Problem for Students: Pretend we are going to take a class trip to visit our partner school in Rome, Italy. Figure out the distance from Kalamazoo to Rome. If we were to fly there, how long would it take us to get there? Now, say we wanted to drive to the coast and take a boat the rest of the way. Decide on a route to drive to the coast, listing the states we would go through, and how long it would take us to get there. Then, figure out how long a boat ride from the coast to Italy would take.
