Cheryl needs 4 cups of basil to make 1 cup of pesto. She can harvest 16 cups of basil from her farm every week for 8 weeks. How many cups of pesto will she be able to make?

She harvests 16 cups of basil every week for 8 weeks for a total of 16*8 =

<<16*8=128>>128 cups of basil She needs 4 cups of basil to make 1 cup of pesto and she has 128 cups of basil so she can make 128/4 = 32 cups of pesto #### 32 It takes a duck 40 days to fly to the south during winter, twice as much time to fly to the north during summer, and 60 days to travel to the East during spring. How many days is the duck flying during these seasons? If the duck takes 40 days to fly to the south during winter and twice as much time to fly to the north during summer, it takes 40*2= <<40*2=80>>80 days to travel to the north. The total time it takes to travel to the south and the north during both seasons is 80+40 = <<80+40=120>>120 days. The duck also takes 60 days to travel to the East during spring, making the total time it travels during all the seasons to be 120+60 = <<120+60=180>>180 #### 180 Sweet Hope hosts a casino with 3 roulette tables labeled A, B, and C. At 6:00 pm, Table B had twice as much money on it as table C, which had $20 more than table A. If there was $40 on table A, how much money was there on all the tables? If table C had $20 more than table A, then table C had $20+$40=$<<20+40=60>>60 Roulette tables A and C had $60+$40=$<<60+40=100>>100 Table B had twice as much money on it as table C, meaning table B had $60*2=$<<60*2=120>>120 Together, the three roulette tables had $120+$100=$<<120+100=220>>220 #### 220 Sarah is in charge of making 2 copies of a contract for 9 people that will be in a meeting. The contract is 20 pages long. How many pages will Sarah copy? Every person needs 2 copies and there are 9 people in the meeting so she needs 2*9 = <<2*9=18>>18 copies The contract is 20 pages long and she has to make 18 copies so she will end up copying 20*18 = <<20*18=360>>360 pages #### 360 Toms car gets 50 miles to the gallon. He drives 75 miles per day. If gas is $3 per gallon how much does he spend on gas in 10 days? He drives 75*10=<<75*10=750>>750 miles So he uses 750/50=<<750/50=15>>15 gallons That means he spends 15*3=$<<15*3=45>>45 on gas #### 45 Bert, Ernie, and Peggy collect stamps. Bert has four times as many stamps as Ernie, but Ernie has three times as many stamps as Peggy. If Peggy currently has 75 stamps in her collection, how many stamps does she need to add to her collection to have a collection as large as Bert's collection? Ernie has three times as many stamps as Peggy, or 3*75=<<3*75=225>>225 stamps. Bert has 4 times as many stamps as Ernie, or 4*225=<<4*225=900>>900 stamps. Thus, Peggy would need 900-75=<<900-75=825>>825 more stamps to have a collection as large as Bert's. #### 825 A 20 person classroom is filled with 40% girls. If 5 new boys join the classroom, what is the new percentage of girls in the class? The number of girls in the classroom is 20 * 40% = <<20*40*.01=8>>8 girls Before new boys join, the number of boys in the classroom is 20 - 8 = <<20-8=12>>12 boys If 5 new boys join, the new number of boys is 12+5=17 boys and the new total is 20+5=25 total people The new percentage of girls in the class is 8 girls / 25 total people = 32% #### 32 Isabel was helping her mom pick apples from their tree in the front yard. Together they picked 34 apples. They want to make apple pies. Each apple pie needs 4 apples, but the apples have to be ripe. 6 of the apples they picked are not ripe. How many pies can they make? Isabel has 34 apples - 6 that are not ripe = <<34-6=28>>28 ripe apples. To make pies they will need 28 apples / 4 apples per pie = <<28/4=7>>7 pies. #### 7 A box has 2 dozen water bottles and half a dozen more apple bottles than water bottles. How many bottles are in the box? Since a dozen has 12 items, the box has 2 dozen water bottles, a total of 2*12=<<2*12=24>>24 water bottles. The box also has half a dozen more apple bottles than water bottles, meaning there are 1/2*12= 6 more apple bottles than water bottles. The total number of apple bottles in the box is 24+6 = <<24+6=30>>30 In the box, there are a total of 30+24 =<<30+24=54>>54 bottles #### 54 A phone factory makes twice as many phones as last year. Last year’s production was 5000 phones. If a quarter of this year’s production is sold, how many phones are left in the factory? This year’s total production is 5000 * 2 = <<5000*2=10000>>10000 phones. A quarter of this year’s production is 10000 / 4 = <<10000/4=2500>>2500 phones. The number of phones left after selling a quarter of the production is 10000 – 2500 = <<10000-2500=7500>>7500 phones. #### 7500
