The white rabbit can hop 15 meters in one minute. The brown rabbit hops 12 meters per minute. What is the total distance the two rabbits will hop in 5 minutes?

How many meters will the white and brown rabbits hop together in one minute? ** White rabbit + brown rabbit = 15 + 12 =

<<15+12=27>>27 How many meters will the white and brown rabbits hop together in 5 minutes? ** 5 minutes * 27 = <<5*27=135>>135 meters How many meters will the white and brown rabbits hop together in 5 minutes? ** The two rabbits will hop 135 meters in 5 minutes. #### 135 Bob wants to build a pyramid out of legos with 3 levels where the bottom level has 7 legos per side and each level has one less lego per side than the level below it. How many legos total will he need? How many legos are on the bottom layer? ** First find the total number of legos on the bottom layer: 7 legos * 7 legos = <<7*7=49>>49 legos How many legos are on the second layer? ** Then find the number of legos per side on the next layer: 7 legos - 1 lego = <<7-1=6>>6 legos How many legos are on the second level? ** Then find the total number of legos on the second level: 6 legos * 6 legos = <<6*6=36>>36 legos How many legos are on the top level? ** Then find the number of legos per side on the top level: 6 legos - 1 lego = <<6-1=5>>5 legos How many legos are on the top level? ** Then find the total number of legos on the top level: 5 legos * 5 legos = <<5*5=25>>25 legos How many legos total will Bob need? ** Then add the number of legos on each level to find the total number of legos: 49 legos + 36 legos + 25 legos = <<49+36+25=110>>110 legos #### 110 The Parker family needs to leave the house by 5 pm for a dinner party.

How many minutes are in 2.5 hours? ** There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 2.5 hours x 60 = <<2.5*60=150>>150 minutes. How many minutes were spent in the bathroom? ** Her family was in the bathroom 45 + 30 + 20 = <<45+30+20=95>>95 minutes.

There are 4 open parking spots on the first level. There are 7 more open parking spots on the second level than on the first level, and there are 6 more open parking spots on the third level than on the second level. There are 14 open parking spots on the fourth level. How many open parking spots are there in all? How many open parking spots are there on the second level? ** The number of open parking spots on the second level is 4 spots + 7 spots = <<4+7=11>>11 spots. How many open parking spots are there on the third level? ** The number of open parking spots on the third level is 11 spots + 6 spots = <<11+6=17>>17 spots. How many open parking spots are there in all? ** There are 4 spots + 11 spots + 17 spots + 14 spots = <<4+11+17+14=46>>46 open parking spots in all. #### 46 Anna sold 36 glasses of plain lemonade for $0.75 each. If she made $16 total from selling strawberry lemonade, how much more did she make from plain lemonade than strawberry? How much did Anna make from selling plain lemonade? ** First find Anna's total earnings from the plain lemonade: 36 glasses * $0.75/glass = $<<36*0.75=27>>27 How much more did Anna make from plain lemonade than strawberry? ** Then subtract her earnings from the strawberry lemonade to find the difference: $27 - $16 = $<<27-16=11>>11 #### 11 For every 5 people that attend a poetry class, the teacher gives one of the students a lollipop. If 45 people show up for class, then another 15 come in a while later, how many lollipops did the teacher give away? How many people come in total? ** The teacher has 45 + 15 = <<45+15=60>>60 people come in total How many groups of 5 people and lollipops are given away? ** For every 5 people, a lollipop is given away so there are 60 / 5 = <<60/5=12>>12 groups of 5 people and 12 lollipops given away #### 12 There is a pie-eating contest at school. Adam eats three more pies than Bill. Sierra eats twice as many pies as Bill. If Sierra ate 12 pies, how many pies were eaten in total?

There are 320 spaces in section 1, and 200 more in section 2 than in section 3. How many spaces are made available in section 2 of the parking lot? How many spaces are there in sections 2 and 3? ** There are a total of 1000 spaces - 320 spaces = <<1000-320=680>>680 spaces in both sections 2 and 3. How many spaces are there in section 2? ** Let the number of spaces in section 3 be x. The number of spaces in section 2 = x + 200. Write an equation ** We know that 320 + x + 200 + x = 1000. Combine like terms ** Combining like terms, we get 2x = 480 Divide by 2 ** Dividing both sides by 2 produces x = 240. How many spaces are there in section 2? ** The number of spaces in section 2 is 240 + 200 = <<240+200=440>>440. #### 440 Mo is buying valentine's day cards for the class.
