Q: Dean ordered 2 large pizzas that were each cut into 12 slices. His friends Frank and Sammy came over to enjoy some pizza and watch a movie. Dean was hungry and ate half of the Hawaiian pizza. Frank only ate 3 slices of Hawaiian pizza and Sammy ate a third of the cheese pizza. How many total slices were left over?
A: 2 pizzas were ordered and had 12 slices each for a total of 2 * 12 = 24 slices. Dean ate 1 / 2 of a 12 sliced pizza so 12 / 2 = 6 slices were left over. Sammy ate 1 / 3 of a 12 sliced pizza so 12 / 3 = 4 slices were left over. Dean ate 6 slices, Sammy ate 4 and Frank had 3 so 6 + 4 + 3 = 13. They started with 24 slices and 13 slices so 24 - 13 = 11 slices left. The answer is 11.

Question: Matt's entire family was going to spend the week at the lake house for vacation. Matt's family included his mom, dad, his older brother and his wife and their 4 kids. His Uncle Joe and his wife were also coming and would bring their 3 kids. The house only sleeps 4 people. Everyone else would sleep 2 to a tent outside. How many tents would they need?
Answer: We need to add Matt's entire family together so 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 14. Only 4 people could sleep in the house so 14 - 4 = 10 people would sleep in a tent. Each tent sleeps 2 people and there were 10 people left so 10 / 2 = 5 tents were needed. The answer is 5.
Q: Kevin holds the world record for eating the biggest quantity of hot wings in 8 minutes. He can eat 64 wings without stopping. Alan, a boy who loves hot wings, wants to beat Kevin's record. He is currently able to eat 5 hot wings per minute. How many more wings must he eat per minute to beat Kevin's record?
A:
Knowing Kevin's record of eating 70 wings in 8 minutes or 64 / 8 = 8 wings in a minute. Alan must increase his ability to eat 5 wings per minute to 8 - 5 = 3 wings per minute to equal Kevin's world record. To beat Kevin, Alan must eat 3 + 1 = 4 hot wings per minute. The answer is 4.
