Farmer Red has three milk cows: Bess, Brownie, and Daisy. Bess, the smallest cow, gives him two pails of milk every day. Brownie, the largest cow, produces three times that amount. Then Daisy makes one pail more than Bess. How many pails of milk does Farmer Red get from them each week?
Let's think: Bess produces 2 pails every day. Brownie produces 3 times as much * 2 = 6 pails every day. Daisy produces 2 + 1 more pail than Bess = 3 pails every day. Bess, Brownie, and Daisy together produce 2 + 6 + 3 = 11 pails every day. A week is 7 days, so Farmer Red gets 11 * 7 = 77 pails each week.. The answer is: 77.

Jeremy buys 30 watermelons. He eats 3 watermelons per week. Each week he gives 2 to his dad. How many weeks will the watermelons last?
Let's think: Jeremey goes through 3 + 2 = 5 watermelons per week. Therefore, the watermelons will last him to 30 / 5 = 6 weeks.. The answer is: 6.

Randy just turned 12 and started playing the piano. His friend Sheila told him about the 10,000-hour rule which says, after 10,000 hours of practice, you become an expert or master in your field. If Randy wants to become a piano expert before he is 20, how many hours a day will he need to practice if he practices every day, Monday – Friday, and takes two weeks off for vacation each year?
Let's think: Randy has 20 – 12 = 8 years until he is 20. He must practice 10,000 hours / 8 years = 1,250 hours a year to become an expert. There are 52 weeks in a year – 2 weeks of vacation Randy plans to take = 50 weeks of practice for Randy. Randy will practice Monday – Friday, which is 5 days a week, so 50 weeks x 5 days = 250 days of practice each year. Randy will need to practice 1250 hours / 250 days = 5 hours each day.. The answer is: 5.

There are 110 calories in a serving of cheese. Rick buys the large blocks that have 16 servings per block. If Rick has already eaten 5 servings of cheese, how many calories are remaining in the block?
Let's think:
The block has 16 servings and he has eaten 5 servings leaving 16 - 5 = 11 servings of cheese. There are 11 servings of cheese left and each serving is 110 calories for a total of 11 * 110 = 1,210 calories.. The answer is: 1210.
