Amber is trying to decide if she wants to spend her $7 on candy or chips. She decides to buy the thing that she can get the most of. The bags of candy cost $1 and contain 12 ounces each. The bags of chips are $1.40 and contain 17 ounces each. How many ounces does she get if she buys the item that gives her the most?
Let's think: She can buy 7 bags of candy because 7 / 1 = 7. She can buy 5 bags of chips because 7 / 1.4 = 5. She gets 84 ounces of candy because 7 x 12 = 84. She gets 85 ounces of chips because 5 x 17 = 85. The gets 85 ounces in food because 85 > 84.. The answer is: 85.

The height of the tree in Kilmer Park is 52 feet. Each year it grows 5 feet. In 8 years, what will the height of the tree be in inches, assuming 1 foot is 12 inches.
Let's think: In 8 years, the tree will have grown 5 * 8 = 40 feet. In 8 years, the tree will be 52 + 40 = 92 feet. In 8 years, the tree will be 92 * 12 = 1104 inches.. The answer is: 1104.

Allison went to the craft store with her friend Marie to buy some glue sticks and construction paper. Allison bought 8 more glue sticks than Marie, but Marie bought six times as many packs of construction paper as Allison. If Marie bought 15 glue sticks and 30 packs of construction paper how many craft supply items did Allison buy all together?
Let's think: Allison bought 8 + 15 = 23 glue sticks. Allison bought 30 / 6 = 5 packs of construction paper. Allison bought 23 + 5 = 28 craft supply items.. The answer is: 28.

Arthur knows that he needs to finish 800 pages of reading over the summer. He has read 80% of a 500-page book and 1/5 of a 1000 page book. How many more pages does he need to reach to meet his goal?
Let's think:
He read 400 pages from the 500 page book because 500 x .8 = 400. He read 200 pages from the 1000 page book because 1000 x (1 / 5) = 200. He has read 600 pages in total. He needs to read 200 more pages to reach 800 pages because 800 - 600 = 200.. The answer is: 200.
