Ajax is 80 kilograms. He is planning to lose some weight. Exercising for an hour will help him lose 1.5 pounds. If 1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds How many pounds will he weigh if he exercises for 2 hours every day for two weeks?
Let's think: Ajax weighs 80 x 2.2 = 176 in pounds. He will lose 1.5 x 2 = 3 pounds per day. So he will lose 3 x 7 = 21 pounds per week. So, he will lose 21x 2 = 42 pounds after 2 weeks. Therefore, he will weigh 176 - 42 = 134 pounds after 2 weeks.. The answer is: 134.

Billy has 8 hours of free time on each day of the weekend. He wants to spend 75% of his time playing video games and the rest of his time reading. He can read 60 pages an hour and his books all contain 80 pages. How many books does he read?
Let's think: He has 16 hours because 2 x 8 = 16. He is going to spend 25% of his time reading because 100 - 75 = 25. He has 4 hours to read because 16 x .25 = 4. He will read 240 pages because 4 x 60 = 240. He will read 3 books because 240 / 80 = 3.. The answer is: 3.

Seven parrots and some crows are perched on a tree branch. There was a noise and the same number of parrots and crows flew away. If only 2 parrots and 1 crow are left on the tree branch now, how many birds were perched on the branch to begin with?
Let's think: The number of parrots that flew away after the noise is 7 - 2 = 5. The same number of crows (5) flew away leaving 1 crow so there were 5 + 1 = 6 crows to begin with. The total number of crows and parrots was 7 + 6 = 13.. The answer is: 13.

If two piles of toys added together make 120 toys in total, and the larger of the two piles is twice as big as the smaller one, how many toys are in the larger pile?
Let's think:
First, we set up the equation 3x = 120, dividing both sides by three to find that x = 40. Then we multiply X by 2 to find that 40 * 2 = 80. As 80 / 2 = 40, and 40 + 80 = 120, we find the sizes of the two piles as the larger pile is twice as big as the smaller pile, confirming that 80 is the answer.. The answer is: 80.
