8.8C Holiday Heist Breakout

Krampus: I didn't steal any globe! I'm not a monster...well, okay, I'm a monster, but I still didn't do it! And I can prove it!I couldn't have stolen the globe because I was in the forest "collecting" reindeer! If you look into it you'll discover I'm telling the truth!Problem: Four times the number of stolen tiny reindeer in Krampus' barn is the same as three times the number of tiny reindeer plus nine. How many reindeer were stolen?

need ahint?

Krampus: See? I'm just hungry! I would never steal the Grand Luminous Globe! I love that festival!If you want to know who I think stole the globe, I'd check on that Abominable Snowman! I don't trust him at all!

Abominable Snowman: Oh, hello there! I don't see too many outsiders around these parts! I've been up here preparing for the most epic snowball fight! Do you want play? I'll even wait for you to catch up!Problem: The Yeti has challenged you to an epic snowball fight. He currently has 37 snowballs and can make another 14 per hour. You don't have any snowballs yet, but you can make 19 per hour.How many hours will it take for you and Yeti to have the same number of snowballs so that you can start the snowball fight?

Abominable Snowman: That was a lot of fun! I haven't been down from my mountain in years! The people in the town can see me coming from a mile away and they always yell so loud I just run away and hide! I'm actually a big baby!Speaking of big babies, if you see my friend Ralphie around, will you tell him I said hi?

Ralphie: I can't talk right now! I've been tuning into my favorite radio show every day this month to try and track the hidden message! If you'll help me, I promise to share the secret decoder ring with you!Problem: Hector and Melissa are saving up to buy new detective kits. Hector has $9 already and will save $5 every week. Melissa has $6 and will save $7 every week. After how many weeks will Hector and Melissa have the same amount of money? ______X + ______ = ______X + ______

Use the numbers in the equation to crack the code and unlock the next suspect!

Ralphie: That's it? Ah gosh! I thought it was going to be a real detective story! What a ripoff! At this rate, I'll never be a real detective like you!I heard a story on the radio about this guy Hans Gruber at Nakatomi Tower causing a lot of trouble. I'd go and check it out myself, but I'm grounded.

Hans Gruber: I can't talk right now! Can't you see I'm busy? I've been running from John McClane all night! I'm going to race to the top of Nakatomi Tower before he can catch me!Problem: Which of the following scenarios matches the inequality 2x + 5 < 3x ?A) John is chasing Hans to the top of Nakatomi Tower. Hans is on the fifth floor and can climb two floors per minute. John is on the ground floor and can climb 3 floors per minute. What is the maximum number of minutes before John reaches the same floor as Hans?b) John is chasing Hans to the top of Nakatomi Tower. Hans is on the second floor and can climb 3 floors per minute. John is on the ground level and can climb 5 floors per minute. What is the maximum number of minutes before John reaches the same floor as Hans? c) John is chasing Hans to the top of Nakatomi Tower. Hans is on the third floor and can climb 5 floors per minute. John is on the second floor and can climb 3 floors per minute. What is the maximum number of minutes before John reaches the same floor as Hans? d) John is chasing Hans to the top of Nakatomi Tower. Hans is on the fifth floor and can climb 3 floors per minute. John is on the ground floor and can climb 2 floors per minute. What is the maximum number of minutes before John reaches the same floor as Hans?

Hans Gruber: Ah! He's too fast! I'm not going to make it! Get out of here before you slow me down any further! I've no idea what you're even talking about with some silly globe. I've far bigger targets to worry about!Go find that pest Jack Frost in his frozen palace! He seems like the sort to collect such silly trinkets!

Jack Frost: Did you turn on the fireplace? Don't you think it's a little warm? I like to keep it a comfortable 32 degrees in here! Problem: Jack Frost is standing near a fire. The temperature starts at 77 degrees and Jack lowers it by 5 degrees each minute. The fire heats the air at a rate of 2 degrees per minute. Which of the following equations represents this situation?A) -5x + 77 = 2x + 77B) -5x + 77 = 2xC) -5x + 2x = 77D) -5x = 2x + 77

Jack Frost: Did you turn on the fireplace? Don't you think it's a little warm? I like to keep it a comfortable 32 degrees in here! Problem: Jack Frost is standing near a fire. The temperature starts at 77 degrees and Jack lowers it by 5 degrees each minute. The fire heats the air at a rate of 2 degrees per minute. After how many minutes will the temperatures equalize?

Jack Frost: There, that's already starting to feel better! I haven't seen the Luminara Globe in years. It radiates too much heat for me!I saw a couple of guys sneaking around outside everyone's houses the other day. Looked like they were up to no good! The newspaper said they were calling themselves the Wet Bandits!

Harry: Marv don't say anything to this guy!Marv: They won't get a thing out of me! I won't tell them anything about each of us breaking into houses all over town!Harry: Marv...Problem: Each of the Wet Bandits is separately flooding basements all over town! The number of basements they're flooding can be represented by the equation 2y - 4 = y + 3. Click on the model that can be used to solve the number of basements they've flooded.

Harry: Marv, I don't think this detective is onto us. I think we might be in the clear...Problem: Each of the Wet Bandits is separately flooding basements all over town! The number of basements they're flooding can be represented by the equation 2y - 4 = y + 3. Click on the model that can be used to solve the number of basements they've flooded.

Marv: I don't know how they figured it out, Harry! They're some kind of detective super genius!Harry: I could tell you how they figured it out Marv. They've got bigger problems than us. We didn't steal any Globe! I saw some kid and his dog walking around town looking suspicious!
