Hannah collects mugs. She already has 40 different mugs in 4 different colors. She has three times more blue mugs than red mugs and 12 yellow mugs. Considering that she has only half as many red mugs as yellow mugs, how many mugs of another color than mentioned does she have?
Let's think: Hannah has half as many red mugs as yellow mugs, which means she has 12 * 0.5 = 6 red mugs. Hannas has three times more blue mugs than red ones, which means 3 * 6 = 18 blue mugs. So there are 40 - 18 - 6 - 12 = 4 mugs in a different color than mentioned.. The answer is: 4.

Ron ate pizza with his friends the other day. If they ordered a 12-slice pizza and each of them ate 4 slices, how many friends were there with Ron?
Let's think: Let the number of friends that ate with Ron be represented by F. That means the total amount of people that ate that day were 1 + F. If each of them ate 4 slices, and the pizza only has 12 slices, that means there could only have been 12 / 4 = 3 people eating. If the total number of people eating was 3, and if was also represented by 1 + F then we have 3 = 1 + F. Solving for F we have 3 - 1 = F. F = 2 friends ate with Ron.. The answer is: 2.

Bill and Phil are firehouse Dalmatians. Bill has one less than twice as many spots as Phil. If they have 59 spots combined, how many spots does Bill have?
Let's think: If b is the number of spots Bill has and p is the number of spots Phil has, we know that b + p = 59. We also know that b = 2p - 1. We can substitute the second equation into the first equation to get: 2p - 1 + p = 59. Combining like terms, we get 3p - 1 = 59. Adding 1 to both sides, we get 3p = 60. Dividing both sides by 3, we get p = 20. Substituting this back into the equation b = 2p - 1, we get b = 2 * 20 - 1 = 40 - 1 = 39.. The answer is: 39.

Rhonda, Sally, and Diane are members of their school's track team. The three of them run the 600-meter relay race together. Rhonda runs the first 200 meters of the race, Sally runs the second 200 meters of the race, and Diane runs the final 200 meters of the race. Rhonda can run 200 meters in 24 seconds. Sally takes two seconds longer to run the same distance, while Diane can run 200 meters three seconds faster than Rhonda. How many seconds does it take for the three of them to run the 600-meter relay race?
Let's think:
Sally takes 24 + 2 = 26 seconds. Diane takes 24 - 3 = 21 seconds. Thus, the three take 24 + 26 + 21 = 71 seconds to run the 600 - meter relay race.. The answer is: 71.
