earthworms competing in the furthest slither competition recorded the following distances.
Which earthworm travelled the longest distance?
Justify your answer.
2. The first official...
The first official measured the distance travelled by each earthworm in metres as shown in the table below. If a second official measured each of the distances in centimetres, how many centimetres did each earthworm travel?
Be sure to justify your thinking by using mathematical models.
3. A second official decides to...
The officials also gave the hares an opportunity to jump a second time. The prize will be awarded to the hare with the longest of their two jumps combined.
After adding the first and second attempt together, rank the hares in order from first to fourth.
Be sure to justify your thinking by using mathematical models.
