[Question]The school is having a book-a-thon. The winning class gets a pizza party. The fifth grade has 20 students and one week to read as much as possible. The 6th grade already finished and read a total of 299 hours. How many hours does each student in 5th grade need to average per day to beat them by 1?
[Answer]The class needs to read 300 hours in a week because 299 + 1 = 300. The class needs to read 60 hours a day because 300 / 5 = 60. Each student needs to read 3 hours a day because 60 / 20 = 3. The answer is 3.

Question: Eliza can iron a blouse in 15 minutes and a dress in 20 minutes. If she spends 2 hours ironing blouses and 3 hours ironing dresses, how many pieces of clothes did she iron?
Answer: Since 60 minutes equal 1 hour, in 2 hours, Eliza ironed blouses for 2 x 60 = 120 minutes. Eliza can iron 120 / 15 = 8 blouses. Since 60 minutes equal 1 hour, in 3 hours, Eliza ironed dresses for 3 x 60 = 180 minutes. Eliza can iron 180 / 20 = 9 dresses. In total, Eliza ironed 8 + 9 = 17 pieces of clothes. The answer is 17.
[Question]On a Sunday morning, Josephine sold milk in the farm stall. The buyers brought their containers. She filled three containers with two liters each, two containers with 0.75 liters each, and five containers with 0.5 liters each. How many liters of milk did Josephine sell in total?
[Answer]Josephine filled a total of 2 x 3 = 6 liters from the three containers with two liters each. She filled a total of 0.75 x 2 = 1.5 liters from the two containers with 0.75 liters each. She filled a total of 0.5 x 5 = 2.5 liters from the five containers with 0.5 liters each. Therefore, she sold a total of 6 + 1.5 + 2.5 = 10 liters of milk. The answer is 10.
[Question]A clothing store sells 20 shirts and 10 pairs of jeans. A shirt costs $10 each and a pair of jeans costs twice as much. How much will the clothing store earn if all shirts and jeans are sold?
[Answer]
Twenty shirts amount to $10 x 20 = $200. The cost of each pair of jeans is $10 x 2 = $20. So 10 pairs of jeans amount to $20 x 10 = $200. Therefore, the store will earn $200 + $200 = $400 if all shirts and jeans are sold. The answer is 400.
