Question: Jessica just got her driving permit. She must complete 50 hours of driving with a parent to get her driver’s license. It takes 20 minutes to drive to school. If she drives to and from school every day, how many school days will it take Jessica to meet the 50-hour driving requirement?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Jessica will drive 20 minutes, twice every school day (to and from school), so 20 minutes x 2 trips = 40 minutes each day. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 50 hours of driving x 60 minutes / hour = 3,000 minutes. If you take the 3,000 minutes she needs to drive / 40 minutes driving each day = 75 school days to drive 50 hours.
So the answer is 75.


Question: Al is 25 pounds heavier than Ben. Ben is 16 pounds lighter than Carl. If Ed weighs 146 pounds and is 38 pounds lighter than Al, find the weight of Carl.
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Al weighs 146 + 38 = 184 pounds. Ben weighs 184 - 25 = 159 pounds. Carl weighs 159 + 16 = 175 pounds.
So the answer is 175.
