Answer this question:Sue is traveling from New York to San Francisco, 16 hours later after landing in New York from New Orleans. If the journey from New Orleans to New York took 3/4 times as much time as she takes to travel from New York to San Francisco, and she lands in San Francisco 24 hours later after departing from New York, calculate the total time she took to reach San Francisco from New Orleans?
To travel from New Orleans to New York, Sue took 3 / 4 * 24 hours = 18 hours. If she stayed in New York for 16 hours, Sue's total time to travel from New Orleans to San Francisco is: 18 hours from New Orleans to New York + 16 hours in New York + 24 hours from New York to San Francisco = 58 hours.
The answer is 58.

Answer this question:Bucky earns money each weekend catching and selling fish. He wants to save up for a new video game, which costs $60. Last weekend he earned $35. He can earn $5 from trout and $4 from blue-gill. He caught five fish this Sunday. If 60% were trout, and the rest were blue-gill, how much more does he need to save before he can buy the game?
He is $25 short for the game because 60 - 35 = 25. He caught 3 trout because 5 x .6 = 3. He caught 2 blue - gill because 5 - 3 = 2. He earned $15 from the trout because 3 x 5 = 15. He earned $8 from the blue - gill because 2 x 4 = 8. He earned $23 total because 15 + 8 = 23. He is $2 short because 25 - 23 = 2.
The answer is 2.

Answer this question:On his farm, Mr. Mathews has goats and sheep in the ratio of 5:7. He decides to sell half of the goats at $40 each and 2/3 of the sheep at $30 each. How much money does he make from the sale of the animals if the total number of sheep and goats on the farm is 360?
The total ratio of goats and sheep on the farm is 5 + 7 = 12. The fraction that represents goats from the total ratio is 5 / 12, and since there are 360 goats and sheep on the farm, the number of goats is 5 / 12 * 360 = 150. The number of sheep on Mr. Mathews's farm is 360 - 150 = 210. Mr. Mathews sold 1 / 2 * 150 = 75 goats. If each goat went for $40, the total amount of money Mr. Mathews made from the sale of his goats is 75 * $40 = $3000. He also sold 2 / 3 * 210 = 140 of the total sheep on his farm. The income from the sale of the sheep is 140 * $30 = $4200. From the sale of goats and sheep, Mr. Mathews made $4200 + $3000 = $8600.
The answer is 7200.
