The total distance between 2 towns is 200 miles. Roger and his friend drove 1/4 of the total distance, taking 1 hour to do so. They take lunch for another 1 hour and then drove the remaining distance going at the same speed as before. What's the total amount of time, in hours, Roger and his friend took to travel between the two towns?
Let's think: When they covered 1 / 4 of the total distance, they were 1 / 4 * 200 = 50 miles away from the starting point. The total distance remaining is 200 - 50 = 150 miles. If they took 1 hour to travel 50 miles, their speed was 50 / 1 = 50 miles per hour. If Roger was driving at 50 miles per hour, then the total time it took him to travel 150 miles is 150 / 50 = 3 hours. The total amount of time taken for the whole journey is 3 + 1 + 1 = 5 hours.. The answer is: 5.

Carson leans over the railing at the zoo to get the perfect selfie and falls into the combined wombat and rhea enclosure. There are 9 wombats and 3 rheas. If each wombat claws him 4 times and each rhea claws him once, how many times does he get clawed?
Let's think: First find the total number of times the wombats claw him: 9 wombats * 4 claws / wombat = 36 claws. Then add the number of times the rheas claw him to find the total: 36 claws + 3 claws = 39 claws.. The answer is: 39.

James can make a beret from 3 spools of yarn. If he has 12 spools of red yarn, 15 spools of black yarn, and 6 spools of blue yarn, how many berets can he make?
Let's think: First find the total number of spools of yarn James has: 12 spools + 15 spools + 6 spools = 33 spools. Then divide that number by the number spools each beret needs: 33 spools / 3 spools / beret = 11 berets.. The answer is: 11.

Alden's family invited their relatives for a family reunion on Christmas eve. There were 50 more female adults than male adults, and children were twice the total number of adults. If there were 100 male adults, how many people attended the family reunion?
Let's think:
If the number of female adults was 50 more than the males, then there were 100 + 50 = 150 females. The total number of adults is 150 + 100 = 250. The children were twice the total number of adults, thus 2 * 250 = 500. The total number of people at the family reunion is 500 + 250 = 750.. The answer is: 750.
