[Question]Alex is working on a science project and has taken pictures of all of the plants in a park near her home. She wants to find out how many of each plant she has pictures of, but she has 960 pictures, and counting them all will take her a long time. Her teacher suggested she use a program on the computer that can automatically tell her what plant is in each picture and count them for her. It will take the program 2 minutes to process each picture. How many hours will it take to process all of the pictures?
[Answer]Each picture will take 2 minutes to process. 2 x 960 = 1,920 minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour. To find the hours, divide the minutes by 60. 1,920 / 60 = 32 hours. The answer is 32.

[Question]Heather is going to sew 150 aprons that are to be used for a kiddie crew program. She already was able to sew 13 aprons, and today, she sewed three times as many aprons. How many aprons should she sew tomorrow if she wants to sew half of the remaining number of aprons needed?
[Answer]Heather has sewn 13 x 3 = 39 aprons today. The total number of aprons sewn is 13 + 39 = 52. Heather needs to sew 150 - 52 = 98 aprons more. So, she needs to sew 98 / 2 = 49 aprons tomorrow. The answer is 49.

[Question]Lara bought 52 stems of flowers at the flower shop. She gave 15 flowers to her mom and gave 6 more flowers than she gave to her mom to her grandma. She put the rest in a vase. How many stems of flowers did Lara put in the vase?
[Answer]Lara gave 15 + 6 = 21 stems of flowers to her grandma. She gave away 21 + 15 = 36 stems of flowers. Therefore, Lara put 52 - 36 = 16 stems of flowers in the vase. The answer is 16.

[Question]James turned 23 the same time John turned 35. Tim is 5 years less than twice John's age. If Tim is 79 how old is James?
[Answer]
James is 35 - 23 = 12 years younger than John. 5 years less than Tim's age is 79 - 5 = 74 years old. So John is 74 / 2 = 37 years old. That means James is 37 - 12 = 25 years old. The answer is 25.
