Jade and Krista went on a road trip for 3 days. On each day Jade had to drive 8 hours and Krista had to drive 6 hours to arrive at the destination. How many hours did they drive altogether?

Jade drives for a total of 3 days x 8 hours/day =

<<3*8=24>>24 hours Krista drives for a total of 3 days x 6 hours/day = <<3*6=18>>18 hours Together they drive 24 hours + 18 hours = <<24+18=42>>42 hours #### 42 Benjamin is tracking how many miles he walks in a week. He walks to work and home five days a week, walks his dog twice a day every day, walks to his best friend’s house once a week, and walks to the convenience store twice a week. Work is six miles away, dog walks are two miles, his best friend’s house is one mile, and the convenience store is three miles. How many miles does Benjamin walk in a week? Benjamin walks 6 miles to work and 6 miles home, so he walks 6 * 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 miles to work and home. He walks to work 5 days a week, so he walks 12 * 5 = <<12*5=60>>60 miles to work and home a week. He walks his dog 2 times a day for 2 miles, so he walks 2 * 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 miles a day for his dog. He walks his dog 7 days a week, so he walks 4 * 7 = <<4*7=28>>28 miles for his dog. He walks 3 miles to the store 2 times a week, so he walks 2 * 3 = <<2*3=6>>6 miles to the store each week. Adding his weekly 1 mile to his friend’s house, Benjamin walks 60 + 28 + 6 + 1 = <<60+28+6+1=95>>95 miles in a week. #### 95 Meso can type 15 pages in 5 minutes. Tyler can type the same 15 pages in 3 minutes. How many minutes would it take Meso and Tyler to type 40 pages working together? Meso types 15 pages / 5 minutes = <<15/5=3>>3 page per minute. Tyler types 15 pages / 3 minutes = <<15/3=5>>5 pages per minute. Together they can type 3 + 5 = <<3+5=8>>8 pages per minute. Working together, it would take them 40 pages / 8 pages per minute = <<40/8=5>>5 minutes #### 5 Mr. Smith had 32 markers in his classroom. He buys new boxes of markers that have 9 markers in each box. Now, he has 86 markers. How many new boxes did Mr. Smith buy? Mr. Smith bought 86 markers - 32 markers = <<86-32=54>>54 markers. Mr. Smith bought 54 markers ÷ 9 markers/box = <<54/9=6>>6 new boxes. #### 6 Simone ate 1/2 of an apple each day for 16 days. Lauri ate 1/3 of an apple each day for 15 days. How many apples did the two girls eat altogether? Simone = (1/2) * 16 = <<(1/2)*16=8>>8 Lauri = (1/3) * 15 = <<(1/3)*15=5>>5 8 + 5 = <<8+5=13>>13 Together they ate 13 apples. #### 13 Kayla and Theresa went to buy some chocolate bars and soda cans. Theresa bought twice the number of chocolate bars and soda cans Kayla bought. If Theresa bought 12 chocolate bars and 18 soda cans, how many chocolate bars and soda cans did Kayla buy in total? Kayla bought 12 chocolate bars / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 chocolate bars. She also bought 18 soda cans / 2 = <<18/2=9>>9 soda cans. The total number of chocolate bars and soda cans Kayla bought is 6 chocolate bars + 9 soda cans = <<6+9=15>>15 items #### 15 Lindsay has 4 dolls with blonde hair; four times more dolls with brown than blonde hair; 2 fewer dolls with black than brown hair. How many more dolls with black and brown hair combined does Lindsay have than blonde-haired dolls? Lindsay has 4 x 4 = <<4*4=16>>16 brown-haired dolls. She has 16 - 2 = <<16-2=14>>14 black-haired dolls. Thus, Lindsay has 16 + 14 = <<16+14=30>>30 black and brown hair dolls combined. Therefore, she has 30 - 4 = <<30-4=26>>26 more dolls with black and brown hair combined than blonde-haired dolls. #### 26 At the height of cranberry season, there are 60000 cranberries in a bog. 40% are harvested by humans and another 20000 are eaten by elk. How many cranberries are left? First find the total number of cranberries harvested by humans: 60000 cranberries * 40% = <<60000*40*.01=24000>>24000 Then subtract the number of cranberries taken by the humans and elk to find the number remaining: 60000 cranberries - 24000 cranberries - 20000 cranberries = <<60000-24000-20000=16000>>16000 cranberries #### 16000 A school bought pencils and pens. A pencil costs $2.50, while a pen costs $3.50. How much do 38 pencils and 56 pens cost? The 38 pencils cost $2.5 x 38 = $<<2.5*38=95>>95. The 56 pens cost $3.5 x 56 =$<<3.5*56=196>>196. The total cost of 36 pencils and 56 pens is $95 + $196 = $291. #### 291 Karen wanted to go out to get some fast food. She pulls up to the drive-through and orders a 5-dollar burger. Her son then yelled out that he wanted a 4-dollar sandwich, so it was added to the order. Karen then decided to order some drinks and opted for two 4-dollar smoothies. What is the total cost of Karen's fast-food order? Karen and her son order 5+4=<<5+4=9>>9 dollars worth of food. Karen decides to buy 4+4=<<4+4=8>>8 dollars worth of smoothies. The total for this order is 9+8=<<9+8=17>>17 dollars. #### 17
