John paints a giant mural that is 6m by 3m. The paint costs $4 per square meter. The artist can paint 1.5 square meters per hour and charges $10 per hour. How much does the mural cost?

The mural is 6*3=

<<6*3=18>>18 sq meters So the paint cost 18*4=$<<18*4=72>>72 The artist works for 18/1.5=<<18/1.5=12>>12 hours He charges 12*10=$<<12*10=120>>120 So the total cost is 120+72=$<<120+72=192>>192 #### 192 Tino has 24 more jellybeans than Lee. Arnold has half as many jellybeans as Lee. If Arnold has 5 jellybeans, how many jellybeans does Tino have? Lee has 5*2=<<5*2=10>>10 jellybeans. Tino has 10+24=<<10+24=34>>34 jellybeans. #### 34 Melinda is taking a 1200-mile trip with her family to visit their cousins. How much time will they save if they drive 60 miles an hour instead of 50 miles an hour? Going 60 mph, the trip would take 1200-mile trip / 60 miles an hour = <<1200/60=20>>20 hours. Going 50 mph, the trip would take 1200-mile trip / 50 miles an hour = <<1200/50=24>>24 hours. Melinda’s family would save 24 – 20 = <<24-20=4>>4 hours. #### 4 Sandra's dog gave birth to 7 puppies. Her vet gave her 105 portions of formula to give to the puppies for 5 days. How many times a day should Sandra feed the puppies? Each day, Sandra will have 105/5 = <<105/5=21>>21 portions of formula. Each puppy needs to be fed 21/7 = <<21/7=3>>3 times a day. #### 3 Carmela has $7 and each of her four cousins has $2. How much will Carmela have to give to each of her cousins so that she and her cousins will have the same amount of money? Carmela's four cousins have a total of $2 x 4 = $<<2*4=8>>8. The total money they all have is $7 + $8 = $<<7+8=15>>15. There will be 1 (Carmela) + 4 (cousins) = <<1+4=5>>5 people who will be sharing equally the money. So each of them should get $15/5 = $<<15/5=3>>3. Hence, Carmela has to give a total of $7 - $3 = $<<7-3=4>>4 to her 4 cousins. Therefore, each of her cousins will get $4/4 = $<<4/4=1>>1. #### 1 To get to the library, Jill spends 12 minutes waiting for her first bus, 30 minutes riding on her first bus, and half the combined wait and trip time on her second bus. How many minutes does her second bus ride take? First add the time spent waiting for the first bus to the time spent on it: 12 minutes + 30 minutes = <<12+30=42>>42 minutes Then divide that time by 2 to find the time she spends on the second bus: 42 minutes / 2 = <<42/2=21>>21 minutes #### 21 Liam and Claire picked and sold oranges to save for their mother's birthday gift. Liam picked 40 oranges and sold them at $2.50 for 2 while Claire picked 30 oranges and sold them at $1.20 each. If all of their oranges were sold, how much are they going to save for their mother's birthday gift? Liam sold 40/2 = <<40/2=20>>20 sets of oranges that cost $2.50 for each set. So, Liam earned $2.50 x 20 = $<<2.5*20=50>>50. Claire earned $1.20 x 30 = $<<1.20*30=36>>36. Thus, they were able to save $50 + $36 = $<<50+36=86>>86 for their mother's birthday gift. #### 86 Samuel is going to the cinema with his brother, Kevin. They both have a total budget of $20 for their outing. Samuel buys his $14 ticket, then spends $6 on drinks and food. Kevin buys his ticket, then spends $2 on drinks. They have both used their entire budget. How much did Kevin spend on food? We know Kevin bought a ticket and drinks, and this cost him 14 + 2 = <<14+2=16>>16 dollars. Since Kevin spent his entire budget, his food must have cost 20 – 16 = <<20-16=4>>4 dollars. #### 4 The fisherman gets 8 Red snappers and 14 Tunas every day. If a Red snapper costs $3 and a Tuna costs $2, how much does he earn every day? The fisherman earns $3 x 8 = $<<3*8=24>>24 per day on Red snappers. He earns $2 x 14 = $<<2*14=28>>28 per day on Tunas. Therefore, the total amount he earns is $24 + $28 = $<<24+28=52>>52. #### 52 Leif’s apple tree has 14 apples and his orange tree has 2 dozen oranges. How many more oranges does he have than apples? He has 2 x 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 oranges. He has 24 - 14 = <<24-14=10>>10 more oranges than apples. #### 10
