The novel that everyone is reading for English class has half as many pages as their history book. Their science book has 4 times the amount of pages as their novel. If the history book has 300 pages, how many pages does their science book have?
Let's think: Their novel is half as long as their 300 - page history book so it is 300 / 2 = 150 pages. Their science book has 4 times the amount of pages as their novel, which is 150 pages, so their science book has 4 * 150 = 600 pages.. The answer is: 600.

Marsha works as a delivery driver for Amazon. She has to drive 10 miles to deliver her first package, 28 miles to deliver her second package, and half that long to deliver her third package. If she gets paid $104 for the day, how many dollars does she get paid per mile?
Let's think: First find how far Marsha drives to deliver the third package: 28 miles / 2 = 14 miles. Then find how many miles she drives total by adding the miles for the three legs of her journey: 14 miles + 28 miles + 10 miles = 52 miles. Then divide her total pay by the number of miles she drives to find her pay per mile: $104 / 52 miles = $2 / mile.. The answer is: 2.

Mason has 3 cartons of 200 blueberries. He makes as many muffins as he can with 10 blueberries per muffin. Then he makes 60 cinnamon muffins. What percentage of all the muffins he made have blueberries?
Let's think: First find the total number of blueberries Mason has: 200 blueberries / carton * 3 cartons = 600 blueberries. Then divide the total number of blueberries by the number of blueberries per muffin: 600 blueberries / 10 blueberries / muffin = 60 muffins. Then add that number of muffins to the number of cinnamon muffins to find the total number of muffins: 60 muffins + 60 muffins = 120 muffins. Then divide the number of blueberry muffins by the total number of muffins and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 60 muffins / 120 muffins * 100% = 50%.. The answer is: 50.

Russel and Jen went to the circus. Jen played a shooting game twice, while Russel rode the carousel three times. If the shooting game costs 5 tickets and the carousel costs 3 tickets. How many tickets did they use?
