Angela slept 6.5 hours every night in December. She decided she should get more sleep and began sleeping 8.5 hours a night in January. How much more sleep did Angela get in January?
Angela slept 8.5 – 6.5 =
<<8.5-6.5=2>>2 more hours each night in January. There are 31 days in December and January, so Angela 2 x 31 = <<31*2=62>>62 more hours sleep. #### 62 The stadium seats 60,000 fans, but only 75% of the seats were sold for the music show. Because of the threat of rain, 5,000 fans stayed home. How many attended the show? The number of seats sold was 0.75*60,000=<<0.75*60000=45000>>45,000. And 45,000-5,000=<<45000-5000=40000>>40,000. #### 40,000 Greg and Sarah have 18 apples that they are going to split evenly. Susan has twice as many apples as Greg will end up with. Mark has 5 fewer apples than Susan. Their mom needs 40 apples to make an apple pie. How many will she have left over? Greg and Sarah will split their apples, so 18 apples / 2 = <<18/2=9>>9 apples per child. Susan has 2 * 9 apples = <<2*9=18>>18 apples. Mark has 18 apples - 5 apples = <<18-5=13>>13 apples. Combined the children have 9 apples + 9 apples + 18 apples + 13 apples = <<9+9+18+13=49>>49 apples. Mom will have 49 apples - 40 apples = <<49-40=9>>9 apples left over. #### 9 Clinton has twice as many shoes in his wardrobe as belts. He has 2 more belts than hats and currently has 5 hats. How many shoes does Clinton have? He has 2 more belts than hats and he has 5 hats so he has 2+5 = <<2+5=7>>7 belts He has twice as many shoes as belts and he has 7 belts so he has 2*7 = <<2*7=14>>14 shoes #### 14 Matt and Blake want to watch every episode of the show The Office. There are 201 episodes. If they watch 1 episode every Monday and 2 episodes every Wednesday each week, how many weeks will it take them to watch the whole series? Each week, they watch 1 Monday + 2 Wednesday episodes = <<1+2=3>>3 episodes a week. If you take 201 total episodes / 3 episodes each week = <<201/3=67>>67 weeks to watch The Office series. #### 67 Mara has 40 crayons and 10 percent of her crayons are pink. Luna has 50 crayons and 20 percent of them are pink. In total how many pink crayons do Mara and Luna have? Mara has 40 x (10 / 100) = <<40*(10/100)=4>>4 pink crayons. Luna has 50 x (20 / 100) = <<50*(20/100)=10>>10 pink crayons. Together they have 4 + 10 = <<4+10=14>>14 pink crayons #### 14 Vanessa's new business is thriving and she frequently has orders to post. She has run out of packing peanuts for the packages and is now wondering how many orders she has sent. Each large order needs 200g of packing peanuts while small orders need just 50g of packing peanuts. If Lisa has used a total of 800g of packing peanuts and she knows she has sent 3 large orders, how many small orders has Lisa sent? In the large orders, Lisa used 3 large orders * 200g of packing peanuts per large order = <<3*200=600>>600g of packing peanuts. The rest of the packing peanuts were used in small orders so there was a total of 800g packing peanuts - 600g of packing peanuts used in large orders = <<800-600=200>>200g of packing peanuts used in small orders. So there must have been 200g of packing peanuts / 50g of packing peanuts per small order = <<200/50=4>>4 small orders. #### 4 The sum of the three numbers is 500. If the first number is 200, and the value of the second number is twice the value of the third number, find the value of the third number. Let's say the third number is x. The sum of the second and third number is 500-200 = <<500-200=300>>300 Since the third number is x, the sum of the values of the second and third number is x+2x = 300 This is 3x=300 The value of the third number is x=300/3 x=<<100=100>>100 #### 100 Keith scored 3 points on the math test. Larry scored 3 times as many marks. Danny scored 5 more marks than Larry. Find the total amount of marks scored by the three students. Larry scored 3 x 3 = <<3*3=9>>9 marks. Danny scored 9 + 5 = <<9+5=14>>14 marks. The total marks scored by the three students is 3 + 9 + 14 = <<3+9+14=26>>26. #### 26 Building A has 4 floors, which is 9 less than Building B. Building C has six less than five times as many floors as Building B. How many floors does Building C have? A = <<4=4>>4 floors B = 4 + 9 = <<4+9=13>>13 floors C = (13 * 5) - 6 = <<13*5-6=59>>59 floors Building C has 59 floors. #### 59
