Question: Lilly and Fiona are cleaning a room. Between them, it takes 8 hours to clean the room. A quarter of the time spent cleaning was by Lilly and Fiona was responsible for the rest of the cleaning. How long, in minutes, was Fiona cleaning?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Lilly cleaned for 8 hours / 4 = 2 hours. This means that Fiona was cleaning for 8 hours total cleaning – 2 hours Lilly’s cleaning = 6 hours. So in minutes, Fiona was cleaning for 6 hours * 60 minutes in an hour = 360 minutes.
So the answer is 360.


Question: Mary brought 50 stickers to class. She gave 4 stickers to each of her 5 friends. She gave everyone else in class two stickers each. If she has 8 stickers left over, how many students are in the class, including Mary?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
She gave out 50 - 8 = 42 stickers in total. She gave 4 * 5 = 20 stickers to her friends. She gave out 42 - 20 = 22 stickers to the rest of the class. This means there are 22 / 2 = 11 other students in the class. There are a total of 1 + 5 + 11 = 17 students in the class.
So the answer is 17.
