Mr. Mitchell is buying pizzas for the soccer team. He buys one slice for every goal they scored on the season. A large pizza has 12 slices. If he bought 6 pizzas, and the team had 8 games, how many goals did they score per game on average?

They scored 72 goals because 6 x 12 =

<<6*12=72>>72 They scored 9 goals a game because 72 / 8 = <<72/8=9>>9 #### 9 The Giants baseball team is trying to make their league playoff. They have played 20 games and won 12 of them. To make the playoffs, they need to win 2/3 of their games over the season. If there are 10 games left, how many do they have to win to make the playoffs? There are 30 games total because 20 + 10 = <<20+10=30>>30 They need to win 20 games because 30 x (2/3) = <<30*(2/3)=20>>20 The need to win 8 more games because 20 - 12 = <<20-12=8>>8 #### 8 Emily just purchased 2 pairs of curtains for $30.00 each and 9 wall prints at $15.00 each. The store also offers an installation service. For $50.00 they will come to your house and professionally hang your curtains and prints. If Emily agrees to this service, how much will her entire order cost? She buys 2 pair of curtains for $30.00 each so that's 2*30 = $<<2*30=60.00>>60.00 She buys 9 wall prints at $15.00 each so that's 9*15 = $<<9*15=135.00>>135.00 The curtains cost $60.00, the prints are $135.00 and the installation service is $50.00 for a total of 60+135+50 = $<<60+135+50=245.00>>245.00 #### 245 Faith's neighborhood, with a total of 20 homes, decided to install solar panels. Each home needed 10 panels capable of providing their power needs. The supplier of the panels brought 50 panels less than the required amount. The neighbors agreed to only install the panels up to where they'd be finished. How many homes had their panels installed? The total number of panels required is 20*10 = <<20*10=200>>200 panels. When 50 failed to be delivered, the total number available for use became 200-50 = <<200-50=150>>150 panels. If each home requires 10 panels, the number of homes that had panels installed is 150/10 = <<150/10=15>>15 homes #### 15 Trey has 7 times as many turtles as Kris. Kris has 1/4 as many turtles as Kristen has. How many more turtles does Trey have than Kristen, if Kristen has 12? Kris has 12/4 = <<12/4=3>>3 turtles. Trey has 3*7 = <<3*7=21>>21 turtles. Trey has 21-12 = <<21-12=9>>9 more turtles than Kristen #### 9 There were 25 peaches in each basket. Five baskets of peaches were delivered to a market. The farmers have eaten 5 peaches. The remaining peaches are packed into smaller boxes of 15 each. How many boxes of peaches are there? The total number of peaches delivered to a market was 5 x 25 = <<5*25=125>>125. The remaining peaches after 5 were eaten was 150 - 5 = <<150-5=145>>145. So, there are 120/15 = <<120/15=8>>8 smaller boxes of peaches. #### 8 Erin is watching a TV mini series of Pride and Prejudice. There are 6 episodes that are each 50 minutes long. If Erin watches all of the episodes in one sitting, one after the other with no breaks, how many hours will she spend watching the series? The total minutes in the series is 6 * 50 = <<6*50=300>>300 minutes Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, Erin will spend 300 / 60 = <<300/60=5>>5 hours watching the series #### 5 Micah, Dean, and Jake are all training for a marathon organized by a local NGO to support children in their town who have cancer. Micah runs 2/3 times as fast as Dean. It takes Jake 1/3 times more time to finish the marathon than it takes Mica. If Dean takes 9 hours, what's the total time the three take to complete the marathon? If Dean takes 9 hours to finish the marathon, it takes Micah 2/3 * 9 hours = <<9*2/3=6>>6 hours to finish the marathon. It takes Jake 1/3 * 6 hours = <<1/3*6=2>>2 more hours to finish the marathon than Micah. Jake takes a total of 6 hours + 2 hours = <<6+2=8>>8 hours to finish the marathon. Micah, Dean, and Jake take a total of 8 hours + 6 hours + 9 hours = <<8+6+9=23>>23 hours to finish the marathon. #### 23 There are 8 red pens in Maria's desk drawer. There are 10 more black pens than red pens. There are also 7 more blue pens than red pens. How many pens are there in all? Maria has 8 + 10 = <<8+10=18>>18 black pens. Maria has 8 + 7 = <<8+7=15>>15 blue pens. Maria has 8 + 18 + 15 = <<8+18+15=41>>41 pens in total. #### 41 The new pad of paper has 120 pages. Sammy uses 25% of the pages for his science project, and another 10 pages for his math homework. How many pages remain in the pad? He used 0.25*120=<<0.25*120=30>>30 on science There were 120-30=<<120-30=90>>90 pages left And then he has 90-10=<<90-10=80>>80 after math. #### 80
