Answer this question:A desert has 3/5 fewer palm trees than a nearby forest, which has 5000 palm trees. How many palm trees are there in both the desert and the forest combined?
The desert has 3 / 5 fewer palm trees than the forest, and since the forest has 5000 palm trees, the desert has 3 / 5 * 5000 = 3000 fewer palm trees. The total number of palm trees in the desert is 5000 - 3000 = 2000. Together, the desert and the forest have a total of 5000 + 2000 = 7000 palm trees.
The answer is 7000.

Answer this question:Janet is getting paid to moderate social media posts. She gets paid 25 cents per post she checks. If it takes her 10 seconds to check a post, how much does she earn per hour?
First find the number of seconds in an hour: 1 hour * 60 minutes / hour * 60 seconds / minute = 3600 seconds / hour. Then divide the total number of seconds per hour by the number of seconds it takes Janet to read one post: 3600 seconds / hour / 10 seconds / post = 360 posts / hour. Then multiply the number of posts she checks per hour by her pay per post to find her hourly pay: $0.25 / post * 360 posts / hour = $90 / hour.
The answer is 90.
