" Math for an Old Saying" by Susan Pearl

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

A beautiful statue has a small crack in one arm.

One ounce of glue costs $2.45.
If the statue is repaired now it will take one ounce of glue.
If not repaired and the arm falls off it will take a pound of glue to repair the arm.
How much money is saved by repairing the small crack now rather than to have to repair the whole arm of the statue?
How many ounces of glue is saved?
Estimate how much time is saved.
How important is timely maintenance?
Is maintenance a form of prevention?

Discuss or write about how:
Social distancing, Washing hands and Staying at home helps prevention of COVID-19.
How does this prevention bring about maintenance and prevent things from getting worse?
What supplies and support systems are in place for this to happen?
