Each week Jaime saves $50. Every two weeks she spends $46 of her savings on a nice lunch with her mum. How long will it take her to save $135?

Jamie saves 50 * 2 = $

<<50*2=100>>100 every two weeks. After the lunch with her mum, Jamie saves $100 - $46 = $<<100-46=54>>54 every two weeks. Jamie saves $54 / 2 = $<<54/2=27>>27 per week. Jamie will need 135 / 27 = <<135/27=5>>5 weeks to save enough. #### 5 Mustafa buys a fridge, a TV and a computer with a total budget of $1600. The TV costs $600 and the fridge costs $500 more than the computer. How much does the computer cost? The fridge and computer cost 1600-600=<<1600-600=1000>>1000 dollars. The computer cost (1000-500)/2=250 dollars. #### 250 Francis' family has 2 ukuleles, 4 guitars, and a certain number of violins. Each ukulele has 4 strings. Each guitar has 6 strings. Each violin has 4 strings. If the total number of strings among the ukuleles, guitars, and violins is 40 strings, how many violins does Francis' family have? From the ukuleles, there are 2 * 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 strings From the guitars, there are 4 * 6 = <<4*6=24>>24 strings From the violins, there are 40 - 8 - 24 = <<40-8-24=8>>8 strings The total number of violins Francis' family has is 8 / 4 = <<8/4=2>>2 violins #### 2 Harper collected 30% more pieces of Halloween candy than her sister Maggie, who only collected 50 pieces. Neil collected 40% more candy than Harper. How much candy did Neil get on Halloween? Harper collected 30% more than Maggie’s 50 pieces of candy, so she collected .30*50 = <<30*.01*50=15>>15 more pieces of candy Maggie has 50 pieces and Harper collected 15 more than her, so she has 50+15 = <<50+15=65>>65 pieces of candy Neil collected 40% more than Harper, who has 65 pieces, so that’s .40*65 = 26 more pieces of candy Harper has 65 pieces and Neil collected 26 more than her, so he has 65+26 = <<65+26=91>>91 pieces of candy #### 91 It rained twice as much on Tuesday as Monday. On Monday it rained 3 inches more than Sunday. It rained 4 inches on Sunday. How much total rainfall was there over the 3 days? It rained 3+4=<<3+4=7>>7 inches on Monday So it rained 7*2=<<7*2=14>>14 inches on Tuesday That means the total rainfall was 7+14+4=<<7+14+4=25>>25 inches #### 25 Kennedy’s car can drive 19 miles per gallon of gas. She was able to drive 15 miles to school, 6 miles to the softball park, 2 miles to a burger restaurant, 4 miles to her friend’s house, and 11 miles home before she ran out of gas. How many gallons of gas did she start with? Kennedy drove 15 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 11 = <<15+6+2+4+11=38>>38 miles. She gets 19 miles per gallon of gas, so she started with 38 / 19 = <<38/19=2>>2 gallons of gas. #### 2 A building has 10 floors. It takes 15 seconds to go up the stairs to the even-numbered floors and 9 seconds to go up to the odd-numbered floors. This includes getting to the first floor. How many minutes does it take to get to the 10th floor? So for all even-numbered floors (2, 4, 6, 8, 10), it takes 5*15= <<5*15=75>>75 seconds And for all odd-numbered floors (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) it takes 5*9= <<5*9=45>>45 seconds To climb all the floors, it takes 75+45= <<75+45=120>>120 seconds So it takes 120/60=<<120/60=2>>2 minutes to get to the 10th floor #### 2 Jason is making pasta. He fills the pot with 41 degree water. Each minute the temperature of the water increases by 3 degrees. Once the water reaches 212 degrees and is boiling, Jason needs to cook his pasta for 12 minutes. Then it will take him 1/3 that long to mix the pasta with the sauce and make a salad. How many minutes does it take Jason to cook dinner? First find how many degrees the temperature of the water needs to increase: 212 degrees - 41 degrees = <<212-41=171>>171 degrees Then divide that amount by the number of degrees the water temperature increases each minute to find how long it takes the water to boil: 171 degrees / 3 degrees/minute = <<171/3=57>>57 minutes Now figure out how long it takes to mix the pasta and make salad by dividing the pasta cook time by 3: 12 minutes / 3 = <<12/3=4>>4 minutes Now add the boiling time, cook time, and mixing time to find the total time it takes to make dinner: 57 minutes + 4 minutes + 12 minutes = <<57+4+12=73>>73 minutes #### 73 Jim ran 16 miles in 2 hours while Frank ran 20 miles in 2 hours. How many more miles did Frank run than Jim in an hour? Jim ran 16 / 2 = <<16/2=8>>8 miles for an hour. Frank ran 20 / 2 = <<20/2=10>>10 miles for an hour. Frank ran 10 - 8 = <<10-8=2>>2 more miles than Jim in an hour. #### 2 A mailman has to deliver 48 pieces of junk mail. There are 8 houses on the block. 2 of the houses have white mailboxes and 3 have red mailboxes. How many pieces of junk mail will each of those houses get? The mailman has 48 pieces of junk mail / 8 houses = <<48/8=6>>6 pieces per house. The houses with white mailboxes get 2 * 6 pieces = <<2*6=12>>12 pieces of junk mail. The houses with red mailboxes get 3 * 6 pieces = <<3*6=18>>18 pieces of junk mail. The houses with red and white mailboxes will get a total of 12 + 18 = <<12+18=30>>30 pieces of junk mail. 30/5 = <<30/5=6>>6 pieces of junk mail each #### 6
