Flying Fungi!

Quick Maths!

Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?

7 different kinds of mold and it takes 5 days to remove 1 mold so:

7 x 5 = 35

It will take 35 days to remove all 7 molds from the classroom one by one!
