On Tuesday, a fruit vendor sold 2.5 dozen lemons and 5 dozens avocados. What is the total number of fruits that the fruit vendor sold?

Since 1 dozen is equal to 12, then the vendor sold 2.5 x 12 =

<<2.5*12=30>>30 lemons. While he sold 5 x 12 = <<5*12=60>>60 avocados. So, the fruit vendor sold a total of 30 + 60 = <<30+60=90>>90 fruits. #### 90 On a quiz, Martin answered three fewer questions correctly than Kelsey, and Kelsey answered eight more questions correctly than Campbell. If Campbell answered 35 questions correctly, how many did Martin answer correctly? Kelsey answered 35+8=<<35+8=43>>43 correctly. Martin answered 43-3=<<43-3=40>>40 correctly. #### 40 There are 250 books inside a library. On Tuesday, 120 books are taken out to be read by children. On Wednesday, 35 books are returned. On Thursday, another 15 books are withdrawn from the library. How many books are now in the library? On Tuesday, 120 books were taken out 250 - 120 = <<250-120=130>>130 books On Wednesday, 35 books were returned 130 + 35 = <<130+35=165>>165 books On Thursday, 15 books were borrowed 165 - 15 = 150 books #### 150 In a town, there is a multi-story parking lot, which has room for 425 cars. The parking lot has 5 levels, each of the same size. How many more cars can one level fit if there are already 23 parked cars on that level? When all levels are empty, each level can fit 425 / 5 = <<425/5=85>>85 cars. When there are already 23 parked cars on a level, there is still a place for 85 - 23 = 62 cars. #### 62 Luke is planning a trip to London and wants to see how long it will take him to travel there. He decides that he will take a bus to the town center, walk for 15 minutes to the train center, wait twice this long for the train to arrive, and then take the 6-hour train ride to London. If Luke’s entire trip takes him 8 hours, how many minutes does his bus ride take? Removing the time of the train ride from the journey shows that his trip to get on the train took him 8 hours – 6 hours = <<8-6=2>>2 hours. Converting this time into minutes shows that getting to the train took 2 hours * 60 minutes/hour = <<2*60=120>>120 minutes. Waiting for the train to arrive took twice as long as his walk, so 15 minutes * 2 = <<15*2=30>>30 minutes. This means that his bus ride must have taken 120 minutes – 30 minutes - 15 minutes = <<120-30-15=75>>75 minutes. #### 75 There are 14 more kittens than two times the number of puppies at the animal shelter. If there are 32 puppies at the shelter, how many kittens are there? Two times the number of puppies is 32*2=<<32*2=64>>64 kittens There are 64+14=<<64+14=78>>78 kittens #### 78 Mr. Johnson has a prescription with enough pills for 30 days. After four-fifths of the days, he has 12 pills left. How many pills is Mr. Johnson supposed to take a day if he takes the same dose daily? Mr. Johnson has been taking the pills for 30 * 4 / 5 = <<30*4/5=24>>24 days. He has 30 - 24 = <<30-24=6>>6 days left to finish the pills. Thus, Mr. Johnson is supposed to take 12 / 6 = <<12/6=2>>2 pills a day. #### 2 Rhonda, Sally, and Diane are members of their school's track team. The three of them run the 600-meter relay race together. Rhonda runs the first 200 meters of the race, Sally runs the second 200 meters of the race, and Diane runs the final 200 meters of the race. Rhonda can run 200 meters in 24 seconds. Sally takes two seconds longer to run the same distance, while Diane can run 200 meters three seconds faster than Rhonda. How many seconds does it take for the three of them to run the 600-meter relay race? Sally takes 24+2=<<24+2=26>>26 seconds. Diane takes 24-3=<<24-3=21>>21 seconds. Thus, the three take 24+26+21=<<24+26+21=71>>71 seconds to run the 600-meter relay race. #### 71 It takes 50 minutes to cut a woman's hair, 15 minutes to cut a man's hair, and 25 minutes to cut a kid's hair. If Joe cut 3 women's, 2 men's, and 3 children's hair, how much time did he spend cutting hair? He spent 3*50=<<3*50=150>>150 minutes cutting women's hair. He spent 2*15=<<2*15=30>>30 minutes cutting men's hair. He spent 3*25=<<3*25=75>>75 minutes cutting children's hair. He spent a total of 150+30+75=<<150+30+75=255>>255 minutes. #### 255 Leo had 400 marbles in a jar. He packed the marbles with ten marbles in each pack, and he gave some of them to his two friends, Manny and Neil. He gave Manny 1/4 of the number of packs of marbles, Neil received 1/8 of the number of packs of marbles, and he kept the rest. How many packs of marbles did Leo keep? Leo had 400/10 = <<400/10=40>>40 packs of marbles. He gave Manny 1/4 x 40 = <<1/4*40=10>>10 packs of marbles. And, Neil received 1/8 x 40 = <<1/8*40=5>>5 packs of marbles. Thus, Leo. gave a total of 10 + 5 = <<10+5=15>>15 packs of marbles. Therefore, Leo kept 40 - 15 = <<40-15=25>>25 packs of marbles. #### 25
