"How much power would it take to fully recharge an average modern EV in 5 minutes?"
Average modern EVs carry ... 65KWh?
To charge 65KWh in 5 minutes ...
... (65 kilowatt hours) / (5 minutes)
780,000 Watts.
... That's a lot of Watts.

Anyone out there have a wild #FunWithMath ideas or #math challenges you'd love to see explored? Drop your most creative, curious, or downright wacky suggestions! Let's make things make sese using math and a little fun. #educhat #edusky
The #Corporation for #Public #Broadcasting has a #budget of $500 million out of the U.S. government’s $6.75 trillion. To put it in perspective: if you earned $50,000, that’s like cutting just $3.75 annually. Or, the #military could fund #CPB by buying 115 #F-35 jets instead of 120. #FunWithMath
#FunWithMath follow-up
Microsoft is worth $4 Trillion. How big is that number? That’s enough to:
-Give every #K–12 #teacher a $10K housing credit + $5K in classroom supplies
-Give every K–12 #school $100K for upgrades
-Give every #student free lunch
And we could do this every year...for 35 years
#Microsoft just reported quarterly #profits of $27.23 billion. That is about $3500 earned every second for 3 months. In the time you read this #FunWithMath fact, Microsoft made about $32,000

What if American #wealth was the USA? Top 1% (340k) would occupy 25 red states. The next 9% (33.6M) would be 14 green states. Together they own 70% of the land. The next 40% (136M) would fit in the blue states, while the bottom 50% (170M) would live in Nebraska. #powerful
#FunWithMath - #Energy Style!
Here's how much energy a 100-watt bulb uses in 24 hrs. You could:
Charge your #smartphone 150 times
#Google 4000 things
Ask #ChatGPT 300 questions
Binge #TheOffice seasons 1-3
PS: A single #Bitcoin transaction uses enough energy to keep this lightbulb on for 400+ days!
Have you ever considered all of the ways you can explore #math #outdoors? Here are some of our favorite approaches for taking classroom mathematics outside.

#FunWithMath - recent #Budget #Bill style, #Senate Edition: (1/2)
22 states had #senators that both voted yes
In 23 states both voted no
5 states split the vote.
22 yes states total #population: 137,003,000
23 no states total population:181,369,000
5 split states total population: 15,508,000
#FunWithMath
Amount formally requested to be cut via #DOGE: $9.4 billion.
USA budget: $6.75 trillion
Median individual income, USA: $42,200.
Meaning, if #Congress approves all the cuts, the budget impact is the same as an average #American cutting $4.86 per month from their budget. #math
#FunWithMath #Microsoft posted a net quarterly profit of $25.82 billion. They then laid off 6000 workers w/ a median salary of $125k. How long will it take to make up the salary of these workers?
Answer: 2 days, 15 hrs, 26 min and 21 sec.
translation: #msft makes $750,000,000 in less than 3 days.
#FunWithMath Would you rather pay for...
US federal funding for #PBS + #NPR combined: $500 million, or $3 per US tax payer
US federal funding for (just) #Boeing: $15.6 billion, or $94 per US tax payer.

#FunWithMath: #Denmark has at most 8 medical bankruptcies per year (almost all due to experimental or alternative treatments.) The total number of medical bankruptcies that occur in Denmark over 173 years would equal the number of medical bankruptcies that happen in just one day in the USA.
#FunWithMath: Approximately 505,000 Americans are estimated to file for bankruptcy each year due to medical debt. To put that into perspective, every 9 weeks, the number of people filing for medical #bankruptcy is roughly equivalent to the entire population of #Greenland.
Anybody got that special graph paper? It's normally used to chart exponential growth. I want to watch exponential LOSS! This could truly be #funwithmath !!!

One of my favorite random coincidence #MathFacts is the link between the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21...) and converting miles to KM: 3 miles is a 5k, 5 miles is an 8k, 8 miles is a 13k, 13 miles is a 21k...) It isn't perfect, but after 5k it is within 1% #MathChat #FunWithMath #MSChat
#FunWithMath - the US withdrawal from the WHO will save about $270 million from the federal budget. This is the equivalent of someone making $40,000 cutting about $6 from their annual budget. Or, in other words, the US is saving the equivalent of $0.50 per month
