Jace drives 60 miles per hour. If Jace drives for 4 hours straight, take a 30-minute break, and then drives for another 9 hours straight, how many miles will he travel?
Jace drives a total of 4+9 =
<<4+9=13>>13 hours. Jace will travel 60*13 = <<60*13=780>>780 miles. #### 780 George went to a movie theater to see a movie. He paid $16 for the ticket and decided to buy some nachos. The nachos were half the price of the ticket. How much did George pay in total for the visit to the movie theater? The nachos cost was 16 / 2 = $<<16/2=8>>8. So in total George paid 8 + 16 = $<<8+16=24>>24 during the whole visit. #### 24 Bald Mountain received 1.5 meters of snow last week. During a blizzard, Billy Mountain received 3.5 meters of snow and Mount Pilot received 126 centimeters of snow. How many more centimeters of snow did Billy Mountain and Mount Pilot have then Bald Mountain? Bald Mountain = 1.5 * 100 = <<1.5*100=150>>150 cm Billy Mountain = 3.5 * 100 = <<3.5*100=350>>350 cm Mount Pilot = <<126=126>>126 cm Billy + Pilot = 350 + 126 = <<350+126=476>>476 cm 476 - 150 = <<476-150=326>>326 cm Billy Mountain and Mount Pilot received 326 more centimeters of snow than Bald Mountain. #### 326 Each of the three Morales sisters owns an orange grove that has 110 trees. Each orange tree produces medium-sized oranges. At harvest time, Gabriela's grove produced 600 oranges per tree, while Alba harvested 400 per tree. Each of Maricela's trees produced 500 oranges. With such a huge harvest, the sisters are thinking of making orange juice for sale. If it takes three medium-sized oranges to make 1 cup of juice, and then they sell each cup for $4, how much money will they make? Gabriela's grove produced 600 oranges/tree * 110 trees = <<600*110=66000>>66000 oranges Alba’s grove produced 400 oranges/tree * 110 trees = <<400*110=44000>>44000 oranges Maricela's trees produced 500 oranges/tree * 110 trees= <<500*110=55000>>55000 oranges. The Morales sisters therefore harvested a total of 66000 oranges + 44000 oranges + 55000 oranges = <<66000+44000+55000=165000>>165000 oranges The oranges will therefore yield 165000 oranges/3 oranges/cup = <<165000/3=55000>>55000 cups of juice Total sales will be 55000 cups * $4/cup = $<<55000*4=220000>>220000 #### 220000 Toby wants to walk an average of 9,000 steps per day over the next week. On Sunday he walked 9,400 steps. On Monday he walked 9,100 steps. On Tuesday he walked 8,300 steps. On Wednesday he walked 9,200 steps. On Thursday he walked 8,900 steps. How many steps does he need to average on Friday and Saturday to meet his goal? He needs to walk 63,000 steps in a week because 7 x 9,000 = <<7*9000=63000>>63,000 He has 18,100 steps to walk on Friday and Saturday because 63,000 - 9,400 - 9,100 - 8,300 - 9,200 - 8,900 = <<63000-9400-9100-8300-9200-8900=18100>>18,100 He needs to walk an average of 9,050 on Friday and Saturday because 18,100 / 2 = <<18100/2=9050>>9,050 #### 9,050 John is an eccentric millionaire. He decides to fill his swimming pool with bottled water. A cubic foot of water is 25 liters. His pool is 10 feet deep and 6 feet by 20 feet. A liter of water costs $3. How much does it cost to fill the pool? The pool is 10*6*20=<<10*6*20=1200>>1200 cubic feet That means it is 25*1200=<<25*1200=30000>>30000 liters So it cost 3*30,000=$<<3*30000=90000>>90,000 #### 90000 Mark wants to have a water balloon fight with his friends. He goes to the store to buy balloons and sees that they sell small bags for $4, medium bags for $6 and extra large bags for $12. He has $24 and wants to get the most balloons as possible. If the $4 bags contain 50 balloons, the $6 bags contain 75 balloons and the $12 bags contain 200 balloons, what is the greatest number of balloons he can buy? He can buy 6 small bags because 24 / 4 = <<24/4=6>>6 These give him 300 balloons, because 6 x 50 = <<6*50=300>>300 He can buy 4 medium bags because 24 / 6 = <<24/6=4>>4 These give him 300 balloons because 4 x 75 = <<4*75=300>>300 He can buy 2 extra large bags because 24 / 12 = <<24/12=2>>2 This gives him 400 balloons because 2 x 200 = <<2*200=400>>400 400 is the most he can buy because 400 is greater than 300 #### 400 The math teacher would be happy if the class average test score was at least 85. There are 10 students in the class, 5 of which scored a 92 on the test and 4 of which scored an 80. What would the last student have to score to at least make the teacher happy? 5 students scored a combined total of 92 * 5 = <<92*5=460>>460 4 additional students scored a combined total of 80 * 4 = <<80*4=320>>320 9 students therefore scored a combined total of 460 + 320 = <<460+320=780>>780 We know the total combined score for 10 students must be at least 85 average * 10 students = <<85*10=850>>850 Therefore, the last student must score at least an 850 - 780 = <<850-780=70>>70 #### 70 Milo's parents tell him that he can win cash rewards for good grades. He will get $5 times the average grade he gets. He gets three 2s, four 3s, a 4, and a 5. How much cash does he get? His total score is 27 because (3 x 2) + (4 x 3) + 4 + 5 = <<3*2+4*3+4+5=27>>27 His total number of grades is 9 because 3 + 4 +1 +1 = <<3+4+1+1=9>>9 His average grade is a 3 because 27 / 9 = <<27/9=3>>3 He earns $15 because 5 x 3 = <<5*3=15>>15 #### 15 Charley has a bag that contains 51 white beads and 90 black beads. He reaches in the bag and pulls out 1/6 of the black beads and a third of the white beads. How many beads in total did Charley pull out? Charley pulled out 90/6 = <<90/6=15>>15 black beads. Charley pulled out 51/3 = <<51/3=17>>17 white beads. Charley pulled out 15+17 = <<15+17=32>>32 beads in total. #### 32
