3. A Pulaski High School senior was applying to college and wondered how many applications he needed to send. His counselor
explained that with the excellent grade he received in chemistry he would probably be accepted to one school out of every three
to which he applied. [3 applications = 1 acceptance] He immediately realized that for each application he would have to write 3
essays, (1 application = 3 essays) and each essay would require 2 hours work (1 essay = 2 hours). Of course writing
essays is no simple matter. For each hour of serious essay writing, he would need to expend 500 calories (1 hour = 500
calories) which he could derive from his mother's apple pies (1 pie = 1000 calories). How many times would he have to
clean his room in order to gain acceptance to 10 colleges? Hopefully you didn't skip problem No 1. I'll help you get
started 10 acceptances is the "given".
