Neeley bought a loaf of bread from the store and sliced it into 12 pieces. His family ate a third of the bread slices for breakfast. Then Neeley used 2 bread slices to make a sandwich for lunch. How many slices of bread remain?
Let's think: For breakfast, the family ate 12 / 3 = 4 slices of bread. After breakfast, the family has 12 - 4 = 8 slices of bread remaining. After Neeley's lunch, there are 8 - 2 = 6 slices of bread remaining.. The answer is: 6.

Bailey is making a rectangle out of a 100cm length of rope he has. If the longer sides of the rectangle were 28cm long, what is the length of each of the shorter sides?
Let's think: The longer sides are 2 in number so their total length of 2 * 28cm = 56cm. The rest of the length making up the short sides is 100 - 56 = 44 cm. There are two equal short sides so each one is 44 / 2 = 22cm.. The answer is: 22.

8 years ago James was twice Janet's age. In 15 years James will turn 37. Susan was born when Janet turned 3. How old will Susan turn in 5 years?
Let's think: James is 37 - 15 = 22 years old. So 8 years ago he was 22 - 8 = 14 years old. That means Janet was 14 / 2 = 7 years old 8 years ago. So Janet is now 7 + 8 = 15 years old. That means Susan is 15 - 3 = 12 years old. So in 5 years she will be 12 + 5 = 17 years old.. The answer is: 17.

Hannah has three dogs. The first dog eats 1.5 cups of dog food a day. The second dog eats twice as much while the third dog eats 2.5 cups more than the second dog. How many cups of dog food should Hannah prepare in a day for her three dogs?
Let's think:
The second dog eats 1.5 x 2 = 3 cups of dog food. The third dog eats 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 cups. So, Hannah should prepare 1.5 + 3 + 5.5 = 10 cups.. The answer is: 10.
