Week 1: Day 2 | Activity 3

Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?

Thanks to Mrs Anderson for teaching me how to do maths. First I did 3 x 365 because 3 is the water every day and 365 is how many days in a year. So I times it and came up with 1095. So the answer to the maths problem is 1095
