Spring is here (at least on
the calendar) and that means time to fly a kite. The wind was blowing
hard and I noticed that I was letting out 5 feet of string every time a gust
of wind came by. How many gusts of wind were needed to use up a 100
ft. reel of string?
Show your work. Hint: Draw a picture.
For 4th and 5th graders: If each gust of wind came by every 3 minutes, how long would it take to use up the reel of string?
