[Question]The trip from Philip's house to the children's school is 2.5 miles, and the trip to the market is 2 miles. He makes the round trip to school two times (when taking the children to school and when bringing them back) every day for 4 days a week. Then he makes a round trip to the market once during weekends. What is his car's mileage for a typical week?
[Answer]Making the round trip to school means driving from the house to school and then back, for a total of 2.5 + 2.5 = 5 miles. He makes this trip twice in one day for a total of 2 * 5 = 10 miles. He does this 4 times in a week for a total of 4 * 10 = 40 miles. The round trip (once a week) to the market is 2 + 2 = 4 miles. His total mileage for a typical week = 40 + 4 = 44 miles. The answer is 44.

During the same week, it rained 26 mm at his house. How much less rain did Greg experience while camping?

[Question]Archie holds the school record for most touchdown passes with 89 in a season of 16 games. Richard is close to breaking the record, having averaged 6 touchdowns a game in the first 14 games. How many touchdowns per game must he average in the final two games to beat Archie's record?
[Answer]Richard has scored 84 touchdowns because 14 x 6 = 84. To beat the record he must score 90 touchdowns because 89 + 1 = 90. He needs 6 more touchdowns to beat the record because 90 - 84 = 6. He has two games left because 16 - 14 = 2. He needs to average 3 touchdowns a game to beat the record because 6 / 2 = 3. The answer is 3.
[Question]Santana has 7 brothers. 3 of them have birthdays in March, 1 of them has a birthday in October, 1 has a birthday in November, and another 2 of them were born in December. If Santana always buys each of her brothers a birthday present and a Christmas present, how many more presents does she have to buy in the second half of the year than the first half of the year?
[Answer]
Santana has 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 brothers with birthdays in the second half of the year. She has 7 brothers - 4 brothers = 3 brothers with birthdays in the first half of the year. Altogether, she has to buy 4 + 7 = 11 presents in the second half of the year. Therefore, she has to buy 11 - 3 = 8 more presents in the second half of the year. The answer is 8.
