Counting at the rate of one number per second, and never stopping, how long would it take you to count to 1,000? 1,000,000? 1,000,000,000?

Answer:

1,000 seconds = 17 minutes
1,000,000 seconds = 12 days
1,000,000,000 seconds = 33 years

DAY 104

Answer:

5..........Bag + Bag +2 = Bag + 7

DAY 105
A recycling plant gives 1 free bottle of soda pop for every 5 recycled bottles. How many free sodas would you get if you recycled 77 bottles?

Answer:

19.......77/5 = 15 free bottles + 2 left over......15/5 = 3 free bottles + the 2 left over..... these 3 + the 2 left over make 5.......these 5 yield 1 free bottle: 15 + 3 + 1 = 19
