Zippy ran a 24-mile race. She ran 6 miles in 1 hour, 6 miles in
1.2 hours, 6 miles in 1.5 hours, and 6 miles in 1.6 hours. How
long did it take her to finish the race? Round to the tenth
place.
5 1/2 (You will add 1.0 hours + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours
= 5.3 hours) (rounded to the nearest tenth place is 5 1/2)
An office worker mails 25 envelopes to customers each day.
Every envelope contains 3 reports with a paper clip on each
one. The supply of paper clips is provided in boxes of 500.
How many days will it take for the clerk to use up one box of
paper clips? Round to the nearest whole number.
25 envelopes with 3 paperclips in each envelope is sent out every
day. 25x3 = 75 paper clips a day.
Now divide 500 by 75 = 6.66 or 7 days
Train A leaves the station at 1:45 traveling at a constant
speed of 65 mph. 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 hour and 30 mins or 1.5 hours.
,To find out how far it has traveled, we will multiply 1.5 hours by
the speed (65 mph) = 1.5 x 65 = 97.5 miles

If Larry can wash 50 cars in 1/2 hour, how long will it take
him to wash 80 cars?
set up as a ratio... 50 cars / 30 mins. = 80 cars / X
80 cars x 30 mins = 2400
2400 divided by 50 = 48 minutes
A runner leaves his house at 7:45 for a morning run. If he
travels at an average speed of 6 mph and gets back home at
10:00, how many miles 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 Andy runs five times as long as Jake, and Jake runs 24.5
miles each week, how many miles does Andy run in a day?
, Andy runs 5 x as long as Jake (5 x 24.5 = 122.5) which means
Andy runs 122.5 miles in a week. to find how many miles he runs
in a day you will divide 122.5 by 7 (7 days in a week) = 17.5
Two 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.
If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice,
and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average,
