Answer(or question to Mentor): My answer to the current problem of the week is: 6 miles, and 3,152 feet. I got this answer by division. If there is a five second difference between the lightning and the thunder, and if the time counted was thirty two seconds, you would divide five into thirty two and get 6 and two fifths. There are 5,280 feet in a mile, and divided by five(the denominater) you have 1,576. That is a fifth of a mile. If you times that by two, you have two fifths of a mile or: 3,152. That is equal to the fraction. So the answer is 6 miles, and 3,152 feet away. P.S, Is that the measurment of the distants it is up higher than you, or just how far away it is from you at the same height?

Answer(or question to Mentor): Lindsay,
Thankyou for responding. I did try the challenge problems, but it seemed like the Problem of the Week was harder.
It was really interesting that lightning strikes that many times per second. I guess that's because thunder storms in Nashville only happen occasionally. Thanks again! :)
Audrey
