[Question]Jason drives past 3 convenience stores on his way to work. The distance between the first store and the second store is 6 miles. The distance between the second store and third store is 2/3rds longer than the distance between the first two stores. The distance from his house to the first store and the last store to work is the same, 4 miles. How long in miles is Jason's commute to work?
[Answer]First find the additional distance between the second store and the third store: 6 miles * 2 / 3 = 4 miles. Then add that to the distance between the first two stores to find the total distance between the second and third stores: 4 miles + 6 miles = 10 miles. Then add the distance between the first two stores, the distance from Jason's house to the first store, and the distance from the last store to work: 10 miles + 6 miles + 4 miles + 4 miles = 24 miles. The answer is 24.
Q: Mark spent 220 dollars to fix his car. It needed two parts that cost 20 dollars each, and labor cost .5 dollars a minute. How many hours did the mechanic work?
A: Labor cost is .5 * 60 = 30 dollars per hour. The cost for parts is 20 * 2 = $40. The total cost for labor is 220 - 40 = $180. He spent 180 / 30 = 6 hours on labor. The answer is 6.
Question: Lee is saving up for a new pair of sneakers which cost $90. He already has $15 saved. He plans to sell his old action figures to make the rest. If he sells 10 action figures and still has $25 left after buying the sneakers how much did he charge per action figure?
Answer: Before buying the shoes he had $115 dollars because 90 + 25 = 115. He earned $100 from selling action figures because 115 - 15 = 100. He sold them each for $10 because 100 / 10 = 10. The answer is 10.
[Question]The teacher agrees to order pizza for the class. For every student in the class, she will buy 2 pieces of cheese and 1 piece of onion and they will eat exactly that amount. A large pizza has 18 slices. She orders 6 total pizzas and there are 8 pieces of cheese and 4 pieces of onion leftover. How many students are in the class?
[Answer]Cheese pizzas are 2 / 3 of the pizza's purchased because 2 / (2 + 1) = 2 / 3. She buys 4 cheese pizzas because 6 x (2 / 3) = 4. These give her 72 pieces of cheese pizza because 4 x 18 = 72. The students at 64 pieces of cheese because 72 - 8 = 64. There are 32 students in her class because 64 / 2 = 32. The answer is 32.
