Emily loves to have pets and for that reason, she has 4 dogs in her home. Each one eats 250 grams of food per day. She has to go on vacation for 14 days.

Question: How many kilograms of food should she buy for her 4 dogs so they don't starve while she is out?
Answer: Each dog would eat 250 grams so 4 will would eat 4 x 250 grams = <<4*250=1000>>1000 grams of food per day.
1.000 grams is equal a 1 kilogram.
Emily is going on vacation for 14 days and with the 4 dogs together eating 1 kilogram of food per day, 14 days x 1 kg of food/day = <<14*1=14>>14 kg of food would be enough for two weeks.

A basketball team played 40 games and won 70% of the games. It still had 10 games to play.

Question: How many games can they lose to win 60% of their games?
Answer: The team has won 40 x 70/100 = <<40*70/100=28>>28 games out of 40.

The team has to win a total of is 50 x 60/100 = <<50*60/100=30>>30 games.
So, it still needs to win 30 - 28 = <<30-28=2>>2 more games.
Hence, they can still lose 10 - 2 = <<10-2=8>>8 games.

Jerry needs to shingle 3 roofs. Each roof is made of two slanted rectangular sides measuring 20 feet by 40 feet.

Question: If he needs 8 shingles to cover one square foot of roof, how many shingles does he need total?
Answer: First find the area of one side of a roof: 20 feet * 40 feet = <<20*40=800>>800 square feet
Then multiply that number by 2 to find the total area of both sides of the roof: 800 square feet/side * 2 sides = 1600 square feet
Then multiply that number by the number of roofs to find the total area of all the roofs: 1600 square feet/roof * 3 roofs = 4800 square feet
Then multiply the total area of the roofs by the number of shingles needed per square foot to find the total number of shingles needed: 4800 square feet * 8 singles/square foot = <<4800*8=38400>>38400 shingles

Andy is running late. School starts at 8:00 AM and it normally takes him 30 minutes to get there, but today he had to stop for 3 minutes each at 4 red lights and wait 10 minutes to get past construction.

Question: If he left his house at 7:15, how many minutes late will he be?

Colbert is building a treehouse out of wooden planks. The treehouse needs 200 wooden planks. A quarter of these planks come from Colbert’s storage, half of these planks come from Colbert’s parents, 20 planks come from Colbert’s friends and he buys the rest from the store.

Question: How many planks of wood does he need to buy from the store to finish his treehouse?
Answer: In Colbert’s storage, there are 200 wooden planks / 4 = <<200/4=50>>50 wooden planks.
From his parents, there are 200 wooden planks / 2 = <<200/2=100>>100 wooden planks.
So in total, Colbert has not had to buy 50 wooden planks from storage + 100 wooden planks from his parents + 20 wooden planks from his friends = <<50+100+20=170>>170 wooden planks.
He therefore still needs to buy 200 needed wooden planks – 170 owned wooden planks = <<200-170=30>>30 wooden planks.

Mr Fletcher hired 2 men to dig a well in his compound. They worked for 10 hours on the first day, 8 hours on the second day and finished the job on the third day after working 15 hours.

Question: If Mr Fletcher paid each of them $10 per hour of work, calculate the total amount of money they received altogether?
Answer: The total number of hours each worker works in the first 2 days is 10+8 = <<10+8=18>>18 hours.
Since they completed the job in three days, each was compensated for 18+15 = <<18+15=33>>33 hours of work.

Question: How many ounces of pet food did Mrs. Anderson buy?
Answer: The two bags of cat food weigh 2 x 3 = <<2*3=6>>6 pounds.
Each bag of dog food weighs 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 pounds.
So two bags of dog food weigh 2 x 5 = <<2*5=10>>10 pounds.
Thus, Mrs. Anderson bought 6 + 10 = <<6+10=16>>16 pounds of pet food.
And 16 pounds is equal to 16 x 16 = <<16*16=256>>256 ounces.

A small zoo houses a variety of 68 wild animals. After they send a gorilla family of six to a different zoo, they adopt a hippopotamus from another zoo. A while later, an animal rescue contacted them, and the zoo took in three endangered rhinos. Then one of their lionesses gave birth to cubs, and they opened a meerkat exhibit with twice as many meerkats as they had gained lion cubs. The zoo then had 90 animals in all.

Question: How many lion cubs were born at the zoo?
Answer: Let C be the number of lion cubs.
There are 2C meerkats in the new exhibit.
The zoo sent 4 gorillas away, so they had 68 - 6 = <<68-6=62>>62 animals left.
They adopted a hippopotamus, so they had 62 + 1 = <<62+1=63>>63 animals.
They took in 3 rhinos, so they had 63 + 3 = <<63+3=66>>66 animals.
Thus, they had 90 - 66 = <<90-66=24>>24 new lion cubs and meerkats.
Therefore, they had C + 2C = 3C = 24 new lion cubs as meerkats.
Hence, there were C = 24 / 3 = <<24/3=8>>8 lion cubs born.
