Carla adds a can of chilis, two cans of beans, and 50% more tomatoes than beans to a normal batch of chili. If she makes a quadruple batch, how many cans of food does she need?

First find the number of cans of tomatoes in a normal batch of chili: 2 cans * 150% =

<<2*150*.01=3>>3 cans Then add the number of cans of each type of food to find the total number of cans per batch: 3 cans + 2 cans + 1 can = <<3+2+1=6>>6 cans Then multiply the number of cans per batch by the number of batches to find the total number of cans: 6 cans/batch * 4 batches = <<6*4=24>>24 cans #### 24 Mona bikes 30 miles each week to stay fit. This week, she biked on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. On Wednesday, she biked 12 miles. On Saturday, she biked twice as far as on Monday. How many miles did she bike on Monday? Let M be the number of miles Mona biked on Monday. Thus, Mona biked 2M miles on Saturday. In all, Mona biked M + 2M + 12 = 30 miles. Thus, on Monday and Saturday, she biked M + 2M = 3M = 30 - 12 = 18 miles. Therefore, on Monday, Mona biked M = 18 / 3 = <<18/3=6>>6 miles. #### 6 Zoe ate a snack of 12 strawberries and 6 ounces of yogurt. If strawberries have 4 calories each and yogurt has 17 calories per ounce, how many calories did Zoe eat? Zoe ate 12 strawberries x 4 calories each = <<12*4=48>>48 calories. Zoe ate 6 ounces of yogurt x 17 calories per ounce = <<6*17=102>>102 calories. Zoe at a total of 48 calories + 102 calories = <<48+102=150>>150 calories. #### 150 Jenny has 6 Pokemon cards. Orlando has 2 more cards than Jenny. Richard has three times as many cards as Orlando. How many Pokemon cards do they have in all? Jenny has 6 cards. Orlando has 2 more cards than Jenny, so Orlando has 6 + 2 = 8 cards Richard has 3 times the number of cards Orlando has. so Richard has 8 * 3 = <<8*3=24>>24 cards Together, they have 6 + 8 + 24 = <<6+8+24=38>>38 cards #### 38 John reads his bible every day. He reads for 2 hours a day and reads at a rate of 50 pages an hour. If the bible is 2800 pages long how many weeks will it take him to read it all? He reads 2*50=<<2*50=100>>100 pages a day So he reads 7*100=<<7*100=700>>700 pages a week So it takes 2800/700=<<2800/700=4>>4 weeks #### 4 Cheryl got angry with her sister and decided to run away from home. She walked 2 miles every hour for 3 hours. Then she got homesick and walked back home. How many miles did Cheryl walk in total? Cheryl walked 2 miles x 3 hours = <<2*3=6>>6 miles. Once Cheryl was 6 miles away, she walked back home, another 6 miles, so she walked 6 + 6 = <<6+6=12>>12 miles. #### 12 Jess and her family play Jenga, a game made up of 54 stacked blocks in which each player removes one block in turns until the stack falls. The 5 players, including Jess, play 5 rounds in which each player removes one block. In the sixth round, Jess's father goes first. He removes a block, causing the tower to almost fall. Next, Jess tries to remove another block knocking down the tower. How many blocks did the tower have before Jess's turn? In each round, the 5 players removed a total of 5 * 1 = <<5*1=5>>5 blocks. In the 5 rounds played, the players removed a total of 5 * 5 = <<5*5=25>>25 blocks. Adding the block removed by Jess's father in the sixth round, a total of 25 + 1 = <<25+1=26>>26 blocks were removed. Before the tower fell, there were 54 - 26 = <<54-26=28>>28 blocks. #### 28 Jane is sewing sequins onto her trapeze artist costume. She sews 6 rows of 8 blue sequins each, 5 rows of 12 purple sequins each, and 9 rows of 6 green sequins each. How many sequins does she add total? First find the total number of blue sequins: 6 rows * 8 sequins/row = <<6*8=48>>48 sequins Then find the total number of purple sequins: 5 rows * 12 sequins/row = <<5*12=60>>60 sequins Then find the total number of green sequins: 9 rows * 6 sequins/row = <<9*6=54>>54 sequins Then add the number of each color of sequin to find the total number of sequins: 48 sequins + 60 sequins + 54 sequins = <<48+60+54=162>>162 sequins #### 162 James writes 10 pages an hour. If he writes 5 pages a day to 2 different people, how many hours a week does he spend writing? He writes 5*2=<<5*2=10>>10 pages a day So he writes 10*7=<<10*7=70>>70 pages a week That means he writes for 70/10=<<70/10=7>>7 hours #### 7 Mr. Alvarez spends $36 on diesel fuel each week. If the cost of diesel fuel is $3 per gallon, how many gallons of diesel fuel does Mr. Alvarez use in two weeks? In a week, Mr. Alvarez uses $36/$3 = <<36/3=12>>12 gallons a week. So in two weeks, he uses 12 x 2 = <<12*2=24>>24 gallons. #### 24
