Mr. R.’s World of Math

When Fluffie didn’t stop, I began running. I ran right out of the classroom, right out of the school and began running down the street. No matter how fast I ran, Fluffie was right behind me. I discovered giant rabbits are quick! “Me Hungry eat teacher,” he kept repeating. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I mean I’d never been chased by a giant rabbit before. Suddenly I had an idea- I’ll run to the supermarket and hopefully find some carrots for him to eat. It was better than him trying to chew on me! I saw the supermarket down the street and ran straight in. Fluffie was still following me. I ran to the produce section and saw a tall pile of bags of carrots. I grabbed one and threw it at Fluffie. He caught it in his mouth and swallowed the entire bag- including the bag! I saw him grow even more. His ears were squeezing against the ceiling of the supermarket! I threw another bag at him and he ate that one too and grew even more. His tail which used to be small and stubby, was now as big as a small car. What was I going to do! I did not need an even bigger hungry rabbit chasing me for lunch! Then I had another idea. I saw a whole bunch of bags that said “Baby Carrots” on them. I grabbed one of the bags and flung it straight at Fluffie. Fluffie caught the bag in his mouth and swallowed, and just like I thought might happen, he shrank a little. I started throwing the bags of baby carrots as fast as I could. They were flying into his mouth as fast as Trick or Treaters eating Halloween candy. As a matter of fact I threw 9 bags of baby carrots at him in 20 seconds! If each bag had of carrots was on sale for 93¢ what would have been the total cost of the 9 bags of carrots?
