Maple Syrup Making: The Final Frontier

Hey lovelies.  Here is the final maple syrup video installment.  All good things must come to an end.  And this was a sweet end! I am still collecting sap however so I will let you know how much I get in the end. 

In the first video, I asked two questions.  Let's look at those again:

1.What is the formula for calculating diameter if you only know the circumference of a circle?  The answer is: D=C/pi  (I would put in the symbol for pi but don't know how on Blogger :)

2.Knowing that the ratio of sap to syrup is 40:1, if I collect two full buckets of sap, 1 bucket that is half full, and two buckets that are 3/4 full, how much syrup will I get in the end?  Each bucket can hold 2 gallons of syrup.  You may need to convert gallons to litres.

Here is how I figured it out:   if I add up all of those amounts, I would have 4 full buckets of syrup, which are each 2 gallons each.  2x4 is 8 gallons.  8 gallons is equal to 30.3 litres but I'm going to round down to 30 litres.  So, we know that the ratio is 40:1, so I am going to divide 30 by 40 to get how much syrup I will get from that much sap, which gives me 0.75 litres of sap.  There you go!

And now, onto the video.  Miss you all!
