Drew is reseeding his lawn with grass seed. One bag of grass seed covers 250 square feet of lawn. His lawn is 22 feet from the house to the curb and 36 feet from side to side. He bought four bags of seed. How many extra square feet could the leftover grass seed cover after Drew reseeds his lawn?

Drew’s lawn is 22 * 36 =

<<22*36=792>>792 square feet. He bought enough grass seed to cover 250 * 4 = <<250*4=1000>>1000 square feet. Thus, the leftover grass seed can cover 1000 - 792 = <<1000-792=208>>208 square feet. #### 208 Aubrey is planting tomatoes and cucumbers in her garden. For each row of tomato plants, she is planting 2 rows of cucumbers. She has enough room for 15 rows of plants in total. There is enough space for 8 tomato plants in each row. If each plant produces 3 tomatoes, how many tomatoes will she have in total? Since one out of every 3 rows will contain tomato plants, there will be 15 / 3 = <<15/3=5>>5 rows of tomato plants. This gives her enough room to plant 5 rows * 8 plants/row = <<5*8=40>>40 tomato plants. The plants will produce a total of 40 * 3 = <<40*3=120>>120 tomatoes. #### 120 Kameron has 100 kangaroos on his large farm; Bert has 20 kangaroos on his farm. In how many more days will Bert have the same number of kangaroos as Kameron does now if he buys kangaroos at the same rate of 2 new kangaroos per day? If Kameron has 100 kangaroos, he has 100-20= <<100-20=80>>80 more kangaroos than Bert. Buying 2 kangaroos every day, it will take Bert 80/2=40 days to have the same number of kangaroos as Kameron has now. #### 40 How many shirts should Shenny pack for her next vacation if she's planning to use the same shirt when departing on Monday and returning on Sunday and two different shirts each other day? Between Monday and Sunday there are 7 days. If she will be using the same shirt for 2 days then she will need clothes for 7 - 2 = <<7-2=5>>5 days Because she wants to use 2 different shirts each of those 5 days then she needs 2 * 5 = <<2*5=10>>10 shirts In total she will need 10 shirts between Tuesday and Saturday and 1 shirt for Monday and Sunday = <<10+1=11>>11 shirts #### 11 A bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds and each individual ear of corn weighs .5 pounds. If Clyde picked 2 bushels of corn over the weekend, how many individual corn cobs did he pick? He picked 2 bushels of corn and each bushel weighs 56 pounds so he picked 2*56 = <<2*56=112>>112 pounds of corn Each ear of corn weighs .5 pounds and he has 112 pounds of corn so he picked 112/.5 = <<112/.5=224>>224 ears of corn #### 224 In a town where 60% of the citizens own a pet, half own a dog and 30 own a cat. How many citizens are in the town? Half the pet-owners have a cat because 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 There are 60 pet owners because 30 / (1/2) = <<30/(1/2)=60>>60 The town has 100 citizens because 60 / .6 = <<60/.6=100>>100 #### 100 Danny brings 3 watermelons to his family picnic. He cuts each watermelon into 10 slices. His sister brings 1 watermelon to the family picnic, and she cuts the watermelon into 15 slices. How many watermelon slices are there in total at the picnic? From Danny, there are 3 * 10 = <<3*10=30>>30 watermelon slices From his sister, there are 1 * 15 = <<1*15=15>>15 watermelon slices There are a total of 30 + 15 = <<30+15=45>>45 watermelon slices #### 45 Alden's family invited their relatives for a family reunion on Christmas eve. There were 50 more female adults than male adults, and children were twice the total number of adults. If there were 100 male adults, how many people attended the family reunion? If the number of female adults was 50 more than the males, then there were 100+50 = <<100+50=150>>150 females. The total number of adults is 150+100 = <<150+100=250>>250 The children were twice the total number of adults, thus 2*250 = <<2*250=500>>500 The total number of people at the family reunion is 500+250 = <<500+250=750>>750 #### 750 Jill and Bob want to finally buy a house for themselves, so they went with a real estate agent to see some houses before making a decision. The first house was not too far from their work and the price was accessible. The second house was really big and Jill loved it but was twice as expensive as the first one and was way over their budget. They ended up buying the first one, knowing that the price of both houses altogether is $600,000. How much did Jill and Bob end up paying for their new house? Let C be the cost of the first house The cost of the second house is 2C The cost of the two houses together is C + 2C = $600,000 3C=$600,000 C=$600,000 / 3 = $<<600000/3=200000>>200,000 #### 200,000 If Janet reads 80 pages a day and Belinda reads 30 pages a day, how many more pages does Janet read in 6 weeks? First find the total number of days in 6 weeks: 6 weeks * 7 days/week = <<6*7=42>>42 days Then find the total difference in the number of pages Janet and Belinda read each day: 80 pages/day - 30 pages/day = <<80-30=50>>50 pages/day Then multiply the daily difference by the number of days to find the total difference in the number of pages they read: 50 pages/day * 42 days = <<50*42=2100>>2100 pages #### 2100
