Carl's School Fundraising Timeline: 100 Months

1. Carl's school needed to raise one million dollars to build a new science building. If they raise $10,000 a month, how many months will it take them to reach their goal?

To determine how many months it will take Carl's school to raise one million dollars at a rate of $10,000 per month, you can use the following calculation:

[ \text{Number of months} = \frac{\text{Total amount needed}}{\text{Amount raised per month}} ]

Given:

• Total amount needed = $1,000,000
• Amount raised per month = $10,000

[ \text{Number of months} = \frac{1,000,000}{10,000} ]

[ \text{Number of months} = 100 ]

So, it will take them 100 months to reach their goal.
