Wilma has a garden with 3 types of flowers. The garden has 6 rows, with 13 flowers in each row. Wilma has 12 yellow flowers, two times more green flowers, and the rest consist of red flowers. How many red flowers does Wilma have?
The garden has space for 6 * 13 =
<<6*13=78>>78 flowers in total. Wilma has two times more green flowers than yellow flowers, which means she has 2 * 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 green flowers. That leaves us with 78 - 24 - 12 = <<78-24-12=42>>42 red flowers in the garden. #### 42 Jamie owns 4 Persian cats and 2 Maine Coons. Gordon owns half as many Persians and one more Maine Coon than Jamie. Hawkeye owns one less Maine Coon than Gordon and no Persian cats. If they bring all of their cats together to play, how many cats are there in total? Gordon has 4 / 2 = <<4/2=2>>2 Persians. Gordon has 2 + 1 = <<2+1=3>>3 Maine Coons. Hawkeye has 3 - 1 = <<3-1=2>>2 Maine Coons. In total, they have 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 0 = <<4+2+2+3+2+0=13>>13 cats. #### 13 Connie redeemed all her arcade tickets today. She spent half of them on a stuffed koala bear. She spent 10 tickets on a pair of earbuds. She spent another 15 tickets on glow bracelets. How many tickets did Connie redeem today? Connie spent 10 tickets on earbuds + 15 tickets on glow bracelets = <<10+15=25>>25 tickets. Since Connie spends half of her tickets on a stuffed koala bear, that means the 25 tickets she spent on earbuds and glow bracelets is the other half, so she spent 25 tickets on the stuffed koala bear. In all, Connie spent 25 tickets on earbuds and glow bracelets + 25 tickets on a stuffed koala bear = <<25+25=50>>50 tickets. #### 50 James can buy a new computer for $600 and have it last 6 years, or buy 2 used computers for $200 each that each last 3 years. How much money will he save by picking the cheaper option? First find the cost of the two used computers: $200/computer * 2 computers = $<<200*2=400>>400 Then subtract that cost from the cost of the new computer to find the savings: $600 - $400 = $<<600-400=200>>200 #### 200 Debra is the host of a country music radio show, and she broadcasts interviews with celebrity country music singers. Each week, she interviews three singers, one at a time. The first interview segment is always twice as long as the other two segments combined, and the third interview segment is always half as long as the second. If the third segment is 10 minutes long, how many minutes long is the entire show? If the third segment is half as long as the second, then the second segment is twice as long as the third, or 10*2=<<10*2=20>>20 minutes long. The first segment is twice as long as the other two combined, or 2*(10+20)=<<2*(10+20)=60>>60 minutes. Thus, in total, the show is 10+20+60=<<10+20+60=90>>90 minutes long. #### 90 Olly wants to get shoes to protect his pets’ paws. He owns 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a ferret. How many shoes does he need? All the animals have 4 legs. His 3 dogs will need 3 * 4 = <<3*4=12>>12 shoes. His 2 cats will need 2 * 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 shoes. His ferret will need 1 * 4 = <<1*4=4>>4 shoes. Olly will need 12 + 8 + 4 = <<12+8+4=24>>24 shoes. #### 24 Emma traveled by car 280 miles in 2 hours 20 minutes. What was the average speed of the car in miles per hour? We first convert the time of 4 hours 20 minutes in minutes 2 hours 20 minutes = 2 × 60 + 20 = 140 minutes Average speed S is given by distance / time. Hence S = 280 miles / 140 minutes = <<280/140=2>>2 mile / minute There are 60 minutes in an hour so the speed is 2*60=120 miles/hour #### 120 In a class of 300 students, the number of smoking teens is 40% of the class. In a year, 70% of the smoking students are hospitalized from smoking-related complications. Calculate the total number of smoking students from the class who have not been hospitalized from smoking-related complications. If the class has 300 students, there are 40/100*300 = <<40/100*300=120>>120 smoking students. In a year, 70% of the smoking students are hospitalized from smoking-related complications, a total of 70/100*120 = <<70/100*120=84>>84 students. The number of smoking students who've not been hospitalized from smoking-related complications is 120-84 = <<120-84=36>>36 #### 36 Mary is making a model sailboat. She wants to add three sails: a rectangular sail that measures 5 inches by 8 inches and two right triangular sails, one that's 3 inches long at the bottom and 4 inches tall and one that's 4 inches long at the bottom and 6 inches tall. (Remember you can find the area of a triangle by dividing the area of a square with the same height and length by 2). How many square inches of canvas does she need total? First find the area of the square sail: 5 inches * 8 inches = <<5*8=40>>40 square inches Then find the area of a square sail with the same height and length as the first triangular sail: 3 inches * 4 inches = <<3*4=12>>12 square inches Then divide the area in two to find the area of the triangular sail: 12 square inches / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 square inches Then find the area of a square sail with the same height and length as the second triangular sail: 4 inches * 6 inches = <<4*6=24>>24 square inches Then divide the area in two to find the area of the triangular sail: 24 square inches / 2 = <<24/2=12>>12 square inches Then add up the areas of all the sails to find the total amount of canvas needed: 12 square inches + 6 square inches + 40 square inches = <<12+6+40=58>>58 square inches #### 58 The movie theater sells matinee tickets for $5, evening tickets for $12, and 3D tickets for $20. If they sell 200 matinee tickets, 300 evening tickets and 100 3D tickets, how much money do they make in total? First find the total revenue from the matinee tickets: $5/ticket * 200 tickets = $<<5*200=1000>>1000 Then find the total revenue from the evening tickets: $12/ticket * 300 tickets = $<<12*300=3600>>3600 Then find the total revenue from the 3D tickets: $20/ticket * 100 tickets = $<<20*100=2000>>2000 Then add the cost of each group of tickets to find the total cost: $1000 + $3600 + $2000 = $<<1000+3600+2000=6600>>6600 #### 6600
