Javier plays 2 baseball games a week. In each of his first 20 games, he averaged 2 hits. If he has 10 games left, how many hits a game does he have to average to bring his average for the season up to 3 hits a game?

There are thirty games in the season because 20 + 10 =

<<20+10=30>>30 He needs to get 90 hits on the year to average 3 hits a game because 30 x 3 = <<90=90>>90 He has 40 hits already because 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 He needs 50 hits in the final 10 games because 90 - 40 = <<90-40=50>>50 He needs to average 5 hits a game because 50 / 10 = <<50/10=5>>5 #### 5 Jerry is writing a script for a skit with three characters. The first character has eight more lines than the second character. The third character only has two lines. The second character has six more than three times the number of lines the third character has. How many lines does the first character in Jerry’s skit script have? The second character has 6 + 3 * 2 = 6 + 6 = <<6+3*2=12>>12 lines. The first character has 12 + 8 = <<12+8=20>>20 lines. #### 20 Pauly is making omelets for his family. There are three dozen eggs, and he plans to use them all. Each omelet requires 4 eggs. Including himself, there are 3 people. How many omelets does each person get? He has 36 eggs because 3 x 12 = <<3*12=36>>36 He can make 9 omelets because 36 / 4 = <<36/4=9>>9 Each person gets 3 omelets because 9 / 3 = <<9/3=3>>3 #### 3 On a particular day, a car traveled from Ningi to Zipra in 80% of the time it traveled from Ngapara to Zipra. If the car took 60 hours to travel from Ngapara to Zipra, calculate the total time the car traveled that day. If the car traveled from Ningi to Zipra in 80% of the time it traveled from Ngapara to Zipra, it took 80/100*60 = <<80/100*60=48>>48 hours to travel from Ningi to Zipra. The total travel time that day is 48+60 = <<48+60=108>>108 hours #### 108 Gumball was counting his water intake for the previous week. He checked his list and saw that he had drank 60 liters of water for the week. He drank nine liters of water on Monday, Thursday and Saturday and 8 liters of water on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Unfortunately, no data was input on Wednesday. How many liters of water did he drink on Wednesday? Gumball's total water intake on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday is 9 x 3 = <<9*3=27>>27 liters. And his total water intake on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday is 8 x 3 = <<8*3=24>>24 liters. So his total water intake for 6 days is 24 + 27 = <<24+27=51>>51 liters. Therefore Gumball's water intake on Wednesday is 60 - 51 = <<60-51=9>>9 liters. #### 9 Natalie bought some food for a party she is organizing. She bought two cheesecakes, an apple pie, and a six-pack of muffins. The six-pack of muffins was two times more expensive than the cheesecake, and one cheesecake was only 25% cheaper than the apple pie. If the apple pie cost $12, how much did Natalie pay for all her shopping? One cheesecake was 30% cheaper than the apple pie, which means, it was 25/100 * 12 = $3 cheaper. So for one cheesecake, Natalie needed to pay 12 - 3 = $<<12-3=9>>9. The six-pack of muffins was two times more expensive than the cheesecake, which means its price was 9 * 2 = $<<9*2=18>>18. So for two cheesecakes, Natalie paid also 9 * 2 = $<<9*2=18>>18. So for all her shopping she paid 18 + 18 + 12 = $<<18+18+12=48>>48. #### 48 At the Johnson family reunion, there were 45 children and one third as many adults. One third of the adults wore blue. How many adults did not wear blue? One third as many adults as children is 45/3=<<45/3=15>>15 adults. One third of adults wore blue, or 15/3=<<15/3=5>>5 adults wore blue. Thus, the remaining 15-5=<<15-5=10>>10 adults did not wear blue #### 10 How many legs does a spider have if it has two times more than double the number of legs a human has? Since humans have two legs, we start by finding out what double that amount is by performing 2*2=<<2*2=4>>4 Spiders have twice that number, so we multiply 4*2 to find 8 legs in total. #### 8 Trace has five shopping bags that weigh the same amount as Gordon’s two shopping bags. One of Gordon’s shopping bags weighs three pounds and the other weighs seven. Trace’s shopping bags all weigh the same amount. How many pounds does one of Trace’s bags weigh? Gordon’s bags weigh 3 + 7 = <<3+7=10>>10 pounds. Trace’s five bags all weigh the same amount, so each bag weighs 10 / 5 = <<10/5=2>>2 pounds. #### 2 Vivian is responsible for making sure her students get 2 15-minute recess breaks a day, a 30-minute lunch and another 20-minute recess break. How much time do her students spend outside of class? They get 2 15 minute breaks a day so that’s 2*15 = <<2*15=30>>30 minutes They get 30 minutes for lunch and 20 minutes for recess plus an additional 30 minutes of recess for a total of 30+20+30 = <<30+20+30=80>>80 minutes spent outside of class #### 80
