Ivan worked out how many days he had spent living with humans - 9876. He marked them all with crosses.
How many crosses would you need to mark on your wall if you counted all the days you have been alive (as a human)? Write your number in words, not numbers (like the title of this blog post). How did you work it out?
Mine would be eleven thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine.
I worked it out as follows:
32 years = 365x32 = 11680, but there were 8 leap years (32/4=8) which have one less day each, so 11680-8=11672
My birthday is 10th October, so I then also need to add all the days since then. That means the number of days in the rest of October (21), November (30), December (31), January (31), February (28), March (31), April (30) and May so far (5).
11672 + 21 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 5 = 11879
I used a calculator, of course!
Give it a go.
4243. I used your strategy and fingers crossed I got it right!
