  1. Terra Cotta Warriors Word problems

  2. History • When Ying Zheng was 13 years old, he was crowned King of Qin in China. Qin, pronounced Chin, was one of the largest military stated in ancient China. Because of Ying Zheng’s quest for immortality, he ordered construction on his burial site as soon as he became king. Soon after he proclaimed himself first emperor and unified China in 221 B.C, work began on the vast tomb. From all parts of China, more than 700000 workers built terra cotta warriors, chariots, weapons and other artifacts.

  3. Problem #1 A Terra Cotta warrior stands 6 ft. and casts a shadow of 10 in. Jane goes to visit one of the dig sites and finds her shadow is 3 inches shorter. How tall does Jane stand?

  4. Problem #2 • If 24 horses were excavated within 60 square yards of land, how much land was covered if 408 horses were found?

  5. Problem #3 • If 96 of every 210 terra cotta warriors have a mustache, how many warriors out of 1000 would have a mustache?

  6. Problem #4 • The terra cotta warriors were shielded by a wall built by the workers to protect the site. When the burial site was discovered in 1974, the circumference of the huge mound was 4593 ft and it rose 164 ft above ground level. What are the diameter and radius of the huge mound? Round your answers to the nearest tenth.

  7. Problem #5 • There were approximately 700000 people who constructed the terra cotta army over a thirty year span of time. Perhaps seven out of the ten workers were older than age 20. At this rate, approximately how many workers were 20 years old or younger?
