Voltaire and Leila are vloggers, Voltaire has an average of 50 viewers per day while Leila has twice the number of viewers Voltaire has. If they earn $0.50 per view, how much does Leila earn per week?
Leila has 50 x 2 =
<<50*2=100>>100 viewers per day. So, she earns 100 x $0.50 = $<<100*0.5=50>>50 per day. Therefore, Leila earns $50 x 7 = $<<50*7=350>>350 every week. #### 350 Janet lives in a city built on a grid system. She walks 3 blocks north, then seven times as many blocks west. Then she turns around and walks 8 blocks south and twice as many blocks east in the direction of her home. If Janet can walk 2 blocks/minute, how long will it take her to get home? First, find the total number of blocks south Janet is from her starting point by subtracting the blocks she walked north from the blocks she walked south: 8 blocks - 3 blocks = <<8-3=5>>5 blocks Then find the number blocks she walked west: 3 blocks * 7 = <<3*7=21>>21 blocks Then find the number of blocks she walked east: 8 blocks * 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 blocks Subtract the number of blocks she walked east from the number of blocks she walked west to find how many blocks west of her starting point she is: 21 blocks - 16 blocks = <<21-16=5>>5 blocks Add the number of blocks she needs to walk north to the number of blocks she needs to walk east: 5 blocks + 5 blocks = <<5+5=10>>10 blocks Finally, divide the distance she needs to walk by her speed to find how long she'll spend walking: 10 blocks / 2 blocks/minute = <<10/2=5>>5 minutes #### 5 Lucas went to the store with $20 and needed to buy 3 avocados that cost $2 each. How much change does he bring home? The avocados cost 6 because 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 He brings home $4 in change because 20 - 6 =<<20-6=14>>14 #### 14 9 years from now, John will be 3 times as old as he was 11 years ago. How old is he now? Let J represent John’s age. We have J + 9 = 3(j − 11) So, J + 9 = 3J − 33 So, 9 = 2J − 33 So, 42 = 2J Which means that John’s age is J = 42 / 2 = <<42/2=21>>21 #### 21 A conference center has six rooms. Each room can hold up to 80 people. Today, the conference center is only 2/3 full. How many people are in the conference center? The conference center can hold up to 80 x 6 = <<80*6=480>>480 people. Today, there are 480 x 2/3 = <<480*2/3=320>>320 people in the conference center. #### 320 Dallas and Austin went to the pick-your-own orchard. Dallas picked 14 bags of apples and 9 bags of pears. Austin picked 6 bags of apples more than Dallas, and 5 fewer bags of pears than Dallas. How many bags of fruit did Austin pick, in total? He picked 14+6=<<14+6=20>>20 bags of apples. He picked 9-5=<<9-5=4>>4 bags of pears. He picked 20+4=<<20+4=24>>24 bags of fruit in total. #### 24 Luther designs clothes for a high fashion company. His latest line of clothing uses both silk and cashmere fabrics. There are ten pieces made with silk and half that number made with cashmere. If his latest line has thirteen pieces, how many pieces use a blend of cashmere and silk? Luther has 10 / 2 = <<10/2=5>>5 pieces made with cashmere. He has 13 - 10 = <<13-10=3>>3 pieces made without silk using only cashmere. Thus, Luther has 5 - 3 = <<5-3=2>>2 pieces made using a blend of cashmere and silk. #### 2 Jordan gave Danielle two dozen roses and a box of chocolates as a birthday day gift. Later that day, after Jordan left, Danielle traded the box of chocolates for another dozen roses. Overnight, half of the roses wilted, and Danielle decided to throw the wilted flowers away. On the second day, another half of the remaining flowers wilted, and she threw the wilted ones away. How many unwilted flowers remained? Danielle started with two dozen roses, or a total of 2*12=<<2*12=24>>24 roses. Her trade added another dozen roses, for a total of 12+24=<<12+24=36>>36 roses. The first night, half of the roses wilted, leaving 36/2=<<36/2=18>>18 roses. On the second night, again half of the remaining roses wilted, leaving 18/2=<<18/2=9>>9 unwilted roses. #### 9 Linda was gathering eggs from her chicken coops. When she was done, she had three times as many white eggs as brown eggs. On her way back to the house, she stumbled, dropping her egg basket. Upon inspecting the damage, she found that all 5 of the brown eggs survived, but now she only had a dozen eggs left. How many eggs did Linda break? Linda has 12 eggs left, 5 of which are brown, so 12 - 5 = <<12-5=7>>7 are white. Linda originally had 3 times as many white eggs as brown eggs, or 3 * 5 = <<3*5=15>>15 white eggs. So Linda broke 15 - 7 = <<15-7=8>>8 white eggs. #### 8 The teacher decided to rewards his students with extra recess on report card day if they got good grades. Students normally get 20 minutes for recess. He told the students that every A got them 2 extra minutes of recess. Every B got them one extra minute. Every C got them zero extra minutes, but every D got them 1 less minute. When report cards came out there were 10 As, 12 Bs, 14Cs, and 5Ds. In total, how much recess would the students get that day? The students have 20 minutes to start. They get 20 minutes added for the As because 10 times 2 equals <<10*2=20>>20 They get 12 minutes added for the Bs because 12 times 1 equals <<12*1=12>>12 They get no minutes added or subtracted for the Cs because 14 times 0 equals 0. They get 5 minutes taken away for the Ds because 5 times 1 equals <<5*1=5>>5. In total, they get 47 minutes of recess because 20 plus 20 plus 12 minus 5 equals <<20+20+12-5=47>>47. #### 47
