Sally eats 2 sandwiches on Saturday and 1 sandwich on Sunday. If each sandwich uses 2 pieces of bread, how many pieces of bread does Sally eat across Saturday and Sunday?
Across Saturday and Sunday, Sally eats 2 + 1 =
<<2+1=3>>3 sandwiches Since each sandwich sues 2 pieces of bread, Sally eats 3 * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 pieces of bread #### 6 Heather is going to sew 150 aprons that are to be used for a kiddie crew program. She already was able to sew 13 aprons, and today, she sewed three times as many aprons. How many aprons should she sew tomorrow if she wants to sew half of the remaining number of aprons needed? Heather has sewn 13 x 3 = <<13*3=39>>39 aprons today. The total number of aprons sewn is 13 + 39 = <<13+39=52>>52. Heather needs to sew 150 - 52 = <<150-52=98>>98 aprons more. So, she needs to sew 98/2 = <<98/2=49>>49 aprons tomorrow. #### 49 Jamie knows that once she has any more than 32 ounces of liquid she has to use the bathroom, and her teacher said that no one can use the bathroom during the math test. She remembers that she had a cup of milk at lunch and a pint of grape juice at recess. How many ounces can she drink from her water bottle during the test before she'd have to go to the bathroom? (A cup equals 8 ounces and a pint equals 16 ounces.) Jamie has had 24 ounces because 8 plus 16 equals <<8+16=24>>24. She can drink 8 ounces because 32 - 24 equals <<32-24=8>>8. #### 8 A local school is holding a food drive. Mark brings in 4 times as many cans as Jaydon. Jaydon brings in 5 more than twice the amount of cans that Rachel brought in. If there are 135 cans total, how many cans did Mark bring in? Let x represent the number of cans Rachel brought in. Jaydon:5+2x Mark:4(5+2x)=20+8x Total:x+5+2x+20+8x=135 11x+25=135 11x=110 x=<<10=10>>10 Mark: 20+8(10)=100 cans #### 100 Tom and Devin have been teaching for a total of 70 years. Devin has been teaching for 5 less than half the number of years that Tom has. How many years has Tom been teaching? Let x be the number of years Tom has been teaching Devin has been teaching for (1/2)x-5 years 70=x+((1/2)x-5) 70=(3/2)x-5 75=(3/2)x x=<<50=50>>50 Tom has been teaching for 50 years #### 50 Adah practiced the cello for a total of 7.5 hours last week. He practiced for 86 minutes on each of 2 days. How many minutes in total did he practice on the other days? 7.5 hours = <<7.5*60=450>>450 minutes Two days = 2 * 86 = 172 minutes 450 - 172 = <<450-172=278>>278 minutes Adah practiced a total of 278 minutes on the other days. #### 278 Mary bought 14 apples, 9 oranges, and 6 blueberries. Mary ate 1 of each. How many fruits in total does she have left? Mary has 14-1 = <<14-1=13>>13 apples left. Mary has 9-1 = <<9-1=8>>8 oranges left. Mary has 6-1 = <<6-1=5>>5 blueberries left. Mary has 13+8+5 = <<13+8+5=26>>26 fruits left in total. #### 26 Fatima has a piece of cloth that is 100 square inches big. She has decided to cut the cloth in half. She plans on keeping half and donating the other half. If she does this 2 times, then how much cloth will she have donated? The first cut will result in 100 / 2 = <<100/2=50>>50 square inches of fabric. The second cut will result in 50 / 2 = <<50/2=25>>25 square inches of fabric. Fatima will have donated a total of 50 + 25 = <<50+25=75>>75 square inches of fabric. #### 75 Toby’s father gave him $343 for passing the test. Toby decided to share it with his two brothers, so he gave each of them 1/7 of $343. How many dollars are left for Toby? Toby gave each of his brothers 1/7 * $343 = $<<1/7*343=49>>49. Toby gave his 2 brothers a total of 2 * $49 = $<<2*49=98>>98. So, Toby now has $343 – $98 = $<<343-98=245>>245. #### 245 There are 48 passengers on the bus. Two-thirds of the passengers are women and the rest are men. If one-eighth of the men are standing, how many men are seated? There are 48 x 2/3 = <<48*2/3=32>>32 women on the bus. So, 48 - 32 = <<48-32=16>>16 are men. Out of the 16, 16 x 1/8 = <<16*1/8=2>>2 men are standing. Hence, 16 - 2 = <<16-2=14>>14 men are seated. #### 14
