Hugh had eight pounds of candy, Tommy had six pounds of candy, and Melany had seven pounds of candy. If they share the candy equally, how much will each person have?

Hugh and Tommy have a total of 8+6 =

<<8+6=14>>14 candies. Since Melany also has seven candies, they have 14+7 = <<14+7=21>>21 candies. If they combine and share the candies equally, each person will get 21/3 = <<21/3=7>>7 candies. #### 7 Mickey and Johnny are having a contest to see who can run around their block the most. One time around the block equals 200 meters. Johnny runs around the block 4 times. Mickey runs around the block half as many times as Johnny. What is the average distance run by Johnny and Mickey? Mickey runs around the block twice because half of 4 is <<4/2=2>>2. Mickey runs 400 meters in total because 2 times 200 equals <<2*200=400>>400. Johnny runs 800 meters because 4 times 200 equals <<4*200=800>>800. In total, they run 1200 meters because 400 plus 800 equals 1200. On average, they run 600 meters because 1200 divided by 2 equals <<1200/2=600>>600 #### 600 Emily is on a flight from New York to Hawaii that is 10 hours long. To kill time, she watches 3 TV episodes that are each 25 minutes long. Then she sleeps for 4 and a half hours. Then she watches 2 movies that are each an hour and 45 minutes long. After doing all these things, assuming there is no break time between activities, how many more minutes are left in the flight before Emily reaches Hawaii. Emily spends 3 episodes * 25 minutes = <<3*25=75>>75 minutes watching TV. Emily spends 4.5 hours * 60 minutes = <<4.5*60=270>>270 minutes sleeping. Emily spends 2 movies * 1.75 hours * 60 minutes = <<2*1.75*60=210>>210 minutes watching movies. The total time spent doing activities is 75 + 270 + 210 = <<75+270+210=555>>555 minutes The total length of the flight is 10 hours * 60 minutes = <<10*60=600>>600 minutes The number of minutes remaining in the flight is 600 - 555 = <<600-555=45>>45 minutes #### 45 A wood stove burns 4 bundles of wood in the morning, then some more in the afternoon. If there were 10 bundles of wood at the start of the day and 3 bundles of wood at the end of the day, how many bundles of wood were burned in the afternoon? Working out the difference between the amount of wood available at the start and the end of the day shows that 10 bundles – 3 bundles = <<10-3=7>>7 bundles of wood have been burned throughout the day. Subtracting the wood burned in the morning from this shows that 7 bundles – 4 bundles = <<7-4=3>>3 bundles of wood were burned in the afternoon. #### 3 An apple tree produced 200 apples in a particular season. The tree made 20% fewer fruits the following season, but the tree fruits production in the second season doubled during the third season. Calculate the total number of fruits the apple tree grew in the three seasons. If the tree produced 200 apples in the first season, there were 20/100*200 = 40 fewer fruits in the second season. The total production from the apple tree in the second season is 200-40 = <<200-40=160>>160 In the two seasons, the apple tree produced 160+200 = <<160+200=360>>360 fruits. The apple tree doubled the number of fruits it produced in the third season, totaling 160*2 = <<160*2=320>>320. In the three seasons, the apple tree produced 320+360 = <<320+360=680>>680 apples. #### 680 The ratio of boys to girls at the dance was 3:4. There were 60 girls at the dance. The teachers were 20% of the number of boys. How many people were at the dance? 60 girls represent 4 parts, so one part of students is 60 / 4 = <<60/4=15>>15 students. There are 15 * 3 = <<15*3=45>>45 boys at the dance. The teachers at the dance are 45 * 0,2 = 9 teachers at the dance. There are 60 + 45 + 9 = <<60+45+9=114>>114 people at the dance. #### 114 Erin counts six trolls hiding by the path in the forest, 6 less than four times that number of trolls hiding under the bridge, and half as many trolls hiding in the plains as under the bridge. How many trolls did she count in total? First, multiply the number of forest trolls by 4: 6 trolls * 4 = <<6*4=24>>24 trolls Then subtract 6 from that number to find the number of bridge trolls: 24 trolls - 6 trolls = <<24-6=18>>18 trolls Then divide that number by 2 to find the number of plains trolls: 18 trolls / 2 = <<18/2=9>>9 trolls Then add the number of trolls she saw in each location to find the total number: 6 trolls + 18 trolls + 9 trolls = <<6+18+9=33>>33 trolls #### 33 Jimmy's father receives 20 emails a day. Halfway through April, he subscribed to a news channel that sent 5 more emails per day to his email. What's the total number of emails Jimmy's father had at the end of the month? April has thirty days, so half will be 30 / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15. For the first 15 days, he received 20 * 15 = <<20*15=300>>300 emails. For the remaining 15 days, the number of emails increased to 20 + 5 = 25 emails. The total number of emails for the remaining days of the month is 25 * 15 = <<25*15=375>>375 emails. The total number of emails for April is 375 + 300 = <<375+300=675>>675 emails. #### 675 A small store made 50 posters to advertise their products. Two-fifths of them are small posters while half of them are medium posters. The rest are large posters. How many large posters are there? 50 x 2/5 = <<50*2/5=20>>20 posters are small. And 50/2 = <<50/2=25>>25 posters are medium. So 20 + 25 = <<20+25=45>>45 posters are not large. Therefore, 50 - 45 = <<50-45=5>>5 posters are large. #### 5 It takes Nissa 10 seconds to clip each of her cats' nails. 90 seconds to clean each of her ears, and 5 minutes to shampoo her. If the cat has four claws on each foot, how many seconds does grooming her cat take total? First find the total number of claws the cat has: 4 claws/foot * 4 feet = <<4*4=16>>16 claws Then find the total time Nissa spends cutting the claws: 16 claws * 10 seconds/claw = <<16*10=160>>160 seconds Then find the total time she spends cleaning the cats' ears: 90 seconds/ear * 2 ears = 180 seconds Then find how long the shampooing takes in seconds: 5 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = <<5*60=300>>300 seconds Then add the time she spends on each task to find the total time she spends grooming the cat: 160 seconds + 180 seconds + 300 seconds = <<160+180+300=640>>640 seconds #### 640
