Lena is making a collage with pictures of all her closest friends and newspaper clippings that are about their interests. She has found three clippings for each friend's pictures. It takes her six drops of glue to stick down each clipping. Lena has already glued her seven closest friends' pictures. How many drops of glue will she need for the newspaper clippings for her collage?
Let's think: Lena has 3 clippings per friend, so she has 3 * 7 = 21 clippings to glue. She needs 6 drops of glue per clipping, so she will need 6 * 21 = 126 drops of glue.. The answer is: 126.

Barry, Thomas and Emmanuel are to share a jar of 200 jelly beans. If Thomas takes 10%, and Barry and Emmanuel are to share the remainder in the ratio 4:5 respectively, how many jelly beans will Emmanuel get?
Let's think: 10% of 200 jelly beans is (10 / 100) * 200 = 20 jelly beans. Thomas takes 20 jelly beans leaving 200 - 20 = 180 jelly beans. 180 jelly beans are to be shared in the ratio 4:5 so each share is 180 / (4 + 5) = 20 jelly beans. Emmanuel gets 5 shares which is 5 * 20 = 100.. The answer is: 100.

Telegraph Road goes through multiple states and is 162 kilometers long. Pardee Road is 12000 meters long. How many kilometers longer is Telegraph Road than Pardee Road?
Let's think: Telegraph = 162 km * 1000 m = 162000 m. Pardee = 12000 m. 162000 - 12000 = 150,000 meters. Telegraph is 150 km longer than Pardee Road.. The answer is: 150.

Tom plants a tree that is 1 year old and 5 feet tall. It gains 3 feet per year. How old is it when it is 23 feet tall?
Let's think:
It has grown 23 - 5 = 18 feet. So it is 18 / 3 = 6 years older. That means it is 6 + 1 = 7 years old.. The answer is: 7.
