If seven more rabbits are added to the thirteen in the cage, the number of rabbits in the cage will be 1/3 the number of rabbits Jasper saw in the park today. How many rabbits did Jasper see in the park today?
If seven more rabbits are added to the thirteen in the cage, the total number becomes 7+13 =
<<7+13=20>>20 Triple the number of rabbits in the cage is 3*20 = <<3*20=60>>60, the same as the number of rabbits that Jasper saw at the park today. #### 60 There are 36 seagulls on the roof of the Taco Bell. Kids scare 1/4 of them away by throwing stones, and 1/3 of the remaining birds decide to fly to McDonald's parking lot. How many seagulls are left? First find how many birds get scared away by kids: 36 seagulls / 4 = <<36/4=9>>9 seagulls Then subtract that number from the starting total: 36 seagulls - 9 seagulls = <<36-9=27>>27 seagulls Then divide that number by 3: 27 seagulls / 3 = <<27/3=9>>9 seagulls Then subtract that number from the 27 seagulls to find the final number of seagulls: 27 seagulls - 9 seagulls = <<27-9=18>>18 seagulls #### 18 Anne's female cat weighs 2 kilograms. Her male cat is two times heavier. If Anne is going to carry both of them, how many kilograms is she carrying? Anne's male cat weighs 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 kilograms. Thus, Anne is carrying a total of 2 + 4 = <<2+4=6>>6 kilograms when she carries both of them. #### 6 Abigail is trying a new recipe for a cold drink. It uses 1/4 of a cup of iced tea and 1 and 1/4 of a cup of lemonade to make one drink. If she fills a pitcher with 18 total cups of this drink, how many cups of lemonade are in the pitcher? Each drink uses 1.5 cups because 1/4 cup + 1 and 1/4 cup = <<1.5=1.5>>1.5 cups The pitcher contains 12 total drinks because 18 / 1.5 = <<18/1.5=12>>12 There are 15 cups of lemonade in the pitcher because 12 x 1 and 1/4 = 15 #### 15 Georgia has 25 pieces of stationery while Lorene has three times as many pieces of stationery as Georgia. How many fewer pieces of stationery does Georgia have than Lorene? Lorene has 25 x 3 = <<25*3=75>>75 pieces of stationery. Thus, Georgia has 75 - 25 = <<75-25=50>>50 fewer pieces of stationery than Lorene. #### 50 A town is trying to clear litter from its streets. The council pays for adding 14 trash cans to the streets and also pays for adding twice as many trash cans to the back of stores. How many trash cans has the town paid for? At the back of stores, the town has paid for 14 trash cans on the streets * 2 = <<14*2=28>>28 trash cans. The town has therefore added 14 trash cans on the streets + 28 trash cans at the back of stores = <<14+28=42>>42 trash cans. #### 42 Jessica has one hour to take an exam. She has answered 16 out of 80 questions. She has used 12 minutes of her time. If she keeps up this same pace, how many minutes will be left when she finishes the exam? She takes .75 minutes to answer a question because 12 / 16 = <<12/16=.75>>.75 It will take her 60 minutes to take the entire exam because 80 x .75 = <<80*.75=60>>60 She has 0 minutes left when she is done because 60 - 60 = <<60-60=0>>0 #### 0 A chair costs 1/7 of the cost of a table. If a table costs $140, how much will it cost to buy a table and 4 chairs? One chair costs $140 x 1/7 = $<<140*1/7=20>>20. Four chairs cost $20 x 4 = $<<20*4=80>>80. So a table and 4 chairs cost $140 + $80 = $<<140+80=220>>220. #### 220 Alani earned $45 for 3 hours of baby-sitting. At the same rate, for how many hours would she need to baby-sit to earn $75? The rate is $45/3=$<<45/3=15>>15/hr. She would need to baby-sit for $75/$15=<<75/15=5>>5 hours. #### 5 A teacher teaches 5 periods a day and works 24 days a month. He is paid $5 per period. if he has been working for 6 months now how much has he earned in total? The amount paid to the teacher per day is 5 periods * $5 / period = $<<5*5=25>>25 per day. The amount paid for 24 days is $25 / day * 24 days = $<<25*24=600>>600. The total amount for 6 months is $600 * 6 = $<<600*6=3600>>3600. #### 3600
