Spanish Weekly Challenge 3

This week's challenge (only for my Spanish students) is a bit different than the other two challenges. This is going to make your brain draw information from two of your current subject areas: Spanish and...MATH. I will give you three math problems. You must figure them out, but then you must give me the answer to them in Spanish. You must both have the correct answer and use the correct Spanish words for that answer.


This Spanish Challenge is due by the end of the day on Sunday. Good luck.

1. Corinne's group was responsible for painting windows on the set of a school play. The group painted 18 windows in 90 minutes. If they continued painting at this rate, how many windows would they paint in 3 hours?



2. Linda bought 2 blouses for a total of $52 and 3 equally priced dresses. She spent a total of $148, not including tax. Find the price of each dress.

3. At a spring band concert, a prize was awarded to the person sitting in the chair numbered with the least common multiple of 12, 15, and 30. Find the number of the prize winning chair.
