Question 2

2.

After you finish the problem above and check your answer, try this one: A spaceship from another planet travels at a speed of 4.27 googs per mulm. There are 256 googs in a plotz and 12.3 plotz in a wraslm. If 3.4 tpocks equal one mulm, what is the ship’s speed in wraslm per tpock? Show your work. In this case, assume numbers with decimal places are measured but whole numbers are exact (we’ll pretend that “googs” are creatures!)

Jabberwocky

Nonsense words taken from the poem Jabberwocky (from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass)

There are 20 tumtum trees in the tulgey wood. In each tulgey wood is one frumious Bandersnatch. There are 5 slithy toves in 2 borogoves. There are 2 mome raths per Jabberwock. There are 2 Jubjub birds in 200 tumtum trees. There are 200 mome raths in each borogove. There are 5 Jubjub birds per slithy tove.

If there are 5 frumious Bandersnatches, how many Jabberwocks should there be? HINT: What is your “given” info (other than conversion factors)? Use this to start the set up. Show your work
