[Question]The fifth grade class at Rosa Parks Elementary School is holding a food drive. Half the students in Ms. Perez's class collected 12 cans each, two students didn't collect any, and the remaining 13 students students each collected 4 cans. If Ms. Perez's class has 30 students, how many cans did they collect total?
[Answer]Then find how many students in Ms. Perez's class collected 12 cans each: 30 students / 2 = 15 students. Then find how many cans the students who collected 12 cans each collected in total: 15 students * 12 cans / student = 180 cans. Then find how many cans the students who collected 4 cans each collected in total: 13 students * 4 cans / student = 52 cans. Then add both amounts of cans to find the total: 180 cans + 52 cans = 232 cans. The answer is 232.
Q: Marcy uses 6 ounces of pet cleaner to clean up a dog stain, 4 ounces to clean up a cat stain, and 1 ounce to clean up a rabbit stain. How much cleaner does she need to clean up after 6 dogs, 3 cats and 1 rabbit?
A: First find the total amount of cleaner used for the dogs: 6 ounces / dog * 6 dogs = 36 ounces. Then find the total amount of cleaner used for the cats: 4 ounces / cat * 3 cats = 12 ounces. Then add the amount of cleaner used for each species to find the total amount used: 36 ounces + 12 ounces + 1 ounce = 49 ounces. The answer is 49.
Question: Jack is making flower crowns out of red, pink and white daisies. There are nine times as many pink daisies as white daisies and three less than four times as many red daisies as pink daisies. If there are 6 white daisies, how many daisies are there total?
Answer: First find the total number of pink daisies: 9 * 6 daisies = 54 daisies. Then multiply that number by 4: 54 daisies * 4 = 216 daisies. Then subtract 3 to find the total number of red daisies: 216 daisies - 3 daisies = 213 daisies. Then add the number of each color of daisies to find the total number: 54 daisies + 213 daisies + 6 daisies = 273 daisies. The answer is 273.
[Question]Three companies, A, B, and C, each purchased 10 ad spaces on a newspaper, with each ad space having a size of 12 foot by 5-foot rectangle. If each square foot ad was charged at $60, how much money did the three pay for the ads combined?
[Answer]A size 12 foot by 5 - foot rectangle ad takes 12 * 5 = 60 square feet since the area of a rectangle is l * w. If each company bought 10 ad spaces, the total area that their ads took is 60 * 10 = 600 square feet. If each square foot of ad space was charged at $60, 600 square feet of ads cost $60 * 600 = $36000. If all three companies each purchased an equal number of ad space, together they paid $36000 * 3 = $108000. The answer is 108000.
Q: Darma can eat 20 peanuts in 15 seconds. At this same rate, how many peanuts could she eat in 6 minutes?
A: There are 60 * 6 = 360 seconds in 6 minutes. Then there are 360 / 15 = 24 sets of 15 seconds. So, Darma could eat 24 x 20 = 480 peanuts. The answer is 480.
Question: Chad has 100 apples and each apple has different sizes and different price ranges. Each small apple cost $1.5, medium apple cost $2, and big apples cost $3. If Donny bought 6 small and medium apples and also 8 big apples, how much will Donny have to pay for all of it?
Answer:
Donny was charged $1.5 x 6 = $9 for the small apples. He was charged $2 x 6 = $12 for the medium apples. And he was also charged $8 x 3 = $24 for the big apples. Therefore, Donny has to pay $9 + $12 + $24 = $45 for all the apples. The answer is 45.
