Q: Kiaan is doing home delivery of newspapers in his neighborhood of 200 homes. After an hour of work, he has distributed newspapers to 2/5 of the homes. After another 2 hours of working, he realizes he has distributed newspapers to 60 percent of the remaining homes. How many homes does he still need to distribute the newspapers to?
A: After the first hour of work, he has distributed newspapers to 2 / 5 * 200 = 80 homes. The number of homes that still need newspapers is 200 - 80 = 120. Two hours later, the number of homes he has distributed newspapers to is 60 / 100 * 120 = 72 homes. The number of homes he still needs to distribute newspapers to is 120 - 72 = 48 homes. The answer is 48.
Question: Gloria wants to buy the $129,000 mountain cabin that her friend Alfonso is selling. She only has $150 in cash. She intends to raise the remaining amount by selling her mature trees for lumber. She has 20 cypress trees, 600 pine trees, and 24 maple trees. She will get $100 for each cypress tree, $300 for a maple tree, and $200 per pine tree. After paying Alfonso for the cabin, how much money will Gloria have left?
Answer: The cypress trees will earn Gloria 20 trees * $100 / tree = $2000. From the sale of the cypress trees, Gloria will also make 600 trees * $200 / tree = $120000. Finally, the maple trees will bring in 24 trees * $300 / tree = $7200. Combining all the amounts will give Gloria a total of $150 + $2000 + $120000 + $7200 = $129350. Subtracting the cost of the mountain cabin from the total will leave Gloria with a balance of $129350 - $129000 = $350. The answer is 350.

Q: Antonio is preparing a meal of spaghetti and meatballs for his family. His recipe for meatballs calls for 1/8 of a pound of hamburger per meatball. Antonio has 8 family members, including himself. If he uses 4 pounds of hamburger to make meatballs, and each member of the family eats an equal number of meatballs, how many meatballs will Antonio eat?
A:
If one meatball is made from 1 / 8 pound of hamburger meat, then 4 pounds of hamburger meat will make 4 / (1 / 8) = 4 * 8 = 32 meatballs. 32 meatballs divided amongst 8 family members is 32 / 8 = 4 meatballs per family member. The answer is 4.
