Answer this question:There are 28 students in a classroom. Half of them have 5 notebooks each and the other half have 3 notebooks each. How many notebooks in total are in the classroom?
Half of the class consists of 28 students / 2 = 14 students. One half of the students have 14 students * 3 notebooks / student = 42 notebooks. The other half have 14 students * 5 notebooks / student = 70 notebooks. There are 42 notebooks + 70 notebooks = 112 notebooks in total in the classroom.

Answer this question:Jack goes up three flights of stairs, then down six flights of stairs. If each flight of stairs has 12 steps that each each 8 inches high, how many feet further down is Jack than when he started?
First find the number of inches in each flight of stairs: 12 steps * 8 inches / step = 96 inches. Then find the net number of flights of stairs Jack went down: 6 flights - 3 flights = 3 flights. Then multiply than number by the number of inches per flight to find how many inches further down he is: 96 inches / flight * 3 flights = 288 inches. Then divide that number by 12 to find the number of feet down he is: 288 inches / 12 inches / foot = 24 feet.
The answer is 24.

Answer this question:Ann, Bill, Cate, and Dale each buy personal pan pizzas cut into 4 pieces. If Bill and Dale eat 50% of their pizzas and Ann and Cate eat 75% of the pizzas, how many pizza pieces are left uneaten?
