Kingsley's teacher instructed her to find four friends to help her carry some chairs to the school hall to be used for an upcoming event. If each student carried 5 chairs per trip and made 10 trips in total, what's the total number of chairs taken to the hall?

Kingsley and her four friends sum up to 4+1 =

<<4+1=5>>5 students carrying chairs. The number of chairs carried by each student after all the trips is 10*5 = <<10*5=50>>50 Since each student carried 50 chairs, the total number in the hall is 50*5 = <<50*5=250>>250 #### 250 Carly is trying to get in shape to try out for the soccer team. She starts by running 2 miles a week. The second week, she runs twice as long plus 3 extra miles per week. The third week she runs 9/7 as much as she ran the second week. The week after that, she sprains her ankle and has to reduce her running time by 5 miles per week. How many miles did she run the week she was injured? First find how long Carly runs the second week: 2 miles * 2 + 3 = <<2*2+3=7>>7 miles. Then find how long she runs in the third week: 9/7 * 7 miles = <<9/7*7=9>>9 miles. Then subtract the 5 miles reduction from when she was injured: 9 miles - 5 miles = <<9-5=4>>4 miles. #### 4 Maria bought a ticket to a ZOO. The regular price stands at $15, but she was able to get a 40% discount. How much did Maria pay for the ticket? The discount Maria got was 40/100 * 15 = $<<40/100*15=6>>6. That means the price for her ticket was 15 - 6 = $<<15-6=9>>9. #### 9 Joan is preparing sandwiches for a family potluck. She decides to make ham sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches. One ham sandwich requires 2 slices of cheese, and one grilled cheese sandwich requires 3 slices of cheese. She uses a total of 50 slices of cheese to make the sandwiches. If she makes 10 ham sandwiches, how many grilled cheese sandwiches does she make? The number of cheese slices used to make the ham sandwiches is 10 * 2 = <<10*2=20>>20 cheese slices. The number of cheese slices used to make the grilled cheese sandwiches is 50 - 20 = <<50-20=30>>30 cheese slices. The number of grilled cheese sandwiches she makes is 30 / 3 = <<30/3=10>>10 grilled cheese sandwiches. #### 10 If Tony normally has a temperature of 95 degrees, and he comes down with a sickness that raises his temperature by 10 degrees, how many degrees above the threshold of fever is his temperature if a fever is anything over 100 degrees? First, we find what Tony's temperature is by adding his normal temperature of 95 to the increase in temperature from the sickness of 10, performing 95+10=<<95+10=105>>105 degrees. Since the threshold for having a fever is 100, we subtract 100 from 105 to find out the answer, performing 105-100=<<105-100=5>>5 degrees above a fever. #### 5 Jeannie hikes the 12 miles to Mount Overlook at a pace of 4 miles per hour, and then returns at a pace of 6 miles per hour. How long did her hike take, in hours? Up, took 12/4=<<12/4=3>>3 hours. Down, took 12/6=<<12/6=2>>2 hours. Total time was 3+2=<<3+2=5>>5 hours. #### 5 Tim does 100 tasks a day. They each pay $1.2. If he works 6 days a week how much does he make a week? He makes 100*1.2=$<<100*1.2=120>>120 a day So he makes 120*6=$<<120*6=720>>720 #### 720 Dimitri eats 3 burgers per day. Each burger has a total of 20 calories. How many calories will he get after two days? The total number of calories he gets per day is 20 x 3 = <<20*3=60>>60. Therefore the total number of calories he will get after 2 days is 60 x 2 = <<60*2=120>>120. #### 120 Cowboy Mickey and cowgirl Minnie train horses for a living. On average, Mickey mounts six less than twice as many horses per day as does Minnie, while Minnie mounts three more horses per day than there are days in a week. How many horses does Mickey Mount per week? If Minnie mounts three more horses per day than there are days in a week, then Minnie mounts 7+3=<<3+7=10>>10 horses per day. Twice as many horses per day as Minnie mounts is 10*2=<<10*2=20>>20 horses per day. If Mickey mounts six less than twice as many horses per day as does Minnie, then Mickey mounts 20-6=<<20-6=14>>14 horses per day. Since there are 7 days in a week, then Mickey mounts 7*14=<<7*14=98>>98 horses per week. #### 98 A mother buys a box of sweets. She kept 1/3 of the sweets and divided the rest between her 3 children. The eldest got 8 sweets while the youngest got half as many. If there are 27 pieces of sweets in the box, how many sweets did the second child gets? The mother kept 27 x 1/3 = <<27*1/3=9>>9 pieces of sweets. So there were 27 - 9 = <<27-9=18>>18 sweets that were divided between the 3 children. The youngest child got 8/2 = <<8/2=4>>4 sweets. So the eldest and the youngest got a total of 8 + 4 = <<8+4=12>>12 sweets. Therefore, the second child gets 18 - 12 = <<18-12=6>>6 sweets. #### 6
