Question: It takes 30 minutes to make pizza dough and another 30 minutes in the oven for the pizza to cook. If one batch of pizza dough can make 3 pizzas but the oven can only fit 2 pizzas at a time, how many hours would it take for Camilla to finish making 12 pizzas?
Answer: Camilla needs 12 / 3 = 4 batches of pizza dough. 4 batches of pizza would require 30 x 4 = 120 minutes. Camilla needs to bake the pizzas 12 / 2 = 6 times. 6 times in the oven would take 30 x 6 = 180 minutes. Altogether, it would take 120 + 180 = 300 minutes to finish making 12 pizzas. 300 minutes is 300 / 60 = 5 hours. The answer is 5.

Q: Pat is having a picnic with her family. She has 42 cookies. She also has 63 pieces of candy and 21 brownies. There are 7 people in her family. If each person gets the same number of each dessert, how much will each person get?
A: Each person gets 42 cookies / 7 people = 6 cookies. Each person gets 63 pieces of candy / 7 people = 9 pieces of candy. Each person gets 21 brownies / 7 people = 3 brownies. Each person will get 6 + 9 + 3 = 18 desserts. The answer is 18.
Question: A spaceship is traveling to another planet. The spaceship travels at a consistent speed its entire journey unless it is stopped for the crew’s break. After launch, the spaceship traveled for 10 hours then stopped for 3 hours. It then traveled for another 10 hours then stopped for 1 hour. After this, the spaceship would take an hour’s break after every 11 hours of traveling and maintained this routine until the end of its journey. If the entire journey took 3 days then how long, in hours, was the spaceship not moving?
Answer: On the first day, the spaceship spent a total of 10 hours + 10 hours = 20 hours traveling. On the first day, the spaceship spent a total of 3 hours + 1 hour = 4 hours not moving. This is a total of 20 hours traveling + 4 hours not moving = 24 hours or 1 day. So the rest of the journey took place over 3 days journey – 1 first day = 2 days. This is the same as 2 days * 24 hours = 48 hours. In these 2 days, the spaceship’s time is split into 11 hours traveling + 1 hour break = 12 hour blocks. So in the last 2 days, the spaceship wasn't moving for a total of 48 hours / 12 hour blocks = 4 hours. Adding this to breaks from the first day shows that the spaceship was not moving for a total of 4 + 4 = 8 hours. The answer is 8.
