My brother and I have thirty minutes to go to school, without being late. It takes us 15 minutes to arrive at the school gate, and another 6 minutes to get to the school building. How much time do we have to get to our room, without being late?

The total time we spent going to school is 15 minutes + 6 minutes = <T>add(15, 6)=21 minutes. We have 30 minutes - 21 minutes = <T>subtract(30, 21)=9 minutes left not to be late.

Emily can type 60 words per minute. How many hours does it take her to write 10,800 words?

In an hour, Emily can type 60 words *60 minutes = <T>multiply(60, 60)=3600 words. It will take her 10800/3600 = <T>divide(10800, 3600)=3.0 hours to write 10800 words.

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 = <T>multiply(240, 5)=1200 Daphne's collection has 1,250 pages because 25 x 50 = <T>multiply(25, 50)=1250 The largest collection has 1,250 pages because 1,250 > 1,200

There were 21 dollars in the cookie jar. Doris spent $6 from the cookie jar. Martha spent half as much as Doris. How much money, in dollars, was left in the cookie jar?

Maryann can pick the lock on a cheap pair of handcuffs in 6 minutes and on an expensive pair of handcuffs in 8 minutes. If Maryann needs to rescue three of her friends who have expensive handcuffs on their hands and cheap handcuffs on their ankles, how long will it take for her to free all of them?

First find the total time it takes Maryann to rescue one friend: 6 minutes + 8 minutes = <T>add(6, 8)=14 minutes Then multiply the time to save one friend by the number of friends Maryann needs to save: 14 minutes/friend * 3 friends = <T>multiply(14, 3)=42 minutes

A coffee shop brews 10 coffee cups per hour on a weekday and 120 coffee cups in total over the weekend. If the coffee shop is open 5 hours a day every single day, how many coffee cups are brewed in 1 week?

On a weekday, the shop produces 10 coffee cups per hour * 5 hours per weekday = <T>multiply(10, 5)=50 coffee cups. The coffee shop therefore brewed 50 coffee cups per day * 5 weekdays in a week = <T>multiply(50, 5)=250 coffee cups. So in total, the coffee shop brewed a total of 250 weekday coffee cups + 120 weekend coffee cups = <T>add(250, 120)=370 coffee cups in 1 week.

Josh has some money. He spent $1.75 on a drink, and then spent another $1.25. If he had $6 left, how much money, in dollars, did Josh have at first?

Elijah is painting his living room and decides to buy masking tape to make his painting neater. 2 of his walls are 4 meters wide and the other 2 walls are 6 meters wide. Elijah needs enough masking tape to cover the entire width of each wall and can order the exact amount of masking tape he needs. How many meters of masking tape does Elijah need to order?

For 2 of the walls, Elijah will need 2 walls * 6 meters each = <T>multiply(2, 6)=12 meters of masking tape. For the other 2 walls, he will need 2 walls * 4 meters each = <T>multiply(2, 4)=8 meters of masking tape. He will therefore need a total of 12 + 8 = <T>add(12, 8)=20 meters of masking tape.

Kenny played basketball last week. He ran for twice as long as he played basketball, and he practiced on the trumpet for twice as long as he ran. If he practiced on the trumpet for 40 hours, how many hours did Kenny play basketball last week?

Owen bred 21 turtles, and Johanna has 5 fewer turtles than Owen. After 1 month, Owen has twice as many turtles as before and Johanna loses half of her turtles and donates the rest to Owen. How many turtles did Owen have?

Johanna had 21 turtles - 5 turtles = <T>subtract(21, 5)=16 turtles. After 1 month, Owen was left with 21 turtles * 2 = <T>multiply(21, 2)=42 turtles. After 1 month, Johanna was left with 16 turtles / 2 = <T>divide(16, 2)=8.0 turtles. After Johanna's donation, Owen was left with 42 turtles + 8 turtles = <T>add(42, 8)=50 turtles.

Emma buys 2 containers of milk every school day for lunch. She does not go to school on the weekends. How many containers of milk does she buy in 3 weeks?

There are 5 school days in a week: 5 days/week x 2 containers of milk/day = 10 containers of milk every week Finally the number of container for 3 weeks is 3 weeks x 10 containers/week = <T>multiply(3, 10)=30 containers

Chelsea has 24 kilos of sugar. She divides them into 4 bags equally. Then one of the bags gets torn and half of the sugar falls to the ground. How many kilos of sugar remain?

Each bag has 24/4=<T>divide(24, 4)=6.0 kilos of sugar. 6/2=<T>divide(6, 2)=3.0 kilos of sugar falls to the ground. 24-3=<T>subtract(24, 3)=21 kilos of sugar remains.

Iain has 200 pennies. He realizes that 30 of his pennies are older than he is. If he wishes to get rid of these pennies and then throw out 20% of his remaining pennies, how many will he have left?

Start with taking out the older pennies 200 pennies - 30 pennies = <T>subtract(200, 30)=170 pennies Take the 170 pennies * .20 = <T>multiply(170, 0.2)=34.0 170 pennies - 34 pennies = <T>subtract(170, 34)=136 pennies.

A third of all the cats in the village have spots. A quarter of the spotted cats in the village are fluffy. If there are 120 cats in the village, how many of the cats are spotted and fluffy?

If a third of the cats have spots and a quarter of those are fluffy (1 / 3) x (1 / 4) = 1/ 12 cats are both fluffy and spotted. Out of 120 cats, 120 cats / 12 = <T>divide(120, 12)=10.0 cats are spotted and fluffy.

A school canteen sells a sandwich at $2, a hamburger at $2, one stick of hotdog at $1, and a can of fruit juice at $2 each can. Selene buys three sandwiches and a can of fruit juice. Tanya buys two hamburgers and two cans of fruit juice. How much do Selene and Tanya spend together?

Three sandwiches cost 3 x $2 = $<T>multiply(3, 2)=6 So, Selene spends $6 + $2 = $<T>add(6, 2)=8 Two hamburgers cost 2 x $2 = $<T>multiply(2, 2)=4 Two cans of fruit juice cost 2 x $2 = $<T>multiply(2, 2)=4 Thus, Tanyah spends $4 +$4 = $<T>add(4, 4)=8 Therefore, Selene and Tanya spend $8 + $8 = $<T>add(8, 8)=16

Hillary always buys the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday editions of the local newspaper for $0.50 each. On Sunday, she spends $2.00 to get that copy. How much does she spend on the newspaper over 8 weeks?

She buys Wednesday, Thursday and Friday's paper for $0.50 each so that's 3*.50 = $<T>multiply(3, 0.5)=1.5 She spends $1.50 for the weekday papers and $2.00 for the Sunday paper for a total of 1.5+2 = $<T>add(1.5, 2)=3.5 a week Over 8 weeks she spends 8*3.5 = $<T>multiply(8, 3.5)=28.0

If Billy and Jenny each order a $20 steak along with a $5 drink, how much will Billy have to pay in tips if he wants to cover 80% of a 20% tip for the two of them?

First, we figure out the price per meal by adding the steak and the drink together, finding a cost of 20+5=<T>add(20, 5)=25 per meal. Then we multiply this by 2, as there are two people eating, meaning a total cost of 25*2=<T>multiply(25, 2)=50 for both meals. Then we find the total tip amount for a 20% tip, by multiplying 50*.2= 10. Then we find out what 80% of this tip amount is by multiplying the desired tip of 10 by .8, finding 10*.8= <T>multiply(10, 0.8)=8.0 dollars that Billy should contribute.

Emma is planning a dinner party, so she went to a shop to buy the products she needs. She bought 8 kg of cheese and 7 kg of vegetables. One kilogram of cheese costs $4 and one kilogram of vegetable costs is $2 more expensive. How much did she pay for her shopping?

Emma payed 8 kg * $4/kg = $<T>multiply(8, 4)=32 for the cheese. The cost of one kilogram of vegetable is $4 + $2 = $<T>add(4, 2)=6 So Emma payed 7 kg * $6/kg = $<T>multiply(7, 6)=42 for vegetables. In total Emma payed $32 + $42 = $<T>add(32, 42)=74 for her shopping.

Kameron has 100 kangaroos on his large farm; Bert has 20 kangaroos on his farm. In how many more days will Bert have the same number of kangaroos as Kameron does now if he buys kangaroos at the same rate of 2 new kangaroos per day?

If Kameron has 100 kangaroos, he has 100-20= <T>subtract(100, 20)=80 more kangaroos than Bert. Buying 2 kangaroos every day, it will take Bert 80/2=40 days to have the same number of kangaroos as Kameron has now.

Bella is making bracelets for her 6 friends. She needs 8 beads per bracelet. She has 36 beads. How many more beads does she need to make all six bracelets?

Bella needs a total of 8 beads x 6 friends = <T>multiply(8, 6)=48 beads. She needs 48 beads – 36 beads = <T>subtract(48, 36)=12 more beads.

Alice and Emily are selling oranges at the farmer's market. Alice sold twice as many oranges as Emily did. In total, they sold 180 oranges. How many oranges did Alice sell?

Carla can cook a batch of waffles in 10 minutes and chicken-fried steak in 6 minutes. How long will it take her to cook 3 steaks and a batch of waffles?

First find the total cook time for the steaks: 3 steaks * 6 minutes/steak = <T>multiply(3, 6)=18 minutes Then add the waffles' cook time to find the total cook time: 18 minutes + 10 minutes = <T>add(18, 10)=28 minutes

Remi prepared a tomato nursery and planted tomato seedlings. After 20 days, the seedlings were ready to be transferred. On the first day, he planted 200 seedlings on the farm. On the second day, while working alongside his father, he planted twice the number of seedlings he planted on the first day. If the total number of seedlings transferred to the farm on these two days was 1200, how many seedlings did his father plant?

On the second day, he planted 2 * 200 seedlings = <T>multiply(2, 200)=400 seedlings. The total number of seedlings Remi planted on the two days is 400 seedlings + 200 seedlings = <T>add(400, 200)=600 seedlings. If the total number of seedlings transferred from the nursery was 1200 after the second day, Remi's father planted 1200 seedlings - 600 seedlings = <T>subtract(1200, 600)=600 seedlings.

Paul lives in a 5th story apartment. He makes 3 trips out from and back to his apartment throughout the day each day of a week. How many feet does he travel vertically in total over the week if each story is 10 feet tall?

Since Paul makes 3 trips per day, and each trip involves going both down and up, this means he travels the full vertical distance of his apartment complex 3*2=<T>multiply(3, 2)=6 times a day. Since there are 7 days in a week, this means he makes this trip 6*7=42 times a week. Since each story is 10 feet tall, that means with 5 stories he travels 5*10= <T>multiply(5, 10)=50 feet each trip. Since he made 42 trips of 50 feet each, this means he traveled 50*42= <T>multiply(50, 42)=2100 feet in a week.
