There are 30 players on a football team. The coach has 8 liters of water. She pours 200 milliliters of water for every player so they can get hydrated. Unfortunately, there was a water spill and 250ml of water was spilled. How much water was left over?
Let's think: The coach has 8 liters * 1000 ml / liter = 8,000 ml of water. She pours 200 ml / player x 30 players = 6,000 ml of water in total for all the athletes. The water spill means 6,000 ml + 250 ml = 6,250 ml of water was used. There was 8,000 ml - 6,250 ml = 1,750 ml of water left.. The answer is: 1750.

Bennett sells window screens. He sold twice as many window screens in February as he sold last month. In February, Bennett sold a fourth of what he sold in March. If Bennet sold 8800 window screens in March, how many screens did Bennett sell from January to March?
Let's think: In February, Bennett sold 8800 / 4 = 2200 window screens. In January, Bennett sold 2200 / 2 = 1100 window screens. Between January and March, Bennett sold 8800 + 2200 + 1100 = 12100 window screens.. The answer is: 12100.

James is trying to decide which trail is faster to hike. One trail is 20 miles and mostly downhill, so James can cover it at 5 miles per hour. The other trail is 12 miles, but it's mostly uphill, so James will only be able to cover 3 miles per hour and will have to take an hour break halfway through. How many hours faster is the fastest hike?
Let's think: First find how long the first trail takes to hike: 20 miles / 5 miles / hour = 4 hours. Then find how long James spends hiking the second trail: 12 miles / 3 miles / hour = 4 hours. Then add the 1 hour break James has to take on the second trail: 4 hours + 1 hour = 5 hours. Then subtract the time for the first trail from the time for the second trail to find the difference: 5 hours - 4 hours = 1 hour.. The answer is: 1.

Angela is a bike messenger in New York. She needs to deliver 8 times as many packages as meals. If she needs to deliver 27 meals and packages combined, how many meals does she deliver?
Let's think:
Let p be the number of packages Angela delivers and m be the number of meals. We know that p + m = 27 and p = 8m. Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get 8m + m = 27. Combining like terms, we get 9m = 27. Dividing both sides by 9, we get m = 3.. The answer is: 3.
