Using estimation, how many toothpicks would it take to wrap around the United States? Hint: Assume a toothpick is 2 inches and the perimeter of the US is 11,000 miles
348,480,000 toothpicks. A mile is 63360 inches so 63360*11,000 is 696,960,000 inches. Then divide by 2 for the toothpick and you get 348,480,000 toothpicks.

Robin is making eggs. According to Lara's recipe, he needs to boil them for exactly nine minutes. All he has at his disposal is a pot, water, eggs, a stove, and two sand-glasses of different capacities—one for four minutes, and one for seven. How can he use these sand-glasses to make sure that his recipe comes out perfect?
Robin should start both sand-glasses simultaneously. When the four minute one runs out, he should restart it. The seven timer will be at 4/7. He should let the seven minute timer run out and the second 4 min timer will be at 3/4. He should flip the seven and let it run until the four minute gets to 4/4 which will be 1/7. Then flip the 7 again and let it run out. The total time will be two 4's and the 1/7 to make 9.
