Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Early Childhood

Leprechauns hid two pots filled with gold at the end of each of five rainbows.  How many pots of gold did they hide? 

Upper Elementary

Leprechauns hoarding their treasure filled pots with 2.5 tons of gold.  If 1 ton equals 2,000 pounds, how many pounds of gold did they have?If 1 pound equals 16 ounces, how many ounces of gold did they have? 

Middle School

Counting and recounting their gold each night, it took each leprechaun 3 hours to count 4 pots of gold.  At this rate, how many pots of gold could be counted in 21 hours?  How many hours would it take to count 48 pots of gold?
