Laura’s House is a 20-mile round trip from her school. The supermarket is 10 miles farther away from the school. If Laura drives to school every morning and two afternoons a week drives to the supermarket. How many miles does Laura driver per week?

7 days a week Laura drives 20 miles to school, so Laura drives 7 x 20 =

<<7*20=140>>140 miles to school in one week. The supermarket is 10 miles farther away than the school. Therefore the supermarket is 10 + 10 = <<10+10=20>>20 miles away from Laura’s house Laura drives 20 miles each way to and from the supermarket. Each trip is 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 miles. Laura drives 40 miles twice a week to visit the supermarket. Therefore she drives 40 x 2 =<<40*2=80>>80 miles in total a week to and from the supermarket. In total Laura drives 140 + 80 = <<140+80=220>>220 miles each week. #### 220 During the soccer match, The Kickers scored 2 goals in the first period and twice that amount in the second period. The other team, The Spiders, scored half the amount that The Kickers scored in the first period and twice the amount that The Kickers scored in their second period. What is the total amount of goals both teams scored? The Kickers scored twice as many as 2 goals in the second period, so 2*2 = <<2*2=4>>4 goals The Spiders scored half as many as The Kickers' 2 goals from the 1st period so .5*2 = <<2*.5=1>>1 goal in the first period The Spiders scored twice as many as The Kickers' 4 goals from the second period, so 2*4 = <<2*4=8>>8 goals in the second period Together, they scored 2+4+1+8 = <<2+4+1+8=15>>15 goals total #### 15 The community leader of a certain town organized a cleaning day event where community members were to be involved in collecting trash inside the town. Out of 2000 community members involved in the cleaning process, 30% were adult men. If there were twice as many adult women as adult men in the event, and the rest were children, calculate the total number of children involved in the cleaning event. If the number of adult men involved in the cleaning process was 30% of the community members, there were 30/100*2000 = <<30/100*2000=600>>600 adult men at the event. There were also twice as many adult women as adult men in the event, a total of 2*600 = <<2*600=1200>>1200 women. The total number of adults in the event was 1200+600= <<1200+600=1800>>1800 If the rest of the people at the cleaning event were children, there were 2000-1800 = <<2000-1800=200>>200 children at the event. #### 200 Mary, Jess, and Christina want to decorate a party room with balloons. Each person inflates balloons at different speeds, and they only have 30 minutes to inflate as many balloons as possible. Mary inflates 10 balloons per minute, Jess inflates 7 balloons per minute and Christina came 15 minutes late and was the slowest one inflating 4 balloons per minute. How many balloons can they inflate before running out of time? Mary will inflate a total of 10 balloons/minute x 30 minutes = <<10*30=300>>300 balloons Jess will inflate a total of 7 balloons/minute x 30 minutes = <<7*30=210>>210 balloons Christina will inflate a total of 4 balloons/minute x 15 minutes = <<4*15=60>>60 balloons Combining all balloons, they made 300 balloons + 210 balloons + 60 balloons = <<300+210+60=570>>570 balloons #### 570 An employee makes 30 dollars an hour for the first 40 hours in the workweek and an additional 50% for every hour above 40 in the week. If he works 6 hours for the first 3 days in the workweek and twice as many hours per day for the remaining 2 days, how much money did he make? His overtime pay per hour is 30*1.5=$<<30*1.5=45>>45 per hour He works 6*2=<<6*2=12>>12 hours per day for the last two days. He works 6+6+6+12+12=<<6+6+6+12+12=42>>42 hours He gets 42-40=<<42-40=2>>2 hours of overtime. He makes 40*30+2*45=$<<40*30+2*45=1290>>1290 for the week #### 1290 Mark can jump 6 inches off the ground. Lisa can jump double the height as Mark, and Jacob can jump double the height of Lisa. If James jumps 2/3 as high Jacob, how high can James jump? Lisa can jump 6*2 =<<6*2=12>>12 inches. Jacob can jump 12 *2 = <<12*2=24>>24 inches. James can jump 24*(2/3)= <<24*(2/3)=16>>16 inches high. #### 16 There are 6 girls and 8 boys in the school play. If both parents of each kid attend the premiere, how many parents will be in the auditorium? There are 6 + 8 = <<6+8=14>>14 kids in the school play. Each child has 2 parents attending the play and therefore there are 14 x 2 = <<2*14=28>>28 parents in the auditorium. #### 28 Olaf collects colorful toy cars. At first, his collection consisted of 150 cars. His family, knowing his hobby, decided to give him some toy cars. Grandpa gave Olaf twice as many toy cars as the uncle. Dad gave Olaf 10 toy cars, 5 less than Mum. Auntie gave Olaf 6 toy cars, 1 more than the uncle. How many toy cars does Olaf have in total, after receiving all these gifts? Dad gave Olaf 10 toy cars, Mom has given Olaf 5 more toy cars than Dad, so 10 + 5 = <<10+5=15>>15 toy cars Auntie gave Olaf 6 toy cars, Uncle has given 1 less toy than Auntie, so 6 - 1 = <<6-1=5>>5 toy cars Grandpa gave Olaf 2 * 5 = <<2*5=10>>10 toy cars. All the family together gave Olaf 10 +15 + 6 + 5 + 10 = <<10+15+6+5+10=46>>46. Adding the cars Olaf already had, Olaf's collection has 150 + 46 = <<150+46=196>>196 cars. #### 196 After being contracted to build 4000 bollards on each side of a road, a company was only able to install 3/4 of the total number of bollards required on all sides of the road. How many more bollards are they required to install on all sides of the remaining part of the road? Since the company was contracted to build 4000 bollards on each side of a road, they were to install a total of 4000*2 = <<4000*2=8000>>8000 bollards on all sides of the road. The company was only able to install 3/4*8000 = <<3/4*8000=6000>>6000 bollards on all sides of the road. They required 8000-6000 = <<8000-6000=2000>>2000 more bollards to install on all sides of the remaining part of the road. #### 2000 Bailey is making a rectangle out of a 100cm length of rope he has. If the longer sides of the rectangle were 28cm long, what is the length of each of the shorter sides? The longer sides are 2 in number so their total length of 2*28cm = <<2*28=56>>56cm The rest of the length making up the short sides is 100-56 = <<100-56=44>>44 cm There are two equal short sides so each one is 44/2 = <<44/2=22>>22cm #### 22
