Question: Grace is looking to plant some lettuce in her raised bed garden. Her raised bed is comprised of 2 large beds on top with 2 medium beds on the bottom. The top bed can hold 4 rows of lettuce with 25 seeds being sown per row. The medium bed can house 3 rows with 20 seeds being sown per row. How many seeds can Grace plant in all four beds of her raised bed garden?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: A large bed can hold 4 rows with 25 seeds per row, 4 * 25 = 100 seeds per large bed. 100 seeds per large bed and there are 2 beds, 100 * 2 = 200 seeds needed in total for both large beds. A medium bed can hold 3 rows with 20 seeds sown per row, 3 * 20 = 60 seeds per medium bed. 60 seeds per medium bed and there are 2 medium beds, 60 * 2 = 120 seeds needed in total for both medium beds. 200 seeds needed for the large beds combined with 120 seeds needed for the medium beds comes to 200 + 120 = 320 seeds needed to plant all four beds of the raised garden bed.
So the answer is 320.


Question: Janeth bought 5 bags of round balloons with 20 balloons in each bag. She also bought 4 bags of long balloons with 30 balloons in each bag. While blowing up the balloons, 5 round balloons burst. How many balloons are left?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Janeth bought 5 x 20 = 100 round balloons. She bought 4 x 30 = 120 long balloons. So, she has a total of 100 + 120 = 220 balloons. Since 5 round balloons burst, then there are only 220 - 5 = 215 balloons left.
So the answer is 215.


Question: Kate has 2 red balloons and 4 blue balloons. Assuming she inflates 4 more balloons, two of each color red and blue, what is the percent likelihood that one selected at random will be red?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
After inflating the 4 new balloons, she will have 2 red + 4 blue + 4 new = 10 total balloons. The probability of selecting red will be (2 red + 2 red newly inflated) / 10 total balloons = 40%.
So the answer is 40.
