Peter has a plan to take his family on a vacation to Germany. He needs $5,000 to cover all the spending for the travel, and he has $2,900 in savings right now. If he can save up $700 each month, how many months does he need to wait to reach his goal?

Peter needs $5,000 – $2,900 = $

<<5000-2900=2100>>2,100 in total. He will have to wait for $2100 ÷ $700/month = <<2100/700=3>>3 months to reach his goal. #### 3 Biff is getting ready for a long bus trip. He spends $11 on the ticket, $3 on drinks and snacks, and $16 on a new pair of headphones to listen to music. Biff plans to do online tasks using the bus's WiFi during his trip. If Biff makes $12/hour working online and has to pay $2/hour to access the bus's WiFi, how many hours long will the bus ride need to be for him to break even? First calculate how much money Biff spent getting ready for the trip: $11 + $3 + $16 = $<<11+3+16=30>>30 Now calculate Bill's net income per hour after he pays for WiFi by subtracting the WiFi cost from his gross hourly rate: $12/hr - $2/hr = $<<12-2=10>>10/hr Finally, divide the money Bill spent by his net hourly rate to find out how many hours he has to work to break even: $30 / $10/hr = <<30/10=3>>3 hours #### 3 An airline company owns 5 airplanes. Every airplane they own has 20 rows with 7 seats in each row. Each airplane makes 2 flights a day. How many passengers can the airline company accommodate each day? Each airplane has 20 x 7 = <<20*7=140>>140 seats. So, the 5 airplanes can accommodate a total of 140 x 5 = <<140*5=700>>700 passengers. Therefore, the airline company can accommodate 700 x 2 = <<700*2=1400>>1400 passengers each day. #### 1400 Tony can run a mile twice as fast as Tina, who with a time of 6 minutes is one-third as fast a runner as Tom. What are all three of their mile times when added together? Since someone running twice as fast a mile as another person would mean they complete the mile in half as much time, this means Tony would run a mile in 6/2= <<6/2=3>>3 minutes since Tina's time was 6 minutes. Since Tom is three times as fast as Tina, for the same reasons as above this means his time is 6/3= <<6/3=2>>2 minutes. Altogether then, the total time for all three is then 6+3+2= <<6+3+2=11>>11 minutes. #### 11 The Eat "N Go Mobile Sausage Sandwich Shop specializes in the sale of spicy sausage sandwiches served on a toasted bun. Each sausage sandwich comes with four strips of jalapeno pepper, one sausage patty, and a tablespoon of Stephen's famous special sauce. If a single jalapeno pepper makes 8 slices, and the Sandwich Shop serves a sandwich every 5 minutes, how many jalapeno peppers are required by the Sandwich Shop to serve all customers during an 8-hour day? If each sandwich comes with 4 strips of pepper, and each pepper makes 8 slices, then each sandwich uses 4/8=<<4/8=0.5>>0.5 pepper. If the Sandwich Shop serves a sandwich every 5 minutes, then per hour the Shop serves 60/5=<<60/5=12>>12 sandwiches. Thus, per hour, the Shop uses 12*0.5=<<12*0.5=6>>6 jalapeno peppers. And in an 8-hour day, the Sandwich Shop uses 8*6=<<8*6=48>>48 jalapeno peppers. #### 48 Three days' temperatures were recorded for Bucyrus, Ohio. The temperatures were -14 degrees Fahrenheit, -8 degrees Fahrenheit, and +1 degree Fahrenheit. What was the average number of degrees (Fahrenheit) in Bucyrus, Ohio on the 3 days recorded? -14 + (-8) + 1 = <<-14+-8+1=-21>>-21 degrees Fahrenheit -21/3 = <<-21/3=-7>>-7 degrees Fahrenheit The average temperature was -7 degrees Fahrenheit. #### -7 2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels will make 4 cups of popcorn. For movie night, Joanie wants 3 cups of popcorn, Mitchell wants 4 cups of popcorn, Miles and Davis said they would split 6 cups of popcorn and Cliff said he would only eat 3 cups. How many tablespoons of popcorn kernels will they need? If Joanie wants 3 cups, Mitchell wants 4 cups, Miles & Davis want 6 cups and Cliff wants 3 cups then they want 3+4+6+3 = <<3+4+6+3=16>>16 cups of popcorn Every 2 tablespoons makes 4 cups and they want 16 cups so 16/4 = <<16/4=4>>4 groups of 2 tablespoons are needed. Thus they need 4 * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 tablespoons in total. #### 8 Abigail collected 2 boxes of cookies for the bake sale. Grayson collected 3 quarters of a box, and Olivia collected 3 boxes. Assuming that each box contains 48 cookies, how many cookies did they collect in total? Abigail collected 2*48 = <<2*48=96>>96 cookies. There are 48/4 = <<48/4=12>>12 cookies in a quarter of a box. Grayson collected 12*3 = <<12*3=36>>36 cookies. Olivia collected 48*3 = <<48*3=144>>144 cookies. In total they collected 96+36+144 = <<96+36+144=276>>276 cookies. #### 276 Tony made a sandwich with two slices of bread for lunch every day this week. On Saturday, he was extra hungry from doing yard work and made two sandwiches. How many slices of bread are left from the 22-slice loaf Tony started with? There are 7 days in a week, so Tony made 1 * 7 = <<1*7=7>>7 sandwiches. On Saturday, he made 1 extra sandwich, so he made 7 + 1 = <<7+1=8>>8 sandwiches this week. A sandwich has 2 slices of bread, so he used 8 * 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 slices. Thus, Tony has 22 - 16 = <<22-16=6>>6 slices of bread left. #### 6 Purple Valley has one-quarter as many skirts as Seafoam Valley, and Seafoam Valley has two-thirds as many skirts as Azure Valley. If Azure Valley has 60 skirts, how many skirts does Purple Valley have? Seafoam Valley has 2/3 as many skirts as Azure Valley, or (2 * 60) / 3 = 120/3 = <<2*60/3=40>>40 skirts. Purple Valley has 1/4 as many skirts as Seafoam Valley, or 40/4 = <<40/4=10>>10 skirts. #### 10
