Q: Pablo’s mother agrees to pay him one cent for every page he reads. He plans to save the money for some candy. Pablo always checks out books that are exactly 150 pages. After reading his books, he went to the store and bought $15 worth of candy and had $3 leftover. How many books did Pablo read?
A: He gets $1.5 per book because .01 x 150 = 1.5. He earned $18 because 15 + 3 = 18. He read 12 books because 18 / 1.5 = 12. The answer is 12.

Q: Jason, Ryan, and Jeffery went fishing at the lake. Ryan caught three times the number of fish that Jason caught. Jefferey caught twice the number of fish that Ryan got. If Jeffery caught 60 fish, how many fish did all of them catch in total?
A: Ryan caught 60 / 2 = 30 fish. Jason caught 30 / 3 = 10 fish. So, all of them caught a total of 10 + 30 + 60 = 100 fish. The answer is 100.

Q: Jackie can do 5 push-ups in 10 seconds. How many push-ups can she do in one minute if she takes two 8-second breaks?
A:
There are 60 seconds per minute, so Jackie’s push - up routine takes 1 * 60 = 60 seconds. Her breaks last 2 * 8 = 16 seconds. She does push - ups for 60 - 16 = 44 seconds. She can do a push - up in 10 / 5 = 2 seconds. Therefore, Jackie can do 44 / 2 = 22 push - ups in one minute with breaks. The answer is 22.
