Civil War Problems!

Soldier. You have been hired to solve the major problems of the
Civil War. Can you solve these for us? You may use whatever
methods you prefer, just make sure you show your work and final
answers. Remember, word problems can be solved through a
variety of ways (even drawing pictures!) Ten hut! On your way
then! Were counting on you!
1. At Cold Harbor, Virginia, 7,000 Americans fell in just 20 minutes. This was a very
sad and bloody day for both sides of the Civil War. How many Americans died per
minute? Show your work please!

2. Missouri sent 39 regiments to fight in the siege of Vicksburg: Some of these

regiments went to the Confederacy and some went to the Union. If 4 more went to
the Union than to the Confederacyhow many were sent to each? Show your
work!

3. More than 3 million men fought in the Civil War. Write 3 million as a number and
identify each of the numbers place value. (For example, the last 0 of 3 million is
the ones category.) Show your work!

4. Interestingly, disease actually killed more soldiers throughout the war than battle
conflicts. In fact, 2 men died from disease for every 1 man who died in battle.
That means, if 3 men died in battle, 6 probably died of disease. If 10 died from
battle conflicts, how many would have died from disease? Show your work!

5. In order to encourage people to sign up for the army, there was a money award for
signing upabout $677! Some people would sign up, get the money, and then run
away. One man, in fact, accomplished this fact 32 times! ANSWER BOTH:1) How
much money did he make? 2) If the reward had been $688 per time, how much
more would he have made? Show your work!
