Question: Chris wanted to buy a new video game that costs $60 as well as an assortment of candy that costs $5. To earn the money, he agreed to babysit his little sister for $8 per hour. If he works 9 hours, how much money will be left over after he makes his purchases?

[Question]Matt's entire family was going to spend the week at the lake house for vacation. Matt's family included his mom, dad, his older brother and his wife and their 4 kids. His Uncle Joe and his wife were also coming and would bring their 3 kids. The house only sleeps 4 people. Everyone else would sleep 2 to a tent outside. How many tents would they need?
[Answer]We need to add Matt's entire family together so 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 14. Only 4 people could sleep in the house so 14 - 4 = 10 people would sleep in a tent. Each tent sleeps 2 people and there were 10 people left so 10 / 2 = 5 tents were needed. The answer is 5.
Q: Jane runs 3 kilometers in two hours. What is her speed in meters per minute?
A: Since 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, then 3 kilometers is 3 x 1000 = 3000 meters. Since an hour has 60 minutes, then 2 hours is equal to 2 x 60 = 120 minutes. Therefore, her speed is 3000 meters / 120 hours = 25 meters per minute. The answer is 25.
