When he opened the third web page, he found 24 more ads than the number of ads on the second web page. If the fourth web page had 3/4 times as many ads as the second web page, calculate the total number of ads Vermont clicked on if he clicked on 2/3 of them. If Vermont found 12 ads on the first web page and twice as many ads on the second web page as the first web page, he found 12*2 = <<12*2=24>>24 ads on the second web page. The first and the second web page had a total of 12+24 =<<12+24=36>>36 Vermont also found 24 more ads on the third web page than the second web page, a total of 24+24 = <<24+24=48>>48 ads. The first three web pages had 48+36 = <<48+36=84>>84 ads The fourth web page had 3/4 times as many ads as the second web page, a total of 3/4*24 =<<3/4*24=18>>18 ads In all the web pages Vermont opened, he found 84+18 = <<84+18=102>>102 ads If he clicked on 2/3 of them, he clicked on 2/3*102=<<2/3*102=68>>68 ads. #### 68 Clara is climbing to the top of a historical tower with stone stairs. Each level has eight huge steps in the stairs. Every step is made up of three massive blocks of stone. By the time she reaches the top, she has climbed past 96 blocks of stone. How many levels are there in the tower? Clara climbed past 96 / 3 = <<96/3=32>>32 steps made up of 3 blocks of stone each. At 8 steps per level, there are 32 / 8 = <<32/8=4>>4 levels in the tower. #### 4 It takes 40 minutes to freeze ice cubes and 3 minutes per smoothie to turn them into smoothies once they're frozen. How long does it take to make 5 smoothies? First find the total time spend making the smoothies: 5 smoothies * 3 minutes/smoothie = <<5*3=15>>15 minutes Then add that amount of time to the time freezing the ice cubes to find the total time spent: 15 minutes + 40 minutes = <<15+40=55>>55 minutes #### 55 At a birthday party, 30% of the guests are married, 50% are single, and the rest are children. If there are 1000 guests, how many more married people are there than children? There are 1000 x 30/100 = <<1000*30/100=300>>300 people who are married. There are 1000 x 50/100 = <<1000*50/100=500>>500 people who are single. So, there are a total of 300 + 500 = <<300+500=800>>800 that are either married or single. This means, 1000 - 800 = <<1000-800=200>>200 are children. Therefore, there are 300 - 200 = <<300-200=100>>100 more married people than children. #### 100 James buys 5 packs of sodas that are 12 sodas each. He had 10 sodas already. He finishes all the sodas in 1 week. How many sodas does he drink a day? He bought 5*12=<<5*12=60>>60 sodas So he had 60+10=<<60+10=70>>70 sodas So he drank 70/7=<<70/7=10>>10 sodas per day #### 10 Mark has 30 candies, Peter has 25 candies, and John has 35 candies. They decided to combine their candies together and share them equally. How many candies will each one of them have? The total number of the candies is 30 + 25 + 35 = <<30+25+35=90>>90. When the candies are shared equally each one will get 90 / 3 = <<90/3=30>>30. #### 30 Anthony has 16 pets. This morning he forgot to lock the door and he lost 6 pets. After that 1/5 of his pets died from old age. How many pets does he have left? Anthony lost 6 pets, so he has 16 - 6 = <<16-6=10>>10 pets left. Then 1/5 * 10 = <<1/5*10=2>>2 died from old age. So, Anthony now has 10 - 2 = <<10-2=8>>8 pets. #### 8 In a spelling contest held in her school, Drew got 20 questions correct, winning her the competition. She got six questions wrong, and her compe***** Carla got 14 questions correct, and twice as many questions wrong as the number of questions Drew got wrong. If each compe***** was asked a different question, how many questions were asked in the competition? Since Drew got 20 questions right and 6 wrong, she was asked 20+6 = <<20+6=26>>26 questions. Carla got twice as many questions wrong as Drew got, a total of 2*6 = <<2*6=12>>12 questions wrong. The total number of questions that Carla was asked is 12+14 = <<12+14=26>>26. Altogether, there were 26+26 = <<26+26=52>>52 questions that were asked in the contest. #### 52 Horatio is a poet composing sonnets for his lady fair. He believes it will take many of his sonnets to win her over. Each sonnet is fourteen lines long. His lady fair tells him to leave her alone after he reads her only seven sonnets, and Horatio is heartbroken over the 70 romantic lines he wrote that she never heard. How many sonnets did Horatio write in all? Horatio never got to read 70 / 14 = <<70/14=5>>5 sonnets. He read his lady 7 sonnets, so he wrote 7 + 5 = <<7+5=12>>12 sonnets in all. #### 12
