Answer this question:A bus has a carrying capacity of 80 people. At the first pickup point, the number of people who entered the bus was 3/5 of its carrying capacity. If there were 50 people at the next pick-up point, how many people could not take the bus because it was full?
At the first pick - up point, the number of people who entered the bus was 3 / 5 of its carrying capacity, a total of 3 / 5 * 80 = 48. The available seats in the bus after the first pick up point is 80 - 48 = 32. If there were 50 people in the second pick - up station, and only 32 sits were available, the number of people who did not take the bus because it was full is 50 - 32 = 18.
The answer is 18.

Answer this question:Pat is hunting for sharks to take photos. For every photo he takes he earns $15. He sees a shark about every 10 minutes. His boat fuel costs $50 an hour. If he shark hunts for 5 hours, how much money can he expect to make in profit?
He will use $250 in fuel because 5 x 50 = 250. He will be shark hunting for 300 minutes because 5 x 60 = 300. He can expect to see 30 sharks because 300 / 10 = 30. He will make $450 off these photos because 30 x 15 = 450. He will make $200 in profit because 450 - 250 = 200.
The answer is 200.

Answer this question:The Zargon Destroyer spacecraft can travel at 2 billion miles per hour in normal space, but when moving through a black hole they travel three times faster. If the Zargon Destroyer is making a voyage that travels seven hours in normal space and two hours through a black hole, how many billions of miles would they have traveled?
A spacecraft flying through normal space for seven hours at 2 - billion miles per hour travels 7 * 2 = 14 billion miles. A spacecraft flying through a black hole at 3 * 2 = 6 billion miles per hour. Thus, a spacecraft flying through a black hole for two hours travels 2 * 6 = 12 billion miles. Therefore, in total, the Zargon spacecraft will travel 14 + 12 = 26 billion miles.
The answer is 26.

Answer this question:Mara and Riley went to a carnival, Mara rode the bumper car two times, Riley rode the space shuttle four times, and they both rode the Ferris wheel three times. If a ticket for a bumper car cost $2, a ticket for a space shuttle cost $4, and a ticket for a Ferris wheel cost $5, how much money did they spend?
Mara spent $2 x 2 = $4 for riding the bumper car two times. Riley spent $4 x 4 = $16 for riding the space shuttle 4 times. They spent $5 x 3 = $15 each riding the Ferris wheel 3 times. So, they spent a total of $15 x 2 = $30 riding the Ferris wheel. Therefore the total amount they spent at the carnival is $4 + $16 + $30 = $50.
The answer is 50.
