On each of 7 Mondays, it rained 1.5 centimeters. On each of 9 Tuesdays it rained 2.5 centimeters. How many more centimeters did it rain on Tuesdays than Mondays?

Mondays: 7 * 1.5 =

<<7*1.5=10.5>>10.5 Tuesdays: 9 * 2.5 = <<9*2.5=22.5>>22.5 22.5 - 10.5 = <<22.5-10.5=12>>12 cm It rained 12 centimeters more on Tuesdays than on Mondays. #### 12 Tom's fruit bowl contains 3 oranges and 6 lemons. After Tom eats 3 of the fruits, how many fruits remain in Tom's fruit bowl? Tom’s fruit bowl contains 3 + 6 = <<3+6=9>>9 fruits. After Tom eats 3 fruits, 9 - 3 = <<9-3=6>>6 fruits remain in the bowl #### 6 Sue is traveling from New York to San Francisco, 16 hours later after landing in New York from New Orleans. If the journey from New Orleans to New York took 3/4 times as much time as she takes to travel from New York to San Francisco, and she lands in San Francisco 24 hours later after departing from New York, calculate the total time she took to reach San Francisco from New Orleans? To travel from New Orleans to New York, Sue took 3/4 * 24 hours = <<3/4*24=18>>18 hours. If she stayed in New York for 16 hours, Sue's total time to travel from New Orleans to San Francisco is: 18 hours from New Orleans to New York + 16 hours in New York + 24 hours from New York to San Francisco = <<18+16+24=58>>58 hours. #### 58 Eden's mom is twice as old as Eden, who is twice as old as Devin. If Devin is 12 years old, what's the average age of the three? If Devin is 12 years old, then Eden is 2 * 12 years = 24 years old. Since Eden's mom two times older than Eden, her age is 24 years * 2 = <<24*2=48>>48 years. In total, they have 48 years + 24 years + 12 years = <<48+24+12=84>>84 years The average age for the three is 84 years / 3 people = <<84/3=28>>28 years/person #### 28 Carson is a night security guard. He's supposed to patrol the outside of a warehouse that's 600 feet long and 400 feet wide. If Carson is supposed to circle the warehouse 10 times, but gets tired and skips 2 times, how far does he walk in one night? First find the total distance Carson walks along the warehouse's long sides: 600 feet/side * 2 sides = <<600*2=1200>>1200 feet Then find the total distance Carson walks along the warehouse's short sides: 400 feet/side * 2 sides = <<400*2=800>>800 feet Add those two amounts to find the total distance walk in one circle: 1200 feet + 800 feet = <<1200+800=2000>>2000 feet Then find the number of circles Carson actually walks: 10 circles - 2 circles = <<10-2=8>>8 circles Then multiply the distance of one circle by the number of circles Carson makes: 2000 feet/circle * 8 circles = <<2000*8=16000>>16000 feet #### 16000 During her first year playing soccer, Tara's dad attended 90% of the games she played. In her second year playing soccer, Tara's dad attended 4 fewer games than he did in the previous year. If Tara played 20 games each year, how many games did Tara's dad attend in her second year playing soccer? In her first year, Tara's dad attended 20*0.9 = <<20*0.9=18>>18 games. Then, in her second year, Tara's dad attended 18 - 4 = <<18-4=14>>14 games. #### 14 The dinner bill for 6 friends came to $150. Silas said he would pay for half of the bill and the remaining friends could split the rest of the bill and leave a 10% tip for the whole meal. How many dollars will one of the friends pay? Silas paid half = 150/2 = <<150/2=75>>75 Remaining bill paid by 5 friends = 75 + 10% of 150 = 75 + 15 = 90 Each person will pay 1/5 which is 90/5 = <<90/5=18>>18 Each friend will pay $<<18=18>>18. #### 18 There were 21 dollars in the cookie jar. Doris spent $6 from the cookie jar. Martha spent half as much as Doris. How much money, in dollars, was left in the cookie jar? Martha spent 6/2=<<6/2=3>>3 dollars. Martha and Doris spent 6+3=<<6+3=9>>9 dollars. There were 21-9=<<21-9=12>>12 dollars left in the cookie jar. #### 12 Cally and Danny washed their clothes. Cally has 10 white shirts, 5 colored shirts, 7 pairs of shorts, and 6 pairs of pants, while Danny has 6 white shirts, 8 colored shirts, 10 shorts, and 6 pairs of pants. How many clothes did they wash? They washed 10 + 6 = <<10+6=16>>16 white shirts. They washede 5 + 8 = <<5+8=13>>13 colored shirts. They washed 7 + 10 = <<7+10=17>>17 shorts. They washed 6 + 6 = <<6+6=12>>12 pants. Therefore, Cally and Danny washed a total of 16 + 13 + 17 + 12 = <<16+13+17+12=58>>58 clothes. #### 58 A garden is filled with 105 flowers of various colors. There are twice as many red flowers as orange. There are five fewer yellow flowers than red. If there are 10 orange flowers, how many pink and purple flowers are there if they have the same amount and there are no other colors? The number of red flowers is twice as many as orange so 2 * 10 orange = <<2*10=20>>20 red flowers The number of yellow flowers is 5 less than red so 20 red - 5 = <<20-5=15>>15 yellow flowers The number of red, orange and yellow flowers is 20 red + 10 orange + 15 yellow = <<20+10+15=45>>45 flowers The number of pink and purple flowers total is 105 flowers total - 45 flowers that are not pink or purple = <<105-45=60>>60 flowers The number of pink and purple flowers each is 60 flowers / 2 = <<60/2=30>>30 flowers each #### 30
