Each turtle lays a clutch of 20 eggs. If 40% of the eggs successfully hatch, how many hatchlings do 6 turtles produce? | First find the number of eggs that each turtle successfully hatches: 20 eggs * 40% = <<20*40*.01=8>>8 eggs
Then multiply the number of eggs per turtle by the number of turtles to find the total number of eggs: 8 eggs/turtle * 6 turtles = <<8*6=48>>48 turtles

The distance between the second store and third store is 2/3rds longer than the distance between the first two stores. The distance from his house to the first store and the last store to work is the same, 4 miles. How long in miles is Jason's commute to work?
A: | First find the additional distance between the second store and the third store: 6 miles * 2/3 = <<6*2/3=4>>4 miles
Then add that to the distance between the first two stores to find the total distance between the second and third stores: 4 miles + 6 miles = <<4+6=10>>10 miles
Then add the distance between the first two stores, the distance from Jason's house to the first store, and the distance from the last store to work: 10 miles + 6 miles + 4 miles + 4 miles = <<10+6+4+4=24>>24 miles

Carolyn is planning out her final essay. The introduction will be 450 words, the conclusion will be triple the length of the introduction, and each of the four body sections will be the same length. If her essay has to be 5000 words total, how long is each section? | First find the length of the conclusion by tripling the length of the introduction: 450 words * 3 = <<450*3=1350>>1350 words
Then subtract the length of the introduction and conclusion from the total length to find the combined length of the body sections: 5000 words - 1350 words - 450 words = <<5000-1350-450=3200>>3200 words
Then divide the combined length of the body section by the number of body sections to find the length of each section: 3200 words / 4 sections = <<3200/4=800>>800 words/section

4/5 of the Easter eggs are blue and 1/5 are purple. Half the purple eggs have five pieces of candy each, and 1/4 of the blue eggs do. The rest of the eggs only have one piece of candy. If Jerry opens one egg at random, what is the percentage chance he'll get 5 pieces of candy? | First find the probability Jerry gets a blue egg with 5 pieces of candy by multiplying the independent probabilities: 4/5 * 1/4 = 1/5 = 20%
Then find the probability he gets a purple egg with 5 pieces of candy the same way: 1/5 * 1/2 = 1/10 = 10%
Then add the probabilities of the two possible ways to get 5 pieces of candy to find the total probability: 20% + 10% = 30%

Miles and Daphne are comparing their reading collection and want to figure out who has more pages. They are about to count each page, but their parents suggest that they see whose collection is taller. Mile's collection is taller, but then Daphne notices that Miles reads board books, and so the pages are thicker. After some more measuring, they figure out that for Miles, 1 inch equals 5 pages, but for Daphne 1 inch equals 50 pages. If Miles's books are 240 inches tall and Daphne's collection is 25 inches tall, how many pages are in the longest collection? | Miles's collection has 1,200 pages because 240 x 5 = <<240*5=1200>>1,200
