Micah drank 1.5 liters of water in the morning. Then she drank three times that much water in the afternoon. How many liters of water did she drink from the morning until the afternoon?

Micah drank 1.5 x 3 =

<<1.5*3=4.5>>4.5 liters in the afternoon. She drank a total of 1.5 + 4.5 = <<1.5+4.5=6>>6 liters of water. #### 6 Mr. and Mrs. Hugo went on a road trip. On the first day, they traveled 200 miles. On the second day, they traveled 3/4 as far. On the third day, they traveled 1/2 as many miles as the first two days combined. How many miles did they travel for 3 days? On the second day, Mr. and Mrs. Hugo traveled 200 x 3/4 = <<200*3/4=150>>150 miles. They traveled a total of 200 + 150 = <<200+150=350>>350 miles in the first two days. On the third day, they traveled 350 x 1/2 = <<350*1/2=175>>175 miles. So, Mr. and Mrs. Hugo traveled a total of 200 + 150 + 175 = <<200+150+175=525>>525 miles for 3 days. #### 525 Paul earns $12.50 for each hour that he works. He then has to pay 20% for taxes and fees. After working 40 hours, Paul receives his paycheck. If he spends 15% of his paycheck on gummy bears, how much, in dollars, does he have left? His pay before taxes and fees is $12.50 x 40 hours = $<<12.5*40=500>>500. He pays $500 * 0.20 = $<<500*0.20=100>>100 for taxes and fees. Then he had $500 - $100 = $<<500-100=400>>400 remaining money. He takes out $400 * 0.15 = $<<400*0.15=60>>60 for his gummy bears. So he's left with $400 - $60 = $<<400-60=340>>340. #### 340 John is a door-to-door salesman. He visits 50 houses a day. 20% of them buy something from them. Of those that buy something half buy a $50 set of knives and the other half buy a $150 set of knives. How much does he sell a week when he works 5 days a week? There are 50*.2=<<50*.2=10>>10 houses buying from him per day Of those 10/2=<<10/2=5>>5 buy each type of knife set So he gets 5*50=$<<5*50=250>>250 per day from the cheap set He also gets 5*150=$<<5*150=750>>750 from the expensive set So he makes a total of 250+750=$<<250+750=1000>>1000 per day That means he makes 1000*5=$<<1000*5=5000>>5000 #### 5000 Joseph wants to go to Boston for a road trip. If he takes route A, it will take him 5 hours to arrive; but if he takes route B, it will only take him 2 hours to arrive at his destination. How much time will he save if he takes route B to Boston and back to his home? He will spend 5 x 2 = <<5*2=10>>10 hours if he takes route A. Meanwhile, he will spend 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 hours if he takes route B. Therefore, Joseph can save 10 - 4 = <<10-4=6>>6 hours if he takes route B both ways. #### 6 Elias uses a bar of soap every month. If each bar of soap costs $4, how much does he spend on bars of soap in two years? A year is 12 months, so Elias spends 4 * 12 = $<<4*12=48>>48 per year on bars of soap. In two years, he spends 2 * 48 = $<<2*48=96>>96 on bars of soap. #### 96 It’s exam season and Tristan has several exams to prepare for. On Monday, he studies for 4 hours then studies for twice this long on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday he studies for 3 hours each day. He wants to study for a total of 25 hours over the week and divides the remaining amount of study time evenly between Saturday and Sunday. How many hours does Tristan spend studying on Saturday? On Tuesday, Tristan studies twice as long as he did on Monday and this amounts to 4 hours * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 hours. So in the first 5 days of the week, he studies for a total of 4 hours Monday + 8 hours Tuesday + 3 hours Wednesday + 3 hours Thursday + 3 hours Friday = 21 hours. He therefore has 25 planned hours – 21 used hours = <<25-21=4>>4 hours left to study. As he splits his time evenly over 2 days, he spends 4 hours / 2 = <<4/2=2>>2 hours studying on Saturday. #### 2 Joe sells ham and cheese sandwiches for $1.50. If a slice of bread costs $0.15, a slice of ham costs $0.25 and a slice of cheese costs $0.35, how many cents does a sandwich with one slice of each protein cost Joe to make? First find the cost of two slices of bread: $0.15/slice * 2 slices = $<<0.15*2=0.30>>0.30 Then add the cost of one slice each of ham and cheese: $0.30 + $0.25 + $0.35 = $<<0.30+0.25+0.35=0.90>>0.90 #### 90 James was doing some shopping in his favorite shop and he saw an offer on shoes that give him a second pair of shoes for half off the original price. He took the offer and took the first pair of shoes for $40 and the second one for $60. At the cashier, the lady told him that the offer applies strictly to the cheaper pair of shoes, and also that he was selected for an extra discount of a fourth off the total amount. How much money did James end up paying for both pairs of shoes? The price of the cheaper pair after the discount was $40/2 = $<<40/2=20>>20 The total price of both pairs of shoes $20 + $60 = $<<20+60=80>>80 The final discount was $80/4 = $<<80/4=20>>20 The price he ends up paying was $80 - $20 = $<<80-20=60>>60 #### 60 Ragnar is a woodchopper. He can get 3 blocks of wood for every tree he cuts. If Ragnar chops 2 trees every day, how many blocks of woods does he get after 5 days? Ragnar gets 3 x 2= <<3*2=6>>6 blocks of wood every day. Therefore, the total number of blocks of woods he gets after 5 days is 6 x 5= <<6*5=30>>30. #### 30
