Answer this question:A Burmese python that was 1.4 meters long swallowed a 50-centimeter alligator. After one week, the alligator was completely digested. If this snake continues to eat 50-centimeter-long alligators at a constant rate of one alligator per week, what is the maximum number of alligators that the snake can eat in 616 days?
Since one week is 7 days. 616 days is 616 / 7 = 88 weeks. Since the python eats 1 alligator per week, in 88 weeks it can eat 88 / 1 = 88 alligators.
The answer is 88.

Answer this question:Every day Janet spends 8 minutes looking for her keys and another 3 minutes complaining after she finds them. If Janet stops losing her keys, how many minutes will she save every week?
First find the total time Janet spends looking for her key and complaining each day: 8 minutes / day + 3 minutes / day = 11 minutes / day. Then multiply that number by the number of days in a week to find the weekly time spent: 11 minutes / day * 7 days / week = 77 minutes.
The answer is 77.
