1 .
A person’s length from their belly button to the floor is 3 ft 8 in, assuming the ratio is golden. What is the person’s approximate height rounded to the nearest inch?
2 .
The leaves on an invasive weed mirror the Fibonacci sequence. If a set of leaves on the plant contains 13 leaves, how many leaves would be found on the previous smaller set of leaves?
3 .
The 14th term of the Fibonacci sequence is 377 and the 15th term is 610. What is the 13th term of the sequence?
4 .
A fence has dimensions of 40 in by 25 in. Calculate the ratio of the sides rounded to the nearest tenth and determine if the size approximates a golden rectangle.
5 .
An average toilet uses 5 gal of water per flush. A high-efficiency toilet uses about 1.25 gal per flush. How much water would a dorm save in an academic year (32 weeks) if the toilet was flushed 22 times a day?
6 .
When washing dishes, leaving the faucet running utilizes about 15 gal every 5 minutes, whereas filling the sink and turning the faucet off except to rinse the dishes uses about 5 gal for washing a dishpan-sized load of dishes. How much water is saved by not leaving the faucet running if it takes 10 minutes to wash a dishpan-sized load of dishes each day for a week?
