Kimiko is retiling her kitchen floor. Each tile is 6 square inches. If her kitchen is 48 inches by 72 inches, how many tiles does Kimiko need to buy?
Let's think: First figure out how many tiles are in one row by dividing the kitchen's width by each tile's width: 48 inches / 6 inches / tile = 8 tiles in one row. Then figure out how many rows of tiles there are by dividing the kitchen's height by each tile's height: 72 inches / 6 inches / tile = 12 rows of tiles. Then multiply the number of rows by the number of tiles per row to find the total number of tiles Kimiko needs to buy: 8 tiles / row * 12 rows = 96 tiles.. The answer is: 96.

April went to a concert that has two bands. 2/3 of the audience was there for the second band and 1/3 was there for the first band. 50% of the audience there for the second band is under the age of 30. Of this group, 60% are women and there are 20 men. How many people are at the concert?
Let's think: Of the under - 30s there for the second band, 40% are men because 100 - 60 = 40. There are fifty under - 30s there for the second band because 20 / .4 = 50. There are 100 people there to see the second band because 50 / .5 = 100. There are 150 people at the concert because 100 / (2 / 3) = 150.. The answer is: 150.

Trey has 7 times as many turtles as Kris. Kris has 1/4 as many turtles as Kristen has. How many more turtles does Trey have than Kristen, if Kristen has 12?
Let's think: Kris has 12 / 4 = 3 turtles. Trey has 3 * 7 = 21 turtles. Trey has 21 - 12 = 9 more turtles than Kristen.. The answer is: 9.

Pete has to take a 10-minute walk down to the train station and then board a 1hr 20-minute train to LA. When should he leave if he cannot get to LA later than 0900 hours? (24-hr time)
Let's think:
There are 60 minutes in an hour so 1 hour 20 minutes = (60 + 20) minutes = 80 minutes. He will spend a total of 80 + 10 = 90 minutes. 90 minutes is = (60 / 60) hours and 30 minutes = 1 hour 30 minutes = 0130 in 24 - hr time. He has to leave 0130 hours earlier than 0900 i.e. 0900 - 0130 = 0730 hours.. The answer is: 730.
