The third building had to be three times as tall as the combined height of the first and second buildings. If the first building was 600 feet, calculate the total height of the three buildings together. How tall is the second building? ** The second building is two times as tall as the first building, a total of 600*2 = <<600*2=1200>>1200 feet. How tall is the first and second building together? ** The total height of the first and the second building is 1200+600 = <<1200+600=1800>>1800 feet. How tall is the third building? ** The third building is three times as tall as the combined height of the first and second buildings, which is 1800*3 = <<1800*3=5400>>5400 feet. How tall are the three buildings together? ** Together, the three buildings have a total height of 5400+1800 = <<5400+1800=7200>>7200 feet. #### 7200 Mary sees a flock of ducks crossing the street. There are 2 ducks with 5 ducklings each, 6 ducks with 3 ducklings each, and 9 ducks with 6 ducklings each. How many ducks and ducklings are there total? How many ducklings do the first two ducks have? ** First find the total number of ducklings the first two ducks have: 2 ducks * 5 ducklings/duck = <<2*5=10>>10 ducklings How many ducklings do the next six ducks have? ** Then find the total number of ducklings the next six ducks have: 6 ducks * 3 ducklings/duck = <<6*3=18>>18 ducklings How many ducklings do the last 9 ducks have? ** Then find the total number of ducklings the last 9 ducks have: 9 ducks * 6 ducklings/duck = <<9*6=54>>54 ducklings How many ducks and ducklings are there total? ** Then add up all the ducks and ducklings to find the total number: 10 ducklings + 18 ducklings + 54 ducklings + 2 ducks + 6 ducks + 9 ducks = <<10+18+54+2+6+9=99>>99 ducks #### 99 Wendy is a fruit vendor, and she sells an apple at $1.50 each and one orange at $1. In the morning, she was able to sell an average of 40 apples and 30 oranges. In the afternoon, she was able to sell 50 apples and 40 oranges. How much are her total sales for the day? How many apples were sold in the morning? ** There were an average of 40 + 50 = <<40+50=90>>90 apples. How many oranges were sold in the morning? ** And, there were 30 + 40 = <<30+40=70>>70 oranges. How much did Wendy make from selling apples? ** Thus, Wendy gained 90 x $1.50 = $<<90*1.5=135>>135 for selling apples. How much did Wendy make from selling oranges? ** And, she gained an additional 70 x $1 = $<<70*1=70>>70 for selling oranges.
