I would write him again and say that you are sorry that you did not hear from him at all. Then, I would write out an explanation of the answer that could serve as an example of the type of explanation we are looking for. Then say that you hope he will work on the next problem, which will be posted on 11/11.
As I said in class, this is teaching! Sometimes we just don't know what is going on in the mind or life of the student, and, if there is a serious problem, I am sure the teacher is aware of it.

I am sorry that I did not hear from you at all. Here are the explanations for the problem.
Problem Solution:
A. 5.625 feet
B.1.875 feet.
A) if ¼ of the pole was buried, so ¾ of the pole was exposed. Of the exposed pole, 1/3 was covered in 2000 by the storm surge,leaving 5 feet dry. If 5 feet=2/3 of the exposed pole, then 1/3 of the exposed pole = 2.5 feet.
So 5 feet + 2.5 feet = 7.5 feet of the exposed pole. To find out how much of the exposed pole was covered in 2002, you multiplied the amount of the exposed pole, 7.5 feet by ¾ feet to get 5.625 feet.
B)Since the exposed pole is 7.5 feet, you subtracted the covered amount,5.625 feet by 7.5 feet to get 1.857 feet.
Challenge Solution:
No, his house was not washed away. Since Andy and Bob have the same size poles, you can use the information about Andy’s pole to figure out the original size of both poles. The exposed part of Andy’s pole is ¾ of the total length. You know that ¾ of the total length is 7.5 feet. If total length is “X”, then ¾ time X = 7.5 feet. If you divide 7.5 feet by ¾, this equals 10 feet, the total original size of the pole. Since the total length of Bob’s pole was 10 feet and 40%, or 4 feet, was buried underground, then 6 feet was left exposed. Since the storm surge in 2002 was only 5.625 feet, so you subtract 5.625 feet from the 6 feet of the exposed pole to get 0.485 feet.
I hope you will work on the next problem, which will be posted on November 11.
