Dustin and Sam are both reading. Dustin can read 75 pages in an hour. Sam can read 24 pages in an hour. How many more pages does Dustin read in 40 minutes compared to Sam?

Dustin reads 1.25 pages a minute because 75 / 60 =

<<75/60=1.25>>1.25 Dustin reads 50 pages in 40 minutes because 40 x 1.25 = <<40*1.25=50>>50 Sam reads .4 pages a minute because 24 / 60 = <<24/60=.4>>.4 Sam reads 16 pages in 40 minutes because 40 x .4 = <<40*.4=16>>16 Dustin reads 34 more pages than Sam because 50 - 16 = <<34=34>>34 #### 34 Nathan bought one large box of bananas. He saw that there are six bunches with eight bananas in a bunch and five bunches with seven bananas in a bunch. How many bananas did Nathan have? There were 6 x 8 = <<6*8=48>>48 bananas from the bunches with 8 bananas in a bunch. There were 5 x 7 = <<5*7=35>>35 bananas from the bunches with 7 bananas in a bunch. Therefore, Nathan had 48 + 35 = <<48+35=83>>83 bananas. #### 83 A mathematician is working on two projects. He has one week to write 518 maths questions for one project and 476 questions for another project. If he completes the same number of questions every day, how many should he aim to complete each day? The writer is going to write 518 questions + 476 questions = <<518+476=994>>994 questions in 7 days. He should aim to do 994 questions ÷ 7 days = <<994/7=142>>142 questions/day. #### 142 Antonio is a boy who eats a lot and his weight is 50 kilograms. Antonio's sister, who is an athlete, weighs 12 kilograms less than him. How much do the two siblings weigh together? Antonio's weight is 50 kilograms. His sister weighs 12 kilograms less than him so she weighs 50 kilograms - 12 kilograms = <<50-12=38>>38 kilograms The weight of the two siblings combined is 50 kilograms + 38 kilograms = <<50+38=88>>88 kilograms. #### 88 Daniel practices basketball for 15 minutes each day during the school week. He practices twice as long each day on the weekend. How many minutes does he practice during a whole week? Daniel practices for a total of 15 x 5 = <<15*5=75>>75 minutes during the school week. He practices 15 x 2 = <<15*2=30>>30 minutes each day on the weekend. So, he practices a total of 30 x 2 = <<30*2=60>>60 minutes on the weekend. Thus, Daniel practices for a total of 75 + 60 = <<75+60=135>>135 minutes during a whole week. #### 135 Lolita can drink 3 boxes of milk during weekdays. During Saturdays, she can drink twice the number of boxes of milk than on the weekdays, and during Sundays, she can drink thrice the number of boxes of milk than on the weekdays. How many boxes of milk does she drink per week? She can drink 3 x 5 = <<3*5=15>>15 boxes of milk during weekdays. She can drink 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 boxes of milk on Saturdays. She can also drink 3 x 3 = <<3*3=9>>9 boxes of milk during Sundays. Therefore, Lolita can drink 15 + 6 + 9 = <<15+6+9=30>>30 boxes of milk per week. #### 30 Every day in a week, Siena bookmarks 30 website pages from the research she does on her browser. If Siena has 400 bookmarked pages on her bookmarks library now, how many pages will she have in her bookmarks library at the end of March? Since Siena bookmarks 30 website pages from the research she does on her browser every day, at the end of March, with 31 days, she would have bookmarked 30*31 = <<30*31=930>>930 pages. If Siena already has 400 bookmarked pages in her bookmarks library now, she will have 930+400 = <<400+930=1330>>1330 pages in her bookmarks library at the end of March. #### 1330 Gina's snake eats one mouse every 4 weeks. How many mice will it eat in a decade? First find the number of mice the snake eats each year: 52 weeks/year / 4 weeks/mouse = <<52/4=13>>13 mice/year Then multiply the number of mice the snake eats per year by the number of years per decade to find the number of mice it eats per decade: 13 mice/year * 10 years/decade = <<13*10=130>>130 mice/decade #### 130 Dilan, Martha, Phillip, and Veronica went to the park together to have some fun. They all had a different number of marbles: Dilan had 14 marbles, Martha had 20 marbles, Phillip had 19 marbles and finally, Veronica had only 7 marbles. They wanted to redistribute the marbles so they each had an equal number. How many marbles did each friend have at the end of the day? First find the total numbers of marbles: 14 + 20 + 19 + 7 = <<14+20+19+7=60>>60 marbles After sharing them equally each person will get 60 marbles / 4 people = <<60/4=15>>15 marbles/person #### 15 An online newspaper had listed 100 visitors in October. The number of visitors in November increased by 15%. There were 15 more visitors in December than in November. What is the total number of visitors for these three months? There was an increase of 100 x 15/100 = <<100*15/100=15>>15 visitors in November. So, the number of visitors in November was 100 + 15 = <<100+15=115>>115. In December, the number of visitors was 115 + 15 = <<115+15=130>>130 Therefore, a total of 100 + 115 + 130 = <<100+115+130=345>>345 visitors listed in these three months. #### 345
