[Question]If Janet reads 80 pages a day and Belinda reads 30 pages a day, how many more pages does Janet read in 6 weeks?
[Answer]First find the total number of days in 6 weeks: 6 weeks * 7 days / week = 42 days. Then find the total difference in the number of pages Janet and Belinda read each day: 80 pages / day - 30 pages / day = 50 pages / day. Then multiply the daily difference by the number of days to find the total difference in the number of pages they read: 50 pages / day * 42 days = 2100 pages. The answer is 2100.
Q: Mary bought six apples from the store. From the apples she bought, for each that Mary ate, she planted two trees from the remaining ones. How many apples did Mary eat?
