Rhea buys 2 trays of eggs every week for her family. Her son and daughter eat 2 eggs every morning, and Rhea and her husband eat 4 eggs every night. If each tray has 24 eggs, how many eggs are not being eaten every week?

Rhea buys a total of 24 x 2 =

<<24*2=48>>48 eggs every week. Her son and daughter eat 2 x 7 = <<2*7=14>>14 eggs every week. Rhea and her husband eat 4 x 7= <<4*7=28>>28 eggs every week. So, the total eggs they eat is 28 + 14 = <<28+14=42>>42. Therefore, the total number of eggs that are not being eaten is 48 - 42 = <<48-42=6>>6. #### 6 Charley bought 30 pencils. She lost 6 pencils while moving to school, and of course, also lost 1/3 of the remaining pencils because she wasn't very good at keeping track of pencils. How many pencils does she currently have? If Charley bought 30 pencils and lost 6 while moving, she remained with 30-6=<<30-6=24>>24 pencils. Because she isn't good at keeping track of her pencils, Charley lost 1/3*24 = <<1/3*24=8>>8 more pencils. She currently has 24-8 = <<24-8=16>>16 pencils. #### 16 Aunt Angela has 70 jellybeans in a jar. She wants to divide them equally and give them to her 3 nephews and 2 nieces. How many jellybeans did each nephew or niece receive? Aunt Angela has a total of 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 nephews and nieces. She gave each nephew or niece 70 / 5 = <<70/5=14>>14 jellybeans. #### 14 Felicia is baking a cake. She needs 2 cups of flour, a cup of white sugar, a 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and a 1/2 cup of oil. Her only measuring scoop is 1/4 cup. How many times does she fill it to complete the measurements? She fills it 8 times for the flour because 2 / (1/4) =<<2/(1/4)=8>>8 She fills it 4 times for the white sugar because 1 / (1/4) = <<1/(1/4)=4>>4 She fills is 2 times for the oil because (1/2) / (1/4) = <<(1/2)/(1/4)=2>>2 She fills it 1 time for the brown sugar because she needs exactly 1/4 of a cup She fills is 15 times because 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 equals <<8+4+2+1=15>>15 #### 15 The spacecraft Gibraltar is a mountain-sized intergalactic vehicle for transporting equipment, building materials, and families to establish colonies on far-away planets. At full capacity, the vehicle can carry 300 family units with four people per family. The space flight is expected to take years, and it is expected that the size of families will grow during the space voyage. Therefore, when the spacecraft leaves the earth, it will carry 100 people less than one-third of the ship's capacity. How many people will be on the ship to start the journey? The full capacity of the ship is 300 * 4 = <<300*4=1200>>1200 people. One-third of capacity is 1200/3 = <<1200/3=400>>400 people. 100 less than one-third capacity is 400 - 100 = 300 people. #### 300 Tilly needs to sell 100 bags at $10 per bag to make $300 in profit. How much did she buy each bag for? Tilly will make 100 x $10 = $<<100*10=1000>>1000 in total She has spent $1000 - $300 = $<<1000-300=700>>700 on 100 bags Each bag cost Tilly $700 / 100 = $<<700/100=7>>7 #### 7 Billy can spit a watermelon seed 30 inches. Madison can spit a watermelon seed 20% farther than Billy. Ryan can spit a watermelon seed 50% shorter than Madison. How far can Ryan spit a watermelon seed? Madison can spit a seed 20% farther than Billy's 30 inches so that's .20*30 = <<20*.01*30=6>>6 inches farther Billy spits a seed 30 inches and Madison can spit 6 inches farther for a total of 30+6 = <<30+6=36>>36 inches Ryan can spit a seed 50% shorter than Madison's 36 inches for a total of .50*36 = <<50*.01*36=18>>18 inches #### 18 Rachel is twice as old as Rona and Collete's age is half the age of Rona's. If Rona is 8 years old, what is the difference between the age of Collete and Rachel? Rachel's age is 8 x 2 = <<8*2=16>>16. Collete's age is 8 / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4. Therefore the difference between their age is 16 - 4 = <<16-4=12>>12. #### 12 A housewife goes to the market. She spent 2/3 of her $150. How much does she have left? The housewife has 3/3 - 2/3 = 1/3 of $150 left. This means she has $150 * (1/3) = $<<150*(1/3)=50>>50 left. #### 50 Marla has to spend 20 minutes driving one way to her son's school, then 70 minutes attending parent-teacher night, then the same amount of time driving home. How many minutes does Marla spend on this errand in total? First multiply Marla's one-way driving time by 2 to find her total driving time: 20 minutes * 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 minutes Then add Marla's driving time to the time spent attending the conference to find the total time: 70 minutes + 40 minutes = <<70+40=110>>110 minutes #### 110
