Doc's Pizza contains 6 pieces of pizza. Ten fourth-graders each bought 20 pizzas from Doc's Pizza and put them in their box. How many pieces of pizza are the children carrying in total?
If Each fourth-grader bought 20 pizzas, with each pizza having 6 pieces, each fourth-grader had a total of 20*6 =
<<20*6=120>>120 pieces of pizza in their box. Ten fourth-graders each bought 20 pizzas, and since the 20 pizzas had 120 pieces, the total number of pizzas in the students' boxes is 120*10 = <<120*10=1200>>1200 pieces. #### 1200 Jane is looking at a tree. At the same time, the tree and Jane are casting shadows - the tree of 10 meters and Jane of 0.5 meters. Jane is 1.5 meters tall. How tall is the tree? The shadow of Jane is 1.5 / 0.5 = <<1.5/0.5=3>>3 times smaller than her height. The height of the tree is therefore 3 times bigger than the shadow, so it's 3 * 10 = <<3*10=30>>30 meters tall #### 30 Daragh had 20 stuffed bears. She took out her favorite 8 bears and then equally divided the other bears among her 3 sisters. Daragh's youngest sister, Eden, already had 10 stuffed bears. How many stuffed bears does Eden have now? Take the number of bears Daragh has left after taking her favorite 8 bears out: 20 bears - 8 bears = <<20-8=12>>12 bears. Divide these amongst Daragh's 3 sisters: 12 bears / 3 sisters = <<12/3=4>>4 bears per sister. Add the 4 bears to Eden's current bears: 10 bears + 4 bears = <<10+4=14>>14 bears. #### 14 Sally bought 3 photograph frames, each costing her $3. She paid with a $20 bill. How much change did she get? She bought the frames for 3 × $3 = $<<3*3=9>>9. Sally got $20 - $9 = $<<20-9=11>>11 in change. #### 11 Three planes are going to the same place but each has a different number of passengers. The first plane has 50, the second had 60, and the third has 40. An empty plane can go 600 MPH, but each passenger makes it go 2 MPH slower. What is their average speed? The first plane goes 100 MPH slower than empty because 50 x 2 = <<50*2=100>>100 The first plane goes 500 MPH because 600 - 100 = <<600-100=500>>500 The second plane goes 120 MPH slower because 60 x 2 = <<60*2=120>>120 The second plane goes 480 because 600 - 120 = <<600-120=480>>480 The third plane goes 80 MPH slower because 40 x 2 = <<40*2=80>>80 The third plane goes 520 MPH because 600 - 80 = 520 The total speed is 1500 because 500 + 480 + 520 = <<500+480+520=1500>>1500 Their average speed is 500 because 1500 / 3 = <<1500/3=500>>500 #### 500 Hattie and her friend Lorelei are doing a jumping contest using a jumping rope. Hattie does 180 jumps in the first round, while Lorelei jumps 3/4 as many times as Hattie jumped. In the second round, Lorelei does 50 more jumps than Hattie. If Hattie managed to jump 2/3 times the number of jumps she did in the first round, calculate the total number of jumps the two did in the two rounds. In the first round, Lorelei did 3/4 * 180 jumps = <<3/4*180=135>>135 jumps. In the second round, Hattie did 2/3 * 180 jumps = <<2/3*180=120>>120 jumps, while Lorelei did 120 jumps + 50 jumps = <<120+50=170>>170 jumps. The total number of jumps for the two in both rounds is 170 jumps + 120 jumps + 135 jumps + 180 jumps = <<170+120+135+180=605>>605 jumps #### 605 The school decided to add 20% to the gym budget. In a normal month, they could buy 15 dodgeballs for $5 each if they spent the entire budget on that. If they only buy softballs instead, which cost $9 each, how many can they buy with the new budget? The old budget was $75 because 15 x 5 = <<15*5=75>>75 They are adding $15 to the budget because 75 x .2 = <<75*.2=15>>15 The new budget is $90 because 75 + 15 = <<75+15=90>>90 They can buy 10 softballs on the new budget because 90 / 9 = <<90/9=10>>10 #### 10 Levi has 5 lemons. Jayden has 6 more lemons than Levi. Jayden has one-third as many lemons as Eli has while Eli has one-half as many lemons as Ian has. How many lemons do they have in all? Jayden has 5 + 6 = <<5+6=11>>11 lemons. Eli has 11 x 3 = <<11*3=33>>33 lemons. Ian has 33 x 2 = <<33*2=66>>66 lemons. Thus, the 4 of them have a total of 5 + 11 + 33 + 66 = <<5+11+33+66=115>>115 lemons. #### 115 Blake bought 4 lollipops and 6 packs of chocolate. If each lollipop costs $2 and a pack of chocolate costs the same as four lollipops, how much change will Blake get back if he gave the cashier 6 $10 bills? Four pieces of lollipop cost $2x 4 = $<<2*4=8>>8 A pack of chocolate costs $8 so 6 packs cost $8 x 6 = $<<8*6=48>>48. The total amount that she needs to pay is $8+ $48= $<<8+48=56>>56. Blake gave the cashier $10 x 6 = $<<10*6=60>>60. So, her change is $60 - $56 = $<<60-56=4>>4. #### 4 Theo and Tia are buying food for their picnic basket. They invited two of their friends. They buy individual sandwiches and individual fruit salads. They buy two sodas per person and 3 bags of snacks to share for their friends and themselves. Sandwiches are $5 each. Fruit salad is $3 each. Sodas are $2 each. The snack bags are $4 each. How much did they spend on the entire contents of their picnic basket? The sandwiches are $5 x 4 = $<<5*4=20>>20. The fruit salads are $3 x 4 = $<<3*4=12>>12. The sodas are $2 x 4 x 2 = $<<2*4*2=16>>16. The snacks are $4 x 3 = $<<4*3=12>>12. For all the food, they spend $20 + $12 + $16 + $12 = $<<20+12+16+12=60>>60. #### 60
