John buys 1/2 gallon jugs of cold brew coffee every 4 days. How many cups of coffee does he drink a day?

He drinks 128/2 =

<<128/2=64>>64 ounces of coffee every 4 days That means he drinks 64/4 = <<64/4=16>>16 ounces of coffee a day So he drinks 16/8 = <<16/8=2>>2 cups a day #### 2 It took an alligator named Paul 4 hours to walk from his home at the River Nile to the Nile Delta. On the return journey, Paul traveled with six other alligators, the journey taking 2 more hours than Paul took to walk to the Nile Delta, to reach their home at the River Nile. What's the combined time the alligators walked? If on the return journey to its home, the alligator took 2 more hours than it took to travel to the Nile Delta, Paul took 4+2=<<4+2=6>>6 hours to travel back to its home. The total time Paul took to travel from its home to the Nile Delta and back is 6+4=<<6+4=10>>10 On his return journey, Paul traveled with six other alligators, and since each alligator traveled for six hours up the Nile to their home, they took a total of 6*6=<<6*6=36>>36 hours to do so. Together with Paul, all the alligators took 10+36=<<10+36=46>>46 hours traveling between Nile Delta and up the Nile. #### 46 Betty picked 16 strawberries. Matthew picked 20 more strawberries than Betty and twice as many as Natalie. They used their strawberries to make jam. One jar of jam used 7 strawberries and they sold each jar at $4. How much money were they able to make from the strawberries they picked? Matthew picked 16 + 20 = <<16+20=36>>36 strawberries. Natalie picked 36/2 = <<36/2=18>>18 strawberries. All together, they have 16 + 36 + 18 = <<16+36+18=70>>70 strawberries. They can make 70/7 = <<70/7=10>>10 jars of strawberries. They earn 10 x $4 = $<<10*4=40>>40 from the strawberries they picked. #### 40 A trader made a profit of $960 after a week of sales. To raise $610 to pay for her next shipment of wares, she splits the profit in half and solicits donations from her family and friends. If she received a total donation of $310 and adds it to one-half of her profit, how much money did she make above her goal? She splits her $960 profit in half to get $960 / 2 = $<<960/2=480>>480. She receives a total donation of $310, so she now has $310 + $480 = $<<310+480=790>>790. She needed only $610 so she has $790 - $610 = $180 more than she needs. #### 180 There are six more white birds next to a cage than grey birds in the cage. If the number of grey birds in the cage is 40, and after ten minutes, half of the birds in the cage are freed and fly away, calculate the total number of birds remaining. If the number of grey birds is 40, there are 40+6 = <<40+6=46>>46 white birds near the cage. When half of the grey birds fly away, the number that remains is 1/2*40 = <<1/2*40=20>>20 The total number of birds is 20+46 = <<20+46=66>>66 in and next to the cage. #### 66 A sixty bulb watt uses 60 watts of power each day. If Allyn has 40 such bulbs in his house and pays an electricity bill of twenty cents per power watt used, calculate Allyn's total monthly expenses on electricity in June. If each bulb uses 60 watts each day, the 40 bulbs that Allyn has uses 60*40 = <<60*40=2400>>2400 watts of power each day. In June, with 30 days, the bulbs will use 30*2400 = <<30*2400=72000>>72000 watts of power. If Allyn is charged an electricity bill of twenty cents per power watt used, in June she will pay 72000*$0.20 = $<<72000*0.20=14400>>14400 #### 14400 The age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is half the total number of pencils Asaf has. The sum of their ages is 140, and Asaf is 50 years old. If Alexander has 60 more pencils than Asaf, calculate the total number of pencils they have together. If the sum of their ages is 140, and Asaf is 50 years old, Alexander is 140-50 = <<140-50=90>>90 years old. The age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is 90-50 = <<90-50=40>>40 Since the age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is half the total number of pencils Asaf has, Asaf has 2*40 = <<2*40=80>>80 pencils. If Alexander has 60 more pencils than Asaf, Alexander has 80+60= <<60+80=140>>140 pencils. Together, they have 140 + 80 = <<140+80=220>>220 pencils #### 220 Jason is climbing a telephone pole next to a tree his friend Matt is climbing. Matt can climb 6 feet/minute and Jason can climb 12 feet per minute. After 7 minutes, how much higher will Jason be than Matt? First find the distance Matt climbs in 7 minutes: 6 feet/minute * 7 minutes = <<6*7=42>>42 feet Then find the distance Jason climbs in 7 minutes: 12 feet/minute * 7 minutes = <<12*7=84>>84 feet Then subtract the distance Matt climbs from the distance Jason climbs to find the difference: 84 feet - 42 feet = <<84-42=42>>42 feet #### 42 The house is 20.5 feet by 10 feet. The porch measures 6 feet by 4.5 feet. The house and the porch need shingles. How many square feet of shingles will be needed to roof the house and the porch? House = 20.5 * 10 = <<20.5*10=205>>205 square feet Porch = 6 * 4.5 = <<6*4.5=27>>27 square feet 205 + 27 = <<205+27=232>>232 square feet 232 square feet of shingles will be needed. #### 232 Aisha enjoys listening to music on her mp3 player. She starts with 500 songs on her mp3 player, then adds another 500 the week after that. She realizes her mp3 player has a large capacity for storing songs so she adds twice the amount she already had on her mp3 player. After a while, though, she decides that she doesn't like 50 of the songs and removes them. How many songs are on Aisha's mp3 player now? Aisha starts with 500 songs + 500 songs = <<500+500=1000>>1000 songs added to her mp3 player in the first two weeks. After that Aisha adds twice that amount to her mp3 player, 1000 x 2 = <<1000*2=2000>>2000 songs added. She now has 1000 + 2000 = <<1000+2000=3000>>3000 songs on her mp3 player. However, she decides she wants to remove 50 of them, 3000 - 50 = <<3000-50=2950>>2950 songs on her mp3 player. #### 2,950
