If 6 textbooks cost $354, how much do 13 textbooks cost?
if 6 textbooks cost $354, then 1 textbook costs: $354/6= $59. Since 1 textbook cost
$59, 13 textbooks will cost $59* 13= $767
A runner leaves his house at 7:45 for a morning run. If he travels at an average
speed of 6mph and gets back home at 10:00, how far did he run?
If the runner is out from 7:45 to 10:00, he ran for 2:15.
2;15= 2.25 hours.
Since he travels at an average of 6mph, his total travel distance is 2.25*6= 13.5
miles.
If Alice consumes two times as many calories as Claire, and Claire consumes 2.500
calories a day, how many calories does Alice consume a week?
If Alice consumes twice as many calories as Claire, and Claire consumes 2,500 every
day, then Alice will consume 5,000 per day. The question asks how many calories
Alice will consume in a week, so: 5,000*7= 35,000 calories
Jessie can answer multiplication problems at a rate of 6 problems every 20
seconds. If she has a 10- minute test with 175 questions on it, will she finish in
time?
If Jessie can answer 6 questions in 20 seconds, and there are 60 seconds in a
minute, she can answer 36=18 questions each minute. Since the test is 10 minutes
long, she can answer 1018=180 questions.
therefore, she will finish the 175-question test and could even complete 5 more
, 2 workers can finish building a play set in 18 hours. How long will it take 4 workers
to build 3 play sets?
If 2 workers can finish a play set in 18 hours, it would take half the time, or 9 hours,
to finish the play set with 4 workers. It would then take 93 hours to finish building
3 play sets: 9 hours3play sets=27hours.
A bookstore has 50% more fantasy books than biographies. What is the ratio of
fantasy books to biographies?
If there are 50% more fantasy books than biographies, then we can create false
numbers and say that if there are 100 biographies, there will be 150 fantasy
books. The ratio of fantasy books to biographies, then, is 150: 100. dividing by
50, the ratio simplifies to 3:2
Train A leaves the station at 1:45 traveling at a constant speed of 65mph. If it
arrives at its destination at 3:15, how many miles did it travel?
If the train leaves at 1:45 and arrives at 3:15 it has been traveling for 1.5 hours. to
find how far it has traveled, we multiply by the speed: 1.5*65=97.5
two buildings in downtown Chicago stand across the river from each other. The
first buildings height is 1,700ft and it casts a shadow that is 525ft long. If the second
building's height is 1,450 feet, how long will its shadow be at the same time of the
day (round to the nearest foot)?
If the height of the first building is 1,700ft while its shadow is 525ft, and the
second building's height is 1,450ft tall, it sets up this proportion:
1,700/525=1,450/x. By cross multiplying and solving for x we find:
1,700x=761,250; x=448ft long
