A river is to be used for a boat race.

Question: If each boat is 3 feet across and they must have at least 2 feet between them or the riverbank, how many boats can race in a river that is 42 feet across?
Answer: Each boat will require 3 feet across to fit itself and 2 feet space on one side for a total of 2+3 = <<3+2=5>>5 feet per boat
The last boat will need an additional 2 feet space on its other side, so this 2 feet should be subtracted first from the 42 feet which leaves 42-2 = <<42-2=40>>40 feet
5 feet per boat on the remaining 40 feet for a total of 40/5 = <<40/5=8>>8 boats

Joseph and his friends watched two movies in his house. The first movie is 1 hour and 30 minutes long while the second movie is 30 minutes longer than the first. Before the movies, they spent 10 minutes making popcorn and twice as long making fries.

Question: How long, in hours, did it take Joseph and his friends to cook and watch the movies?
Answer: The first movie was 60 + 30 = <<60+30=90>>90 minutes long since an hour has 60 minutes.
The second movie was 90 + 30 = <<90+30=120>>120 minutes long.
It took them a total of 90 + 120 = <<90+120=210>>210 minutes to watch the two movies.
It took them 10 x 2 = <<10*2=20>>20 minutes to cook the fries.
Thus, it took them a total of 10 + 20 = <<10+20=30>>30 minutes to cook.
So, they spent 210 + 30 = <<210+30=240>>240 minutes watching the movies and cooking.
In hours, this is equal to 240/60 = <<240/60=4>>4 hours.

Eustace is twice as old as Milford. In 3 years, he will be 39.

Question: How old will Milford be?
Answer: Eustace’s current age must be 39 years old – 3 years = <<39-3=36>>36 years old.
So Milford’s current age must be 36 years old / 2 = <<36/2=18>>18 years old.
So in 3 years, Milford will be 18 years old + 3 years = <<18+3=21>>21 years old.

Three adults whose average weight is 140 pounds went first in the elevator. Two children whose average weight is 64 pounds also went inside. If an elevator sign reads “Maximum weight 600 pounds.

Question: ", what is the maximum weight of the next person to get in the elevator so that it will not be overloaded?
Answer: The sum of the weights of the three adults is 140 x 3 = <<140*3=420>>420 pounds.
The sum of the weight of the two children is 64 x 2 = <<64*2=128>>128 pounds.
So the total weight of the 5 people who are in the elevator is 420 + 128 = <<420+128=548>>548 pounds.
This would mean that the next person's weight must not exceed 600 - 548 = <<600-548=52>>52 pounds.

Frank needs to meet a quota at work for his sales. It’s the beginning of the month and in 30 days he needs to have 50 cars sold. The first three days he sold 5 cars each day. Then the next 4 days he sold 3 cars each day.

Question: If the month is 30 days long how many cars does he need to sell for the remaining days to meet his quota?
Answer: On days one, two, and three he sold 5 cars each day so, 5 cars + 5 cars + 5 cars = <<5+5+5=15>>15 cars that he sold on those days.
On days 4,5,6 and 7 he sold 3 cars each day so, 3 cars + 3 cars + 3 cars + 3 cars = <<3+3+3+3=12>>12 cars that he sold on those days.
Now we combine the cars he has already sold, which is 15 cars, and 12 cars, so 15 cars + 12 cars = <<15+12=27>>27 cars are sold in total.
If he needs to sell 50 cars and has already sold 27 cars then 50 cars - 27 cars = <<50-27=23>>23 cars left to sell to meet his quota.

Question: How many hours would he need to jump rope?
Answer: He can jump 3*60=<<3*60=180>>180 times per minute
So he can jump 180*60=<<180*60=10800>>10,800 per hour
So it would take him 54,000/10,800=<<54000/10800=5>>5 hours

John drinks 2 energy drinks. 1 of them is a 12-ounce drink with 250 grams of caffeine. The second drink is 3 times more caffeinated per ounce but only 2 ounces. He then takes a caffeine pill that has as much caffeine as his 2 drinks combined.

Question: How much caffeine did he consume?
Answer: The second drink was 2/12=1/6 the size of the first drink
So it had 1/6*3=1/2 the caffeine
That means it had 1/2*250=<<250/2=125>>125 grams of caffeine
So the total amount of caffeine he drank was 125+250=<<125+250=375>>375 grams
So he consumed 375*2=<<375*2=750>>750 grams of caffeine for the day

Rose had 10 kilograms of rice. She cooked 9/10 kilograms in the morning and 1/4 of the remaining in the evening.

Question: How many grams of rice did she have left?
Answer: Rose cooked 10 x 9/10 = <<10*9/10=9>>9 kilograms of rice in the morning.
She had 10 - 9 = <<10-9=1>>1 kilogram of rice left then.
One kilogram is equal to 1 x 1000 = <<1*1000=1000>>1000 grams.
So, Rose cooked 1000 x 1/4 = <<1000*1/4=250>>250 grams of rice in the evening.
Therefore, she has 1000 - 250 = <<1000-250=750>>750 grams of rice left.

Tina is getting $20 for each book she sells.

Question: If she realizes a $120 profit on her sales, how many people have she sold the books to if each book costs $5 to make and every customer buys 2 at a time?
Answer: First, we need to determine the profit per book. To do this, we perform 20-5=<<20-5=15>>15 dollars in profit per book.
Next, we divide the total sales by the profit per book, performing 120/15=<<120/15=8>>8 books sold in total.
Since the books are sold 2 at a time, we divide the number sold by 2 to find the total number of people sold to, performing 8/2=<<8/2=4>>4 people in total.

Question: If she had 60 pens and gave eight pens and 6 pencils to each of her seven friends and kept the rest for herself, how many pens and pencils did she have left?
Answer: Catherine gave eight pens to each of her seven friends, a total of 8*7 = <<8*7=56>>56 pens.
She remained with 60-56 = <<60-56=4>>4 pens.
When she also gave 6 pencils to each of her seven friends, she gave away 6*7 = <<6*7=42>>42 pencils.
Since she had the same number of pencils as pens, she remained with 60-42 = <<60-42=18>>18 pencils.
The total number of pens and pencils that Catherine remained with is 4+18 = <<4+18=22>>22

Timothy has $50 to spend at a souvenir shop. He sees some t-shirts that cost $8 each, key chains that sell 3 pieces for $2, and bags that cost $10 each. Timothy buys 2 t-shirts and 2 bags.

Question: How many pieces of key chains can he buy with the amount of money he has left?
Answer: The two t-shirts amount to $8 x 2 = $<<8*2=16>>16.
The two bags amount to $10 x 2= $<<10*2=20>>20.
So Timothy spent $16 + $20 = $<<16+20=36>>36 for the shirts and bags.
He still has $50 - $36 = $<<50-36=14>>14 left to spend for the key chains.
With the money, he can buy $14/$2 = <<14/2=7>>7 sets of key chains.
Therefore, he can buy 7 x 3 = <<7*3=21>>21 pieces of key chains.

Derek is watching the construction cranes downtown and is trying to figure out how much taller they have to be than the building they are building. He sees one crane that is 228 feet tall finishing a building that was 200 feet tall. He sees another that is 120 feet tall finishing a building that is 100 feet tall. The final crane he sees is 147 feet tall, finishing a building that is 140 feet tall.

Question: On average, what percentage taller are the cranes than the building?
Answer: The first crane is 14 percent taller because if 200 + 200x = 228 then x=.14
The second crane is 20 percent taller because if 100 + 100x = 120 then x = .2
The third crane is 5 percent taller because if 140 + 140x = 147 then x = .5
The total percent is 39 because 14 + 20 + 5 = <<14+20+5=39>>39
The average percent greater the height of the crane is than the building is 13 because 39 / 3 = <<39/3=13>>13

A spider has eight legs.

Question: If a group of spiders has 10 more spiders than half as many legs as a single spider has, what is the total number of spider legs in this group of spiders?

Flora has been experiencing frequent fractures. Dr. Juan has asked her to strengthen her bones by drinking 105 gallons of milk within 3 weeks. Flora thinks that drinking 3 gallons of milk daily will be enough, but her brother says she'll still need to drink more.

Question: To fulfill Dr. Juan’s requirement, how many more gallons must Flora drink daily?
Answer: 3 weeks translate to 3 * 7 days = <<3*7=21>>21 days.
To meet Dr. Juan’s recommendation would mean drinking 105/21 = <<105/21=5>>5 gallons daily.
This means that Flora must drink 5 -3 = <<5-3=2>>2 more gallons daily.
