Sally needs to make a tablecloth that measures 102 inches by 54 inches. She also needs to make 8 napkins that are 6 by 7 inches. How many square inches of material will Sally need to make the tablecloth and the 8 napkins?
Let's think: Tablecloth = 102 * 54 = 5508 square inches. Napkins = 8 * (6 * 7) = 336 square inches. 5508 + 336 = 5844 square inches. Sally will need 5844 square inches of material to make the tablecloth and 8 napkins.. The answer is: 5844.

Vincent's washer broke so he had to go to the laundromat. On Wednesday he washed six loads of clothes. The next day he had time to wash double the number of loads he did the day before. On Friday he had a test and could only manage half of the loads he did on Thursday. On Saturday the laundromat closed at noon and he could only wash a third of the loads of laundry he did on Wednesday. How many loads of laundry had he washed that week?
Let's think: On Thursday he washed 6 * 2 = 12 loads of laundry. On Friday he washed 12 / 2 = 6 loads of laundry. On Saturday he washed 6 / 3 = 2 loads of laundry. In total he washed 6 + 12 + 6 + 2 = 26 loads of laundry.. The answer is: 26.

Ken, Dave, and Jerry played shuffleboard against one another while together vacationing in Florida. Ken won 5 more games than Dave, and Dave won 3 more games than Jerry. If Jerry won 7 games, what was the total number of games they played?
Let's think: If Dave won 3 more games than Jerry, and Jerry won 7 games, then Dave won 10 games. If Ken won 5 more games than Dave, and Dave won 10 games, then Ken won 10 + 5 = 15 games. In total, the three friends played 7 + 10 + 15 = 32 games.. The answer is: 32.

Gunner has a box of mittens with 20 fewer pairs than a box of plugs. He decides to put 30 more pairs of plugs into the box of plugs. If the box of mittens has 150 pairs of mittens, how many plugs are there?
Let's think:
Since there are 20 fewer mittens pairs than the plugs, there are 150 + 20 = 170 pairs of plugs. When Gunner decides to add 30 more plugs pairs into the box of plugs, the number of plug pairs increases to 170 + 30 = 200. Since a pair has two, the 200 pairs of plugs total 200 * 2 = 400 plugs.. The answer is: 400.
