Question 1
several large kites to a carriage and pulled it from
Southampton to London. Since road taxes were based on
the number of horses used to pull a carriage, he was able to
avoid any taxes! The 60 mile trip took two hours. Modern
kite buggies now go twice as fast but seldom go as far. How
fast was the carriage moving? The carriage was moving at 30 miles per hour.
Question 2
flown in Hoshubana every May. The kites are 36 feet wide
and 48 feet tall with bridle lines more than 100 feet long. It
takes fifty members of the O-dako (Giant Kite) Association
of Hoshubana to launch this giant creation. Each team
member is suitably uniformed in a traditional festival jacket
that matches the kite. The kite is made from individual
pieces of rice paper, each glued together at the edges. If
each sheet is 18 inches wide and 24 inches tall, how many
sheets are needed to create the sail of this Japanese kite? 576 sheets are needed to make the giant kite.
