Question: Jake buys 2-pound packages of sausages. He buys 3 of them and they are $4 a pound. How much does he pay?

Question: The school nurse must conduct lice checks at the elementary school. She must check 26 Kindergarteners, 19 first graders, 20 second graders, and 25 third graders. If each check takes 2 minutes, how many hours will it take the nurse to complete all the checks?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The school nurse must check a total of 26 Kindergarteners + 19 first graders + 20 second graders + 25 third graders = 90 students in all. If every check takes 2 minutes, it will take 90 students x 2 minutes = 180 minutes. There are 60 minutes in one hour, so it will take 180 minutes / 60 = 3 hours to complete the checks.
So the answer is 3.

Question: If Pam is currently twice as young as Rena is, and in 10 years Rena will be 5 years older than her, how old is Pam now?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If Rena will be 5 years older than Pam in 10 years, this means they have a 5 year age gap. Therefore, to be twice Pam's age, Rena would have to be 5 * 2 = 10 years old. This means that Pam is currently 10 - 5 = 5 years old.
So the answer is 5.

Question: Jennifer wants to go to a museum. There is one 5 miles away from her home and one 15 miles away. If Jennifer goes to both museums on two separate days, how many miles total will she travel?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Jennifer's home is 5 miles away from the first museum, so the round trip back and forth is 5 miles there + 5 miles back = 10 miles altogether. On another day Jennifer goes to a museum 15 miles away + 15 miles to return home = 30 miles total. Combined, Jennifer travels 10 miles on the first day + 30 miles on the second day = 40 miles Jennifer travels total.
So the answer is 40.
