Blake wants to spend his Friday making milkshakes for his family. He knows that he needs 4 ounces of milk and 12 ounces of ice cream for each milkshake. If he has 72 ounces of milk and 192 ounces of ice cream, how much milk will be left over when he is done?
Let's think: He has enough milk to make 18 milkshakes because 72 / 4 = 18. He has enough ice cream to make 16 milkshakes because 192 / 12 = 16. He can only make 16 milkshakes because 16 < 18. He will use 64 ounces of milk because 16 x 4 = 64. He will have 8 ounces of milk left because 72 - 64 = 8.. The answer is: 8.

Elois needs 4 bananas to make 1 loaf of banana bread. On Monday, she makes 3 loaves of banana bread. On Tuesday, she makes twice as many loaves of banana bread as Monday. How many bananas did she use to make all the banana bread?
Let's think: On Tuesday, Elois makes 3 x 2 = 6 banana breads. She makes a total of 3 + 6 = 9 banana breads. She uses 9 x 4 = 36 bananas to make all the banana breads.. The answer is: 36.

Bernie loves eating chocolate. He buys two chocolates every week at the local store. One chocolate costs him $3. In a different store, there is a long-term promotion, during which each chocolate costs only $2. How much would Bernie save in three weeks, if he would buy his chocolates in this store instead of his local one?
Let's think: During three weeks, Bernie buys 3 * 2 = 6 chocolates. In the local store, he pays for them 6 * 3 = $18. If Bernie would buy the same chocolates in the different store, he would pay 6 * 2 = $12. So Bernie would be able to save 18 - 12 = $6.. The answer is: 6.

It takes John 13 seconds to run 100 meters. He only goes 4 meters in the first second. He then maintains the same speed for the rest of the race. James is 2 m/s faster at the top speed and he can run the first 10 meters in 2 seconds. How long does it take James to run 100 meters?
Let's think:
John runs 100 - 4 = 96 meters once he reaches his max speed. He runs it in 13 - 1 = 12 seconds. So he runs at a speed of 96 / 12 = 8 m / s. So that means James's top speed is 8 + 2 = 10 m / s. He has to run 100 - 10 = 90 meters at his top speed. So he runs that at 90 / 10 = 9 seconds. So he takes 9 + 2 = 11 seconds to run 100 meters.. The answer is: 11.
