Math Mystery #1


This map states that it will take me 15 hours and 9 minutes to drive 950.2 miles. If the average walking speed is 4 miles per hour. How long would it take me to walk to Washington DC?

Luckily, the desk-duck and I are traveling by plane, but first we have to drive to St. Louis. We plan to leave Columbia at 1:00pm. Our plane arrives in Baltimore at 8:05pm. The train from Baltimore leaves at 9:00pm and we will arrive in DC at 10:30pm. Would it have been faster to drive? (Don't forget to take into account the change in time zones.)

Answer these mystery questions and you will be rewarded!!
