Kwame studied for the history test for 2.5 hours. Connor studied for 1.5 hours and Lexia studied for 97 minutes. How many minutes more did Kwame and Connor study than Lexia?
Let's think: Kwame = 2.5 hours * 60 minutes = 150 minutes. Connor = 1.5 hours * 60 minutes = 90 minutes. Kwame + Connor = 150 + 90 = 240 minutes. 240 - 97 = 143 minutes. Kwame and Conner studied 143 minutes more than Lexia.. The answer is: 143.

Amy is building 2 3 ft long by 3 ft wide garden beds and 2 4ft long by 3 ft wide garden beds. What is the total sq ft of growing space that she will have?
Let's think: The first bed is 3 feet long by 3 feet wide so it's 3 * 3 = 9 sq ft. She's building 2 beds that are this size so that's 2 * 9 = 18 sq ft of growing space. The second bed is 4 feet long by 3 feet wide so it's 4 * 3 = 12 sq ft. She's building 2 beds that are this size so that's 2 * 12 = 24 sq ft of growing space. The smaller beds are 18 sq ft and the larger beds are 24 sq ft for a total of 18 + 24 = 42 sq ft of growing space.. The answer is: 42.

Bob is tilling a plot of his garden. The plot is 110 feet wide by 120 feet long. His tiller digs a swath two feet wide, and he can till 1 foot of ground in about 2 seconds. How long will it take him to till this plot of land, in minutes?
Let's think: If Bob goes along the side that's 120 feet long, he will till 110 / 2 = 55 rows. Each of these rows are 120 feet long, so he will push the tiller a total of 120 * 55 = 6,600 feet. He tills 1 linear foot of ground every 2 seconds, so it will take him 2 * 6,600 = 13,200 seconds to till this plot. 13,200 seconds is 13,2000 / 60 = 220 minutes.. The answer is: 220.

Juvy has a garden that has 20 rows with 10 plants in each row. She plants parsley in the first 3 rows and rosemary in the last two rows. The rest of the rows will be planted with chives. How many chives will Juvy plant?
Let's think:
Juvy planted 3 + 2 = 5 rows with parsley and rosemary. So, 20 - 5 = 15 rows will be planted with chives. Therefore, 15 x 10 = 150 chives will be planted.. The answer is: 150.
