Problem-Solving:

A Hairy Problem

 

            Today's snack: Angel Hair Pasta, cooked according to package directions, and tossed with a little margarine, a few shakes of Parmesan cheese, and some tiny pieces of broccoli and red pepper. As you toss the hot pasta with the small pieces of veggies, they should soften up just enough to be absolutely delicious!

Supplies:

Paper and pencil

Calculator

A lot of patience!

Your calendar to schedule your next haircut! (just kidding)

 

 

Let's say human hair grows three inches a year.

 

There are 5,280 feet in a mile.

 

There are 8,760 hours in a year.

 

So how many miles per hour does hair grow?
