There are 12 more green apples than red apples in a bowl. There are 16 red apples. How many apples are there in the bowl?
Let's think: Green = 16 + 12 = 28. Green + Red = 28 + 16 = 44. There are 44 apples in the bowl.. The answer is: 44.

There are 3 numbers that are consecutive integers. Together they have a sum of 18. What is the largest of the 3 numbers?
Let's think: Let N = smallest number. N + 1 = next number. N + 2 = largest number. N + (N + 1) + (N + 2) = 18. 3N + 3 = 18. 3N = 15. N = 5. The largest number is 7.. The answer is: 7.

Bailey is making a rectangle out of a 100cm length of rope he has. If the longer sides of the rectangle were 28cm long, what is the length of each of the shorter sides?
Let's think: The longer sides are 2 in number so their total length of 2 * 28cm = 56cm. The rest of the length making up the short sides is 100 - 56 = 44 cm. There are two equal short sides so each one is 44 / 2 = 22cm.. The answer is: 22.

There are 14 kindergartners and 24 first graders and some second graders in Ms. Watson's class. Overall Ms. Watson has 42 students. How many second graders are in Ms. Watson's class?
