It takes Jerome 6 hours to run the trail around the park and it takes Nero 3 hours. If Jerome runs at 4 MPH, what speed (in MPH) does Nero run in the park?

You can find the distance of Jerome's run by multiplying the time he spends running by his speed: 4 miles/hour * 6 hours =

<<4*6=24>>24 miles. Then find Nero's speed by dividing the distance he runs by the time he spends running: 24 miles / 3 hours = <<24/3=8>>8 miles/hour. #### 8 If Joe spent 1/9 of his pocket money of $450 on chocolates and 2/5 on fruits, how much money does he have left? Joe spent 1/9 * $450 = $<<1/9*450=50>>50 on chocolate. Joe spent 2/5 * $450 = $<<2/5*450=180>>180 on fruits. Joe has $450 - $50 - $180 = $<<450-50-180=220>>220 left. #### 220 Three times as many children as adults attend a concert on Saturday. An adult ticket costs $7 and a child's ticket costs $3. The theater collected a total of $6,000. How many people bought tickets? Let X be the number of adults attending the concert. The number of children attending the concert is 3*X. The theater collected a total of 7*X + 3*(3*X) = $6,000. Multiplying through the parentheses we get 7X + 9X = $6,000 Adding like terms we get 16X = $6,000 Dividing both sides by 16 we get X = 375, the number of adults attending the concert The number of children attending the concert is triple this number: 375 adults * 3 children/adult = <<375*3=1125>>1125 children. The number of people attending the concert is 375 + 1125 = <<375+1125=1500>>1500 people. #### 1500 A supplier is packing cartons of canned juice. Each carton has 20 cans of juice. Out of the 50 cartons that have been packed, only 40 cartons have been loaded on a truck. How many cans of juice are left to be loaded on the truck? There are 50 - 40 = <<50-40=10>>10 cartons of canned juice that are left to be loaded on the truck. This is equal to 10 x 20 = <<10*20=200>>200 cans of juice. #### 200 Jangshe spent $610 on 7 pieces of clothing. One piece was $49 and another piece was $81. If the other pieces were all the same price, how many dollars was one of the other pieces? 610 - 49 = 561, and then 561 - 81 = 480 There were 7 - 2 = <<7-2=5>>5 other pieces. 480/5 = <<480/5=96>>96 dollars The other 5 pieces cost $96 each. #### 96 In a grocery store, the daily salary of the manager is $5 and the clerk is $2. If there are currently 2 managers and 3 clerks employed in the grocery store, how much is the total daily salary of all the employees of the grocery store? The 2 managers earn $5 x 2 = $<<5*2=10>>10 per day. The daily salary of 3 clerks is $2 x 3 = $<<3*2=6>>6. Therefore the total salary of all employees of the grocery store is $10 + $6= $<<10+6=16>>16 #### 16 Nathan wants to line the inside of a box with velvet. The box has two long sides that measure 8 inches by 6 inches, two short sides that measure 5 inches by six inches and a top and a bottom that each measure 40 square inches. How many square inches of velvet does Nathan need? First find the area of each long side by multiplying the length and width: 8 inches * 6 inches = <<8*6=48>>48 square inches Then do the same thing for each short side: 5 inches * 6 inches = <<5*6=30>>30 square inches Now add the area of one long side, one short side, and one top/bottom together: 48 square inches + 30 square inches + 40 square inches = <<48+30+40=118>>118 square inches Now double that quantity because there are two of each kind of side: 118 square inches * 2 = <<118*2=236>>236 square inches #### 236 Jan enters a double dutch competition. After training she doubles her speed which used to be 70 skips per minute. How many skips does she do in 5 minutes? She does 70*2=<<70*2=140>>140 skips a minute So he does 140*5=<<140*5=700>>700 skips in the 5 minutes #### 700 A flower shop sells bouquets of roses, which each contain 12 roses, and bouquets of daisies, which each contain an equal amount of daisies. The flower shop sells 20 bouquets today. 10 of these were rose bouquets and the remaining 10 bouquets were daisy bouquets. If the flower shop has sold 190 flowers in total today, how many daisies are in each bouquet of daisies? The flower shop sold 10 bouquets * 12 roses/bouquets = <<10*12=120>>120 roses. This means they sold a total of 190 flowers – 120 roses = <<190-120=70>>70 daisies. Therefore, each daisy bouquet contains 70 daisies / 10 bouquets = <<70/10=7>>7 daisies per bouquet. #### 7 Meryll wants to write 35 multiple-choice questions and 15 problem-solving questions for her Chemistry class. She already has written 2/5 of the multiple-choice and 1/3 of the problem-solving questions. How many more questions does she need to write for both multiple-choice and problem-solving? Meryll has written 35 questions x 2/5 = <<35*2/5=14>>14 multiple-choice questions. While she has written 15 questions x 1/3 = <<15*1/3=5>>5 problem-solving questions. The total number of questions that Meryll has to write is 35 questions + 15 questions = <<35+15=50>>50 questions. Meryll has written a total of 14 questions + 5 questions = <<14+5=19>>19 questions. Hence, she needs to write 50 questions - 19 questions = <<50-19=31>>31 questions more. #### 31
