    Cleopatra had 96,367,821 gold rings and 39,715 silver. Tutankhamen has 72,816,538 rings in total he has 19,816,538 silver how many more rings does Cleopatra have??? 🙂

    a pyramid took 15 years to build, how many days did it take?

    I had an area and perimeter question in mine! It went something along these lines… A base of a pyramid is in the shape of a rectangle one pair is 12cm long and the other is 9 cm what will be the area and perimeter? Something like that!
