Math Challenge September 28

Native Americas used wampum as their money. It is made of polished sea shells and beads. The shells washed up on the shore from the ocean. They strung the beads into necklaces or long lengths in order to trade them more easily. A fathom of wampum is a six foot length containing about 360 beads.

Little Fox wants to trade his wampum for a new teepee. A new teepee costs 50 fathom. How many beads does a new teepee cost?
