For maths, we had to create a problem which included a fairy tale character and you needed to use multiplication to figure it out.
Rumpelstiltskin has to spin hay bales out of gold for the woodcutter's daughter, he spins one hay bale per 15 minutes. How many hay bales can he spin in 12 hours ?
First, I had to find out how many hay bales would he make in an hour. I done that by adding 15 until I got to 60 minutes, which was 4 hay bales. Then I had to times 4 by 12 because it was 4 hay bales per hour and there were 12 hours. Which gave me 48 and the answer is 48 hay bales.
