Question: Ann can skate 6 miles an hour. Her friend Glenda can skate 8 miles an hour. If they start in the same place and skate in straight lines in opposite directions for 3 hours, how many miles apart do they end up?
Answer: First find how far Glenda goes in 3 hours by multiplying her speed by the number of hours she travels: 3 hours * 8 miles / hour = 24 miles. Then do the same thing for Ann: 3 hours * 6 miles / hour = 18 miles. Now add the number of miles both people skated to find the total distance between them: 18 miles + 24 miles = 42 miles. The answer is 42.

Question: A citrus grove has laid out their plans for their sixteen orchards for the growing season. Lemons, their most popular citrus fruit, will take up eight orchards. Oranges are their second most popular fruit and will occupy half as many orchards as the lemons. Limes and grapefruits will split the remaining orchards. How many citrus orchards will be growing grapefruits?
Answer: Oranges will occupy 8 / 2 = 4 orchards. There will be 16 - 8 - 4 = 4 orchards remaining for limes and grapefruits. Thus, 4 / 2 = 2 orchards will be growing grapefruits. The answer is 2.
