Activity 3:

Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?

The question is asked how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?  They found 7 different kind of moulds and it takes 5 days for the mould to be removed.

My answer - 7 x 5 = it would take 35 days to remove all the mould from the classroom.
