Pauline has a garden with vegetables. In it, Pauline has planted 3 kinds of tomatoes - 5 of each kind, 5 kinds of cucumbers - 4 of each kind, and 30 potatoes. In the whole garden, there are 10 rows with 15 spaces in each to plant any vegetable. How many more vegetables could Pauline plant in her garden?

Pauline planted in total 3 * 5 =

<<3*5=15>>15 tomatoes. Pauline also planted 5 * 4 = <<5*4=20>>20 cucumbers. In total Pauline planted 15 + 20 + 30 = <<15+20+30=65>>65 different vegetables. The whole garden can be filled up with 10 * 15 = <<10*15=150>>150 different vegetables. So Pauline could plant 150 - 65 = <<150-65=85>>85 more vegetables in her garden. #### 85 John took a test with 80 questions. For the first 40 questions, she got 90% right. For the next 40 questions, she gets 95% right. How many total questions does she get right? He gets 40*.9=<<40*.9=36>>36 questions right for the first part. For the second part, he gets 40*.95=<<40*.95=38>>38 questions right. So he gets a total of 36+38=<<36+38=74>>74 questions right. #### 74 Tony goes on 5 rollercoasters while he is at the park. The first went 50 miles per hour. The second went 62 miles per hour. The third when 73 miles per hour. The fourth when 70 miles per hour. His average speed during the day was 59 miles per hour. How fast was the fifth coaster? The total speed of all five coasters is 295 because 59 x 5 = <<295=295>>295 The final coaster went 40 miles per hour because 295 - 50 - 62 - 73 - 70 = <<295-50-62-73-70=40>>40 #### 40 Brad's car broke down on an isolated road. At the time, Brad was traveling with Jim and Marcus. So, the three decided to push the car back into town, which was 10 miles away. For the first three miles, Brad steered as Jim and Marcus pushed at a speed of 6 miles per hour. Then, for the next 3 miles, Jim steered, as Brad and Marcus pushed at a speed of 3 miles per hour. For the last four miles, Marcus steered as Brad and Jim pushed at a speed of 8 miles per hour. How long did it take, in hours, to push the car back to town? Three miles at 6 miles per hour is 3/6=1/2 hours. Then, 3 miles at 3 miles per hour is 3/3=<<3/3=1>>1 hour. The last 4 miles at 8 miles per hour is 4/8=1/2 hour. In total, it took them 1/2 + 1 + 1/2 = <<1/2+1+1/2=2>>2 hours to push the car back to town. #### 2 Monica and Sheila are twins. Their mother gave them $50 and told them to buy some toilet paper and spend the remainder on groceries. The toilet paper cost $12. They bought apples, butter, eggs, and a large ham for twice the cost of the toilet paper. Since they still had some leftover money, they called their mother and she gave them permission to buy whatever they wanted for themselves as long as they shared the money evenly. They saw some boots they really liked, but a pair of boots costs 3 times the amount they had left. How much more would Monica and Sheila each have to add of their own money to buy two pairs of boots? The groceries cost $12 x 2 = $<<12*2=24>>24 Including the toilet paper, Monica and Sheila had already spent $12 + $24 = $<<12+24=36>>36 This means that they had $50 - $36 = $<<50-36=14>>14 left to spend on themselves. However, the boots cost $14 x 3 = $<<14*3=42>>42 per pair. Two pairs of boots would cost $42 x 2 = $<<42*2=84>>84 They need another $84 - $14 = $<<84-14=70>>70 to buy two pairs. Each of them needs to add another $70/2 = $<<70/2=35>>35 #### 35 Billy's family likes to keep their bicycles stored in the garage when they're not being used. They own a total of 4 bicycles. Each bicycle wheel has 10 spokes. How many spokes are inside the garage? Each bicycle has 2 wheels, so there are a total of 4*2=<<4*2=8>>8 wheels in the garage as there are 4 bicycles. Since each wheel has 10 spokes, this means there are 8*10=<<8*10=80>>80 spokes in total. #### 80 The largest animal to have ever lived on earth is the blue whale. The tongue of an adult blue whale can weigh 6000 pounds. If one ton is 2000 pounds, how many tons can the tongue of an adult blue whale weigh? 1000 pounds more than 5ooo pounds is 6000 pounds. If one ton is 2000 pounds, then the tongue of a blue whale weighs 6000/2000=<<6000/2000=3>>3 tons. #### 3 Tom spends $250 to buy gems in a game he plays. The game gives 100 gems for each dollar you spend. Since he bought so many gems he got a 20% bonus of more gems. How many gems did he end up with? He bought 250*100=<<250*100=25000>>25000 gems He got a 25,000*.2=<<25000*.2=5000>>5,000 gem bonus So he got a total of 25000+5000=<<25000+5000=30000>>30,000 gems #### 30,000 Arthur has 3 dogs. They eat an average of 15 pounds of food a week. One dog eats 13 pounds a week. The second eats double this. How much does the third dog eat a week? The second dog eats 26 pounds a week because 13 x 2 = <<13*2=26>>26 In total they eat 45 pounds because 3 x 15 = <<3*15=45>>45 The third dog eats 6 pounds a week because 45 - 13 - 26 = <<45-13-26=6>>6 #### 6 Jerry is sweeping up pieces of broken glass in the parking lot. He sweeps up 20 amber pieces, 35 green pieces, and some clear pieces. If the green pieces are 25% of the total glass he sweeps up, how many pieces were clear? First find the total number of glass pieces Jerry sweeps up: 35 green pieces / .25 = <<35/.25=140>>140 pieces Then subtract the number of pieces of other colors: 140 pieces - 20 pieces - 35 pieces = <<140-20-35=85>>85 pieces #### 85
