Day in the Salt Marsh, A - Math Word Problems

	1. The distance between the high tide and the low tide in the Bay of Fundy in Canada is 40 feet. The difference in high tide and low tide in a local bay is only 3 feet. What is the difference between the sizes of the tide variances in the two locations? 43 feet 37 feet 40.3 feet

	2. How many hours are there in a day? 12 24 48

	3. If an average tide cycle takes approximately 12 hours to go from low tide, through high tide, and back to low, then one can assume that If high tide is at 2:00pm, the next high tide will be about 2 in the morning If high tide is at 2:00pm, the low tide will be around 8 that evening both of the above

	4. If tides get lower by approximately 50 minutes later each day and low tide is at 2 low tide should be about 1:10 the next day low tide should be about 2:50 the next day low tide should be about 2:00 the next day

	5. If I am at the beach in the morning and low tide was at 8:00 the tide is going out (ebbing) the tide is coming in (flooding) not enough information to know

	6. If I am at the beach in the morning and low tide was at 8 high tide will be about twelve hours later than low high tide will be about six hours later than low high tide will be about four hours later than low

	7. Most areas have how many tide cycles each day? 3 4 2

	8. Tides are related to the moon phase. If high tide falls in the morning (about 8:00) If high tide is in the morning on one Monday, then it will be low tide in the morning a week later. If high tide is in the morning on Monday, it will be high tide in the morning the following Friday. Not enough information to determine

	9. If it takes approximately 6 hours to go from high tide to low tide and vice versus, then slack tide (when tide is neither coming in nor going out) is approximately Every 12 hours Every 6 hours Every 3 hours
