Q: A store sells 20 packets of 100 grams of sugar every week. How many kilograms of sugar does it sell every week?
A: A total of 20 x 100 = 2000 grams are sold every week. Since 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, then 2000 / 1000 = 2 kilograms of sugar are sold every week. The answer is 2.
Question: The gummy bear factory manufactures 300 gummy bears a minute. Each packet of gummy bears has 50 gummy bears inside. How long would it take for the factory to manufacture enough gummy bears to fill 240 packets, in minutes?
Answer: The factory creates 300 gummy bears a minute, which means it produces 300 / 50 = 6 packets of gummy bears per minute. It would take 240 / 6 = 40 minutes to manufacture enough gummy bears to fill 240 packets. The answer is 40.
[Question]Mark wants to set the record for most consecutive ropes jumped. The record is 54,000. He can jump 3 times a second. How many hours would he need to jump rope?
[Answer]He can jump 3 * 60 = 180 times per minute. So he can jump 180 * 60 = 10,800 per hour. So it would take him 54,000 / 10,800 = 5 hours. The answer is 5.
[Question]The ratio of coins that Elsa has to that which Amalie has is 10:45. If the total number of coins they have is 440, and Amalie spends 3/4 of what she has on toys, how many will she remain with?
[Answer]
The total ratio of the coins they both have is 10 + 45 = 55. The fraction of the ratio representing the number of coins that Amalie has is 45 / 55, and since the total number of coins they both have is 440, Amalie has 45 / 55 * 440 = 360 coins. When Amalie spends 3 / 4 of what she has, she parts with 3 / 4 * 360 = 270 coins. She still has 360 coins - 270 coins = 90 coins. The answer is 90.
