Q: Jenna's doctor tells her that she should tan no more than 200 minutes a month. If she tans 30 minutes a day, two days a week for the first two weeks of the month, how many minutes can she tan in the last two weeks of the month?
A: First find how many minutes Jenna tans each of the first two weeks: 30 minutes / day * 2 days / week = 60 minutes / week. Then multiply that number by the number of weeks to find how many minutes Jenna tans in the first half of the month: 60 minutes / week * 2 weeks = 120 minutes. Then subtract that time from the total time Jenna can spend tanning to find how many more minutes she can tan: 200 minutes - 120 minutes = 80 minutes. The answer is 80.

Q: Peggy fell off her bike and skinned her knees. She needed two bandages on her left knee and three bandages on her right knee. If the box of bandages had 8 less than two dozen bandages before Peggy skinned her knees, how many bandages were left in the box after Peggy finished putting bandages on her knees?
A: Two dozen is 12 * 2 = 24. Eight less than two dozen bandages is 24 - 8 = 16 bandages. She needed two bandages on her left knee and three bandages on her right knee for a total of 2 + 3 = 5 bandages. Therefore, after Peggy finished putting bandages on her knees there were 16 - 5 = 11 bandages remaining in the box. The answer is 11.

Q: Mr. Mitchell is buying pizzas for the soccer team. He buys one slice for every goal they scored on the season. A large pizza has 12 slices. If he bought 6 pizzas, and the team had 8 games, how many goals did they score per game on average?
A:
They scored 72 goals because 6 x 12 = 72. They scored 9 goals a game because 72 / 8 = 9. The answer is 9.
