Twenty gallons of tea were poured into 80 containers. Geraldo drank 3.5 containers. How many pints of tea did Geraldo drink?

How many pints of tea were there? ** 20 gallons = 160 pints

How many pints of tea were in each container? ** 160/80 =

<<160/80=2>>2 pints How many pints of tea did Geraldo drink? ** 3.5 * 2 pints = <<3.5*2=7>>7 pints How many pints of tea did Geraldo drink? ** Geraldo drank 7 pints of tea. #### 7 Tom reads 10 hours over 5 days. He can read 50 pages per hour. Assuming he reads the same amount every day how many pages does he read in 7 days? How many hours does Tom read each day? ** He reads 10/5=<<10/5=2>>2 hours per day How many pages does Tom read each day? ** That means he reads 2*50=<<2*50=100>>100 pages per day How many pages does Tom read in 7 days? ** So he reads 100*7=<<100*7=700>>700 pages in 7 days #### 700 Peyton has 3 children and they each get a juice box in their lunch, 5 days a week. The school year is 25 weeks long. How many juices boxes will she need for the entire school year for all of her children? How many juice boxes does each child get? ** Each of the 3 children gets 1 juice box, 5 days a week, so she needs 3*5 = <<3*5=15>>15 juice boxes in 1 week How many juice boxes does she need for the entire school year? ** The school year is 25 weeks long and she needs 15 juice boxes per week so she needs 25*15 = <<25*15=375>>375 juice boxes #### 375 Barbie enjoys buying jewelry. One day, she bought 12 pairs of earrings, and gave half of them to Alissa, making Alissa's total number of collections to be triple the number of earrings she was given. How many earrings does Alissa have now? How many pairs of earrings did Barbie buy? ** If 1 pair of earrings equals 2 earrings, then Barbie bought 12*2=<<12*2=24>>24 earrings. How many earrings did Barbie give to Alissa? ** Half of 24 earrings is 24/2=<<24/2=12>>12 earrings How many earrings does Alissa have now? ** If receiving 12 earrings tripled Alissa's collection, then she now has 12*3=<<12*3=36>>36 earrings. #### 36 John Smith buys 3 cakes for $12 each and splits the cost with his brother. How much did he pay? How much do the cakes cost? ** The cakes cost 3*12=$<<3*12=36>>36 How much did he pay? ** So he paid 36/2=$<<36/2=18>>18 #### 18 Ruth prepared sandwiches. She ate 1 sandwich and gave 2 sandwiches to her brother. Her first cousin arrived and ate 2 sandwiches. Then her two other cousins arrived and ate 1 sandwich each. There were 3 sandwiches left. How many sandwiches did Ruth prepare? How many sandwiches did Ruth's two cousins eat? ** Ruth's two cousins ate a total of 2 x 1 = <<2*1=2>>2 sandwiches. How many sandwiches were left before Ruth's two cousins arrived? ** So there were 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 sandwiches left before her two cousins arrived. How many sandwiches were there before Ruth's first cousin arrived? ** Before her first cousin arrived, there were 5 + 2 = <<5+2=7>>7 sandwiches. How many sandwiches did Ruth and her brother have altogether? ** Ruth and her brother had 1 + 2 = <<1+2=3>>3 sandwiches altogether. How many sandwiches did Ruth prepare? ** Therefore, Ruth prepared 7 + 3 = <<7+3=10>>10 sandwiches." #### 10 Nina made a two-layer cake and a dozen cupcakes for her friend’s birthday party. Each layer of cake takes the same amount of sugar to make as a dozen cupcakes. Nina used 720 grams of sugar to bake everything. How many grams of sugar are in one cupcake? How many cupcakes did Nina make? ** Nina made 2 cake layers which were equal to 2 x 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 cupcakes. How many cupcakes did Nina make? ** She made the equivalent of 24 + 12 = <<24+12=36>>36 cupcakes in all. How many grams of sugar are in a cupcake? ** Thus, there are 720 / 36 = <<720/36=20>>20 grams of sugar in a cupcake. #### 20 Harry owns 3 geckos, 2 iguanas, and 4 snakes. If he spends $10 to feed each snake, $5 to feed each iguana, and $15 to feed each gecko every month, how much does he spend every year to feed all his pets? How much does Harry spend to feed his snakes every month? ** He spends $10/snake * 4 snakes = $<<10*4=40>>40 to feed his snakes every month How much does Harry spend to feed his iguanas every month? ** He spends $5/iguana * 2 iguanas = $<<5*2=10>>10 to feed his iguanas every month How much does Harry spend to feed his geckos every month? ** He spends $15/gecko * 3 geckos = $<<15*3=45>>45 to feed his geckos every month How much does Harry spend every month to feed all his pets? ** So overall he spends $40 + $10 + $45 = $<<40+10+45=95>>95 to feed all his pets every month How much does Harry spend every year to feed all his pets? ** Therefore every year pet food costs him $95/month * 12 months = $<<95*12=1140>>1140 #### 1140 John has a raw squat of 600 pounds without sleeves or wraps. Sleeves add 30 pounds to his lift. Wraps add 25% to his squat. How much more pounds does he get out of wraps versus sleeves. How much do wraps add to his lift? ** Wraps add 600*.25=<<600*.25=150>>150 pounds to his lift How much more pounds does he get out of wraps versus sleeves? ** So they add 150-30=<<150-30=120>>120 pounds more than sleeves #### 120 George and Amelia are picking oranges and apples at an orchard. George picks 45 oranges and 5 more apples than Amelia. Amelia picks 18 fewer oranges than George and 15 apples. How many fruits do they pick altogether? How many oranges does Amelia pick? ** Amelia picks 45 - 18 = <<45-18=27>>27 oranges. How many oranges do they pick altogether? ** The total number of oranges that they pick is 45 + 27 = <<45+27=72>>72. How many apples does George pick? ** George picks 15 + 5 = <<15+5=20>>20 apples. How many apples do they pick altogether? ** The total number of apples that they pick is 20 + 15 = <<20+15=35>>35. How many fruits do they pick altogether? ** So, they pick 72 + 35 = <<72+35=107>>107 fruits altogether. #### 107
