Wednesday Word Problem from Mango Math!




Buck and Henry bought three horses of equal value for $840. Buck contributed $450 and Henry contributed $390. By the end of the day, they had sold one horse for $840, and decided to end their partnership. How should they divide the cash fairly if Henry keeps the two horses?

Come back tomorrow to find out the answer!

I don't know about the math but you KNOW I loved the horses!

Your 11-year-old was right. SCARY is a good title. That photo was from the Bitterroot Forest fire.

The deer were trying to escape. You could pretty much use that photo across the curriculum.
