A farmer has 46 chickens. Each chicken gives him 6 eggs a week. If he sells a dozen eggs for $3, how much money would he make in 8 weeks?

The farmer gets 46 x 6 =

<<46*6=276>>276 eggs a week. That gives him 276/12 = <<276/12=23>>23 dozen eggs. In one week, he makes 23 x 3 = $<<23*3=69>>69 In 8 weeks, he makes $69 x 8 = $<<69*8=552>>552 #### 552 Trevor is currently 11 years old and his older brother is 20 years old. How old will Trevor be when his older brother is three times as old as Trevor is now? When Trevor is 11, his older brother will be 11 x 3 = <<11*3=33>>33 years old. Trevor’s older brother is 20 - 11 = <<20-11=9>>9 years older than Trevor. Since Trevor is 9 years younger, Trevor will be 33 - 9 = <<33-9=24>>24 years old. #### 24 Janet buys 45-pound containers of cat litter for $21 each. If her cat litter box holds 15 pounds of cat litter, and she changes out the litter weekly, how much will it cost, in dollars, for her to buy enough litter to last 210 days? If she changes the box weekly, then in 210 days, she will change the box 210/7=<<210/7=30>>30 times. At 15 pounds of litter for every box change, she will require 30*15=<<30*15=450>>450 pounds of cat litter in 210 days. If she buys 45-pound containers, then for 450 pounds she will need to buy 450/45=<<450/45=10>>10 containers of litter. At $21 per container, to buy enough cat litter for 210 days, it will cost 10 * $21 = $210 #### 210 Tony has $87. He needs to buy some cheese, which costs $7 a pound and a pound of beef that costs $5 a pound. After buying the beef and his cheese, he has $61 left. How many pounds of cheese did he buy? He spent $26 because 87 - 61 = <<87-61=26>>26 He spend $21 on cheese because 26 -5 = <<26-5=21>>21 He bought 3 pounds of cheese because 21 / 7 = <<21/7=3>>3 #### 3 Megan went to the store and bought a dozen eggs. When she got home, her neighbor gave her another dozen eggs from her chickens. Megan used 2 eggs to make an omelet for dinner and 4 eggs to bake a cake. When Megan's aunt came over for a visit, Megan gave her half of her remaining eggs. How many eggs per meal would Megan have if she plans to divide what she has left equally for her next 3 meals? Megan has 12 + 12 = <<12+12=24>>24 eggs After making her omelet and cake, she was left with 24 - 2 - 4 = <<24-2-4=18>>18 eggs After giving half to her aunt, she was left with 18/2 = <<18/2=9>>9 Megan would have 9/3 = <<9/3=3>>3 eggs per meal for the next three meals. #### 3 Six bottles of 2 liters of water cost $12. What is the price of 1 liter of water? Each bottle of 2 liters of water costs $12/6 = $<<12/6=2>>2. So the cost of 1 liter of water is $2/2 = $<<2/2=1>>1. #### 1 Don buys recyclable bottles in a small town. Shop A normally sells him 150 bottles, shop B sells him 180 bottles and Shop C sells him the rest. How many bottles does Don buy from Shop C if he is capable of buying only 550 bottles? Between Shop A and Shop B he buys 150 bottles+180 bottles=<<150+180=330>>330 bottles Thus he can buy 550 bottles-330 bottles=<<550-330=220>>220 bottles from shop C #### 220 Mark builds an apartment that is 16 by 10 feet. There are 6 rooms in total. All the rooms are the same size except the living room which is as big as 3 other rooms. How big is the living room? Total square footage is 16*10=<<16*10=160>>160 square feet There are 3+3=<<3+3=6>>6 rooms 6-1=<<6-1=5>>5 of them are the same size If x is the size of the normal room then the square footage of all rooms is 5x+3x=8x So each room is 160/8=<<160/8=20>>20 square feet So the living room is 20*3=<<20*3=60>>60 square feet #### 60 Michelle is bringing sandwiches to work to give to her co-workers. She gives 4 sandwiches to one of her co-workers and keeps twice this amount for herself. If she had originally made 20 sandwiches, how many sandwiches does she have left to give to her other co-workers? Michelle kept 4 sandwiches * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 sandwiches for herself. This leaves 20 total sandwiches – 4 sandwiches for a coworker – 8 sandwiches for herself = <<20-4-8=8>>8 sandwiches for her other co-workers. #### 8 10 people attended class on Monday, 15 on Tuesday, and 10 on each day from Wednesday through Friday. What was the average number of people who attended class each day? A total of 10 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 10 = <<10+15+10+10+10=55>>55 people attended class across the 5 days An average of 55 people / 5 days = <<55/5=11>>11 people per day attended class #### 11
