One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar...Helen A. Keller

 



Take a Little Coffee Break


Helen Keller Middle School's New Haven Math Trail







Leave Old Campus the same way you came in, through Phelps Gate. Turn right on Elm Street and walk to the next intersection. Cross the street and turn right onto Chapel Street. Walk to Starbucks, which is located on the corner of Chapel Street and High Street.

Mr. Cockerham loves Starbucks café mocha. If you're in his group you'll have to wait while he stops in for a cup. Starbucks coffee comes in three sizes - tall, grande, and venti. The tall holds 12 ounces, the grande 15 ounces, and the venti 20 ounces. Which of these offers the best buy? Show your work and explain your reasoning in the space provided.

(Please keep in mind that Starbucks is a business and that we shouldn't get in the way of their customers or employees. Perhaps it would be a good idea to send one or two people in to get the prices and then complete the question later.)
