[Question]Jake's dad can drive the distance from their house to the water park in 30 minutes. He spends half that journey driving 28 miles per hour and the other half driving 60 miles per hour on the highway. If Jake can bike 11 miles per hour, how many hours will it take him to bike to the water park?
[Answer]First find how long half Jake's dad's trip is: 30 minutes / 2 = 15 minutes. Then convert the minutes to hours: 15 minutes * 1 hour / 60 minutes = .25 hours. Now find how far Jake's dad travels at 28 miles per hour: .25 hours * 28 miles per hour = 7 miles. Then find how far Jake's dad travels at 60 miles per hour: .25 hours * 60 miles per hour = 15 miles. Now add those distances to find the total distance to the water park: 7 miles + 15 miles = 22 miles. Now divide the total distance by Jake's speed to find how long it takes him: 22 miles / 11 miles / hour = 2 hours. The answer is 2.

Question: Danielle wants to make her own popsicles. She finds out she needs popsicle sticks, molds, and juice. She has $10 for supplies. She buys one set of molds for $3 and a pack of 100 popsicle sticks for $1. Each bottle of juice makes 20 popsicles and costs $2. How many popsicle sticks will she be left with if she makes as many as she can?
Answer: She has $6 left after buying initial supplies because 10 - 3 - 1 = 6. She can buy 3 bottles of juice because 6 / 2 = 3. She can make 60 popsicles because 20 x 3 = 60. She has 40 sticks left because 100 - 6 60 = 40. The answer is 40.
[Question]Marina had 4.5 pounds of fudge. Lazlo had 6 ounces less than 4 pounds of fudge. How many more ounces of fudge did Marina have than Lazlo?
[Answer]Marina = 4.5 pounds = 72 ounces. Lazlo = 4 pounds - 6 ounces = 58 ounces. 72 - 58 = 14 ounces. Marina had 14 more ounces of fudge than Lazlo. The answer is 14.
[Question]Francine has five full boxes of crayons and 5 loose crayons, and her friend has 27 loose crayons. They need to put all of their loose crayons in a box. How many more boxes do they need if Francine has a total of 85 crayons?
[Answer]
Francine has 85 - 5 = 80 crayons in total that are in the boxes. Thus, each box of crayons is filled with 80 / 5 = 16 crayons. A total of 5 + 27 = 32 crayons need to be placed in the boxes. Therefore, they still need 32 / 16 = 2 boxes for the loose crayons. The answer is 2.
