Question: Jen and Tyler are gymnasts practicing flips. Jen is practicing the triple-flip while Tyler is practicing the double-flip. Jen did sixteen triple-flips during practice. Tyler flipped in the air half the number of times Jen did. How many double-flips did Tyler do?
Answer: Jen did 16 triple - flips, so she did 16 * 3 = 48 flips. Tyler did half the number of flips, so he did 48 / 2 = 24 flips. A double flip has two flips, so Tyler did 24 / 2 = 12 double - flips. The answer is 12.
[Question]To get free delivery, Alice needs to spend a minimum of $35.00 online at her favorite grocery store. In her cart she has 1.5 pounds of chicken at $6.00 per pound, 1 pack of lettuce for $3.00, cherry tomatoes for $2.50, 4 sweet potatoes at $0.75 each, 2 heads of broccoli for $2.00 each and a pound of Brussel sprouts for $2.50. How much more does she need to spend in order to get free delivery?
[Answer]She bought 1.5 pounds of chicken for $6.00 / pound so that's 1.5 * $6 = $9.00. She bought 4 sweet potatoes at $0.75 each so that's 4 * $0.75 = $3.00. She bought 2 heads of broccoli for $2.00 each so that's 2 * $2 = $4.00. The chicken is $9.00, lettuce is $3.00, tomatoes are $2.50, the sweet potatoes are $3.00, broccoli is $4.00 and Brussel sprouts are $2.50 for a total of $9 + $3 + $2.50 + $3 + $4 + $2.5 = $24.00. To get free delivery she needs to spend $35.00, and she already has $24.00 in her cart, so she needs to spend an extra $35 - $24 = $11.00. The answer is 11.
