L.I to use the most efficinet stratigies to find the answers
Since the olympics is currently happening, our maths group have 8 olympic challenges for us to complete. This challenge was about Michael Phelps and the events he competed in. Our questions were: On average, every swim stroke Michael Phelps take gets him 2 metres down the pool. Michael comped in 8 different events in the beijing olympics in 2008. In total how many metres did Michael swim for his gold medals?
FInally, how many strokes did Michael have to take in total for all o his events if Michael can propel himself 2 metres with each stroke. The strategies we used addition and division, first we added up all the metres Michael swans and then divided it by two because he advanced 2 metres down the pool.
