Bob drove for one and a half hours at 60/mph. He then hit construction and drove for 2 hours at 45/mph. How many miles did Bob travel in those 3 and a half hours?

Bob drove for one and a half hours at 60/mph. He then hit construction and drove for 2 hours at 45/mph. How many miles did Bob travel in those 3 and a half hours?

Bob drove for 1.5 hour * 60/mph =

<<1.5*60=90>>90 miles. Bod drove for 2 hour * 45/mph = <<2*45=90>>90 miles. In total Bob drove 90 + 90 miles = <<90+90=180>>180 miles. #### 180 Susan walked to the market to buy five dozen peaches. To carry them home, she brought two identically-sized cloth bags and a much smaller knapsack. Into the knapsack she placed half as many peaches as she placed in each of the two cloth bags. How many peaches did she put in the knapsack? 5 dozen peaches is 5*12=<<5*12=60>>60 peaches. Let "x" be the number of peaches put into the knapsack. Thus, the total number of peaches is x+(2*x)+(2*x)=60. Simplifying the expression, we see that 5*x=60. Dividing each side of the equation by 5, we see that x=12 peaches, #### 12 Jenny likes to play board games with her friends. She likes to play against her friend Mark the most, as she's played him 10 times and Mark has only won once. She doesn't like playing Jill, as she's played her twice as many times as she's played Mark and Jill has won 75% of them. How many times in total has Jenny won board games with her two friends? Jenny has played Mark 10 times, and since mark has only won once she's had 10-1=<<10-1=9>>9 wins. Jenny has played Jill twice as many times as Mark, so they've played 10*2= <<10*2=20>>20 games Of the 20 games Jenny and Jill have played, Jill has won 75% of them so she's had 20*.75= <<20*.75=15>>15 wins If Jill has won 15 games, that means Jenny won 20-15=<<20-15=5>>5 games For Jenny's total wins, her wins against Mark and Jill are added together for 5+9=<<5+9=14>>14 wins #### 14 Dan can get to the center of a lollipop in 58 licks. Micheal does it in 63 licks. Sam & David each take 70 licks to get to the center of a lollipop while Lance only needs 39 licks. What is the average amount of licks it takes to get to the center of a lollipop? Dan takes 58 licks, Michael takes 63, Sam takes 70, David takes 70 and Lance takes 39 for a total of 58+63+70+70+39 = <<58+63+70+70+39=300>>300 licks There are 5 people and the total amount of licks is 300 so the average is 300/5 = <<300/5=60>>60 licks to get to the center of a lollipop #### 60 For his birthday, Geoffrey received clothes and money. His grandmother gave him €20, his aunt €25 and his uncle €30. With what he already had, he now has €125 in his wallet. He goes to a video game store and gets 3 games that cost 35 euros each. How much does he have left after this purchase? Let’s calculate the total price of video games: 35€ X 3€/game = <<35*3=105>>105€ Now let’s find out how much money Geoffrey has left by subtracting his spending from his starting amount of cash: 125€ - 105€ = <<125-105=20>>20€ #### 20 Rich is reading a 372-page book. He has already read 125 pages of the book. If he skipped the 16 pages of maps, how many more pages does he have left to read to finish the book? He has completed 125 pages + 16 pages = <<125+16=141>>141 pages of the book. Rich has 372 pages - 141 pages = <<372-141=231>>231 pages left. #### 231 George's bowling team is one round away from breaking the league record for most points scored in a season. The old record is an average score per player of 287 per round. Each team has 4 players and there are 10 rounds in the season. Through the first 9 rounds, his team has scored a total of 10,440. How many points less than the current league record per game average is the minimum average they need to score, per player, in the final round to tie the league record? The old team per round record is 1,148 because 287 x 4 = <<1148=1148>>1,148 The team season record is 11,480 because 10 x 1,248 = 11,480 They need 1,040 points in the final round to tie the record because 11,480 - 10,440 = <<11480-10440=1040>>1,040 They need to average 260 points each because 1,040 / 4 = <<1040/4=260>>260 This is 27 points less than the current record average because 287 - 260 = <<27=27>>27 #### 27 Droid owns a coffee shop. He uses 3 bags of coffee beans every morning, he uses triple that number in the afternoon than in the morning, and he uses twice the morning number in the evening. How many bags of coffee beans does he use every week? Droid uses 3 x 3 = <<3*3=9>>9 bags of coffee beans in the afternoon. He uses 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 bags of coffee beans in the evening. So, he uses a total of 3 + 9 + 6 = <<3+9+6=18>>18 bags of coffee beans every day. Therefore, Droid uses a total of 18 x 7 = <<18*7=126>>126 bags of coffee beans every week. #### 126 Jordan has a new hit song on Spotify. 3 months are left in the year, and she currently has 60,000 listens. If the number of listens per month doubles, how many listens will the song have by the end of the year? In the first month, the song will have 60,000 * 2 = <<60000*2=120000>>120,000 listens. In the second month, the song will have 120000 * 2 = <<120000*2=240000>>240,000 listens. In the third month, the song will have 240000 * 2 = <<240000*2=480000>>480,000 listens. By the end of the year Jordan's song will have a total of 60,000 + 120,000 + 240,000 + 480,000 = <<60000+120000+240000+480000=900000>>900,000 listens. #### 900000 John is half times younger than his father, who is 4 years older than John's mother. If John's father is 40 years old, what's the age difference between John and his mother? John is half times his father's age. Thus 1/2*40 = <<1/2*40=20>>20 years. Since the mother is 4 years younger than the father, she is 40-4= <<40-4=36>>36 years old. The age difference between John and his mother is 36-20 = <<36-20=16>>16 years #### 16
