Question: In Zeoland the fine for speeding is $16 for each mile per hour the driver is traveling over the posted speed limit. In Zeoland, Jed was fined $256 for speeding on a road with a posted speed limit of 50 mph. Jed was fined for traveling at what speed in miles per hour?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: First find how much Jed was above the speed limit: $256 fine / $16 for each mile per hour over = 16 miles per hour over. Since the speed limit is 50 mph, this means Jed was driving 50 + 16 = 66 mph.
So the answer is 66.

Question: Jeremie wants to go to an amusement park with 3 friends at the end of summer. Tickets are $18 for children and a set of snack cost $5. How much will it cost Jeremie and her 3 friends to go to the amusement park and buy each of them a set of snacks?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: There are 1 + 3 = 4 of them who will go to the park. The ticket and a set of snack cost $18 + $5 = $23. So, it will cost Jerimee and her 3 friends $23 x 4 = $92.
So the answer is 92.

Question: Jenna is planning a road trip. She plans on driving the first 200 miles, and her friend will drive the last 100 miles. They plan on taking 2 30-minute breaks. If Jenna drives 50 miles per hour and her friend drives 20 miles per hour, how many hours will they spend on the road trip?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Jenna will drive 200 miles at a rate of 50 miles per hour, so she will drive for 4 hours. Her friend will drive 100 miles at a rate of 20 miles per hour, so Jenna's friend will drive for 5 hours. They will spend a total of 60 minutes on breaks because 30 minutes + 30 minutes = 60 minutes. Thus, they will spend 1 hour on breaks because there are 60 minutes in an hour. The road trip will take a total of 1 + 4 + 5 = 10 hours.
So the answer is 10.
