Ittymangnark and Kingnook are an Eskimo couple living in the most northern region of the Alaskan wilderness. Together, they live with their child, Oomyapeck. Every day Ittymangnark catches enough fish for the three of them to eat for the day and they split the fish equally between the three of them. But after they have split the fish, they give Oomyapeck all of the eyes, who gives two of the eyes to his dog and eats the rest himself. How many fish will each of them be given to eat if Oomyapeck eats 22 eyes in a day?

How many eyes are there? ** If the dog eats two eyes and Oomyapeck eats 22 eyes, then there are a total of 2+22=

<<2+22=24>>24 eyes. How many fish are there? ** With 2 eyes per fish, 24 eyes represent 24/2=<<24/2=12>>12 fish. How many fish will each of them be given to eat? ** If they split that number of fish equally amongst the three of them, then each of them will be given 12/3=<<12/3=4>>4 fish to eat. #### 4 Lydia has a small pool she uses to bathe her dogs. When full, the pool holds 60 gallons of water. She fills her pool using the garden hose, which provides water at the rate of 1.6 gallons per minute. Unfortunately, her pool has a small hole that leaks water at a rate of 0.1 gallons per minute. How long will it take for her to fill the pool, in minutes? How many gallons does the garden hose fill in a minute? ** With a garden hose that fills at a rate of 1.6 gallons per minute, and a hole that leaks at 0.1 gallons per minute, the net fill rate becomes 1.6-0.1=<<1.6-0.1=1.5>>1.5 gallons per minute. How long will it take to fill the pool? ** Therefore, to fill a 60-gallon pool, it will take 60/1.5=<<60/1.5=40>>40 minutes. #### 40 Miss Grayson's class raised $50 for their field trip.
