(Math, Fitness) Mitchie's Naptime Dump
Today, our Mitchie had quite the unexpected adventure during his afternoon nap! While he was peacefully dreaming, his tummy started making gurgling noises. Suddenly, Mitchell's body tensed up, and he inadvertently released a surprisingly loud fart that echoed through the baby monitor. This was quickly followed by a substantial deposit in his pampers, which unfortunately woke him up from his slumber. Poor Mitchie was quite startled by the whole ordeal! Let's use this silly situation to practice some math and then get our bodies moving to cheer Mitchell up!
Math Questions:
1. Mitchell usually takes 3 naps a day, each lasting about 90 minutes. If he maintains this schedule for two weeks, but misses one nap due to a doctor's appointment, how many total hours of nap time will he have had?
2. Mitchell's pampers can hold 250 ml of liquid. During his nap, he had an accident that filled the pampers with 180 ml. If he then drinks 100 ml of juice after waking up, how much more liquid can his pampers hold before potentially leaking?
3. It takes Eddy 2 minutes to change Mitchell's pampers under normal circumstances. However, after this particular incident, it took an extra 3 minutes to clean up thoroughly. If Mitchell needs 4 changes a day, and one of them is always this messy, how many minutes does Eddy spend changing pampers daily?
4. Eddy buys pampers in packs of 40. After Mitchell's big nap accident, Eddy realizes they're using more pampers than usual. If they now use 6 pampers a day instead of the usual 5, how many days will one pack last, and how many extra packs will they need to buy for a 30-day month?
5. A box of wipes contains 80 wipes. For regular changes, Eddy uses 3 wipes, but for messier situations like today's, he uses 7 wipes. If Mitchell has one messy change per day and three regular changes, how many days will the box of wipes last?
6. Mitchell's pampers weigh 50 grams when dry. After his naptime accident, they weighed a whopping 280 grams! How much did the weight increase, and if this represents 85% of the pampers' total capacity, what is the maximum weight the pampers can hold?
7. If pampers cost $0.25 each, and Eddy has to buy an extra pack every month due to incidents like today's, how much extra will he spend on pampers in a year?
8. Mitchell usually naps for 2 hours each time. However, today's incident woke him up 30 minutes early. If he takes 3 naps a day, how many hours does he typically spend napping in a week, and how much nap time did he lose this week due to today's early wake-up?
9. The changing table is 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. Eddy wants to add a 6-inch wide shelf on one of the long sides for extra supplies. What will be the total area of the changing station after adding the shelf?
10. If Eddy orders pampers online and it takes 3 days to arrive, how many pampers should he order if they have 10 left, use 6 per day (accounting for occasional accidents like today's), and want to have a 5-day buffer for unexpected delays?
11. Mitchell's room is 12 feet by 10 feet. After the messy incident, Eddy decides to rearrange the furniture. If the crib takes up 24 square feet, the changing table takes up 6 square feet, and a new air purifier takes up 4 square feet, how much free floor space is left in Mitchell's room?
12. Eddy wants to install a baby gate that's 3 feet wide in Mitchell's 10-foot wide doorway to prevent him from crawling out during diaper-free time. If he centers the gate, how much space will be left on each side, and is it enough for an adult to pass through if they need at least 2 feet of clearance?
13. Mitchell's crib is 4 feet long and 3 feet wide. After today's incident, Eddy decides to add a waterproof mattress protector that's 6 inches longer and wider than the crib on each side. What's the total area of the mattress protector?
14. If Eddy changes 4 pampers a day and each pamper takes 2 minutes to change, except for one messy change that takes 5 minutes, how much time does he spend changing pampers in a month (30 days)? How many hours is this in total?
15. Eddy buys a big box of 180 pampers. If they use 35 pampers a week normally, but have one day a week with an extra messy situation requiring 2 additional pampers, how many weeks will the box last?
16. If Mitchell drinks 4 ounces of water every 2 hours while awake, and he's awake for 10 hours, how many ounces of water does he drink in a day? If Eddy wants to increase Mitchell's water intake by 25% to help with digestion, how many ounces should Mitchell drink daily?
17. Eddy wants to track Mitchell's naps more accurately after today's incident. If Mitchell naps for 45 minutes, 1 hour and 30 minutes, and 1 hour and 15 minutes, what is his total nap time in minutes? If Eddy wants to ensure Mitchell gets at least 3 hours and 45 minutes of nap time daily, how many more minutes does Mitchell need to nap?
18. If Mitchell's pampers (on sale) cost $15 for a pack of 60, how much does each pamper cost? If Eddy finds a bulk deal offering a 20% discount on purchases of 5 or more packs, how much would he save on a year's supply (assuming they use 300 pampers per month)?
19. Eddy wants to create a changing area in Mitchell's room that's easy to clean after incidents like today's. If the changing table is 3 feet by 2 feet, and he wants 1 foot of easily cleanable space around it on all sides, how big should the changing area be? If he decides to use easy-to-clean vinyl flooring in this area, how much will it cost if the vinyl costs $2.50 per square foot?
20. If Mitchell goes through 1 box of wipes (80 wipes) every 8 days normally, but after today's incident, Eddy estimates they'll use 25% more wipes, how many wipes will they use per day on average? How many boxes will they need for a 30-day month?
Great job on those math problems! Now, let's get our bodies moving with a fun two hour gym workout to help Mitchell forget about his naptime mishap. But before we start, remember to ask parents for permission to exercise. Safety first!
Once you have permission, let's embark on a one-hour intense workout:
1. Warm-up: 5 minutes of marching in place
2. 10 jumping jacks
3. 5 push-ups (you can do these on your knees if needed)
4. 10 arm circles (5 forward, 5 backward)
5. 10 squats
6. 30 seconds of running in place
7. 10 lunges (5 on each leg)
8. 30 seconds of high knees
9. 10 sit-ups
10. 1-minute dance break!
Repeat this circuit 4 times with short water breaks in between. Remember to cool down and stretch at the end. Great job, everyone! Stay healthy and active!
