Joyce moved to the countryside because she needed more farmland to grow her vegetables. Her new property is 10 times larger than her previous property, but her new land has a 1-acre pond on it where she cannot grow vegetables. If her previous property was 2 acres, how many acres of land does she now own that are suitable for growing vegetables?
Let's think: Joyce's new land is 10 times larger than her old 2 - acre property, for a total of 2 * 10 = 20 acres of land. One acre is not suitable for farming, leaving her with 20 - 1 = 19 acres of land suitable for farming.. The answer is: 19.

The chocolate factory produces 50 candies per hour. It has to fulfill an order and produce 4000 candies. How many days will it take to complete the order if the factory works for 10 hours every day?
Let's think: It will take 4000 candies / 50 candies / hour = 80 hours to make all the candy. It will take 80 hours / 10 hours / day = 8 days to complete the order.. The answer is: 8.

Henry needs to declutter his book collection of 99 books. From his bookshelf, he was able to fill 3 boxes of 15 books each to take to a donation center. He had 21 books in a room he could donate, 4 on his coffee table and 18 cookbooks stashed in the kitchen. When he dropped them off, he noticed a box of books that had a "free to a good home" note. He grabbed 12 books to take back to his place. How many books does Henry now have?
Let's think: He filled 3 boxes with 15 books each so 3 * 15 = 45 books. From the rest of his house he is donating 45 + 21 + 4 + 18 = 88 books for donation. His collection is 99 books and he is donating 88 books, so that leaves him with 99 - 88 = 11 books. He picks up 12 books to add to his collection of 11 books so he now has 12 + 11 = 23 books.. The answer is: 23.

Guise went to a restaurant and ate ten hot dogs on a Monday. That week, he ate two more dogs each day than the previous day. How many hot dogs had Guise eaten by Wednesday that week?
Let's think:
Since Guise was eating 2 more hot dogs each day than the previous day and ate 10 hot dogs on Monday, he ate 10 + 2 = 12 hot dogs on Tuesday. By Tuesday Guise had eaten 12 + 10 = 22 hot dogs. On Wednesday, after eating two more hot dogs than the previous day, the total number of hot dogs he ate is 12 + 2 = 14. In the three days, Guise ate 14 + 22 = 36 hotdogs.. The answer is: 36.
