What would that distance be in metres?What would that distance be in cm?What would that distance be in miles?Can you round this number to the nearest 1000, 100 & 10?If you travelled in a plane at 550mph how many days, hours, minutes would it take to get the scene of the Japanese Tsunami?If you travelled in a car at 70mph how many days, hours, minutes would it take to get the scene of the Japanese Tsunami?If you travelled on a bicycle at 15mph how many days, hours, minutes would it take to get the scene of the Japanese Tsunami?If you walked at 3mph how many days, hours, minutes would it take to get to the scene of the Japanese Tsunami?A tsunami can travel at 700 km per hour. What would that speed be in metres per second?Can you convert that into miles per hour?The distance from Great Britain's northernmost point in Dunnet Head, Scotland, to Lizard Point, its southernmost point in England, is 600 miles as the crow flies. How long would it take a tsunami to do that journey?It is an 823-mile drive along the most direct roads. How much EXTRA time would this take a tsunami?The length of Great Britain's coastline is 7,700 miles.

FoodIn the regions affected by the Indonesian Tsunami rice is a staple part of the diet. The World Food Programme provides, on average, about 400 grams of rice per person, per day (for families, including children and adults). That is intended for two meals that include other ingredients to ensure a minimum of 2,100 kilocalories per day.ShelterLarge simple ridge tents are often used for shelter and vary in size. The number of people who would sleep overnight in one can also vary due to the size of families. However, the average number of people per tent for our work we will assume to be 8.Task: Use the information above to calculate each of the missing boxes in the table below: CountryAmount of water per dayAmount of water per weekAmount of food per dayAmount of food per weekNumber of tents requiredIndonesiaSri LankaIndiaThailandSomaliaMyanmarMaldivesMalaysiaTotalWaterFor the purposes of this project, we are going to assume every litre of water costs 37 pence to get to the people who need it.
