Maths

L.I to find the most efficient strategy to solve the problem

For this challenge we solved a question regarding  ta'ovala. Ta'ovala is a traditional Tongan  piece of clothing worn for special occasions. Our main information was that for 8 ta'ovala 12 meters of material was used, we need to find out how many meters of material would take to make 26 ta'ovala. First we found out how much material it would take to make one ta'ovala which we did by dividing 12 by 2, 6 by 2 and then 3 by 2 which gave us 1.5. After that we multiplied 1.5 x 10 two times which gave us 30, then we multiplied 1.5 x 6 and that gave us 9. Lastly we added 30 and 9 to give us our answer 39.

  1. Hi Giovanni and Vayan;
    I like your maths solution because it is very clear to understand. For your main information you're missing one more information. Your rule explains what you have to do, and your blurb explains what you did very clearly, but I think you need a little bit more in your blurb. I also think you need a photo so people know what a Ta'ovala is.
