Question: Tanesha needs to buy rope so cut into 10 pieces that are each six inches long. She sees a 6-foot length of rope that cost $5 and also sees 1-foot lengths of rope that cost $1.25 each. What is the least she has to spend to get the rope she needs?
Answer: She needs 60 inches of rope because 10 x 6 equals 60. The six - foot length of rope is 72 inches long because 6 x 12 = 72. The six - foot length of rope would give her 12 pieces because 72 / 6 = 12. The six - foot length is long enough because 12 > 10. Each 1 - foot rope equals 12 inches. She would need 5 of the 1 - foot ropes because 60 / 12 = 5. If she bought one - foot ropes it would cost $6.25 because 5 x 1.25 = 6.25. The cheapest rope to buy is the 6 - foot rope because 5 < 6.25. The answer is 5.

Question: Gigi is baking cookies. The recipe for 1 batch of cookies calls for 2 cups of flour. She bakes 3 batches of cookies. If her bag of flour contains 20 cups of flour, how many more batches of cookies could Gigi make in the future with the remaining amount of flour?
Answer: For 3 batches of cookies, Gigi uses 3 * 2 = 6 cups of flour. The amount of flour remaining in the bag is 20 - 6 = 14 cups of flour. Since 1 batch uses 2 cups of flour, Gigi can make 14 / 2 = 7 more batches of cookies. The answer is 7.

Question: Edward had $17.80 to spend at the toy store. He bought 4 toy cars that cost $0.95 each and a race track that cost $6.00. How much money does Edward have left to buy more toys?
Answer:
The cost of the toy cars is 4 × $0.95 = $3.80. The total cost of the toys is $3.80 + $6.00 = $9.80. Edward has $17.80 − $9.80 = $8.00 left. The answer is 8.
