Problem of the Week-$$$

Michael, you are the winner of our last problem of the week. Instead of candy for a prize, you will be paid $50 in Planet Smith Bucks! Congratulations!

Here is the new problem (perhaps this incentive will get more people answering it):

Frog Fun:

Little green frogs can catch 3 flies in one hour and Big Bull frogs can grab 8 flies each hour. In an average day, Big Bull frogs sleep 18 hours per day and little green frogs only need to sleep 7 hours per day. Based on this information, answer the following two questions:

1. After 3 full days, who can catch more flies, the Big Bull Frog or the little green frog?

2. How many more flies did that frog catch after 3 days?

5 comments:

  1. 1. little frog catches more
    2. little frog has 153 flies
    big frog has 144 flies
    little frog catches 9 more flies
