Answer this question:Jessica's family is 300 km away from New York. If they are traveling at the rate of 50 km/h and stop to rest for 30 minutes every 2 hours, how long will it take them to reach New York?
Without stopping to rest they will arrive in 300 / 50 = 6 hours. They need to stop to rest after every 2 hours except for the last 2 hour stretch of time, which is when they reach New York, so they rest (6 / 2) - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 times. The time they spend resting is 2 * 30 = 60 minutes or 1 hour. So they will arrive in 6 + 1 = 7 hours.
The answer is 7.

Answer this question:After geometry class, Bill wants to count how many lines he drew. For each shape, he drew one line per side. If he drew 12 triangles, 8 squares, and 4 pentagons, how many lines did he draw?
For the triangles, he drew 36 lines because 12 times 3 equals 36. For the squares, he drew 32 lines because 8 times 4 equals 32. For the pentagons, he drew 20 lines because 4 times 5 equals 20. He drew 88 lines in total because 36 plus 32 plus 20 equals 88.
The answer is 88.

Answer this question:Lisa walks 10 meters each minute. Every day, she walks for an hour. How many meters will Lisa walk in two days?
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, then Lisa walks for 1 x 60 = 60 minutes every day. For 60 minutes, Lisa walks 60 x 10 = 600 meters. Thus, she walks for 600 x 2 = 1200 meters in two days.
The answer is 1200.
