Question: A clerk can process 25 forms per hour. If 2400 forms must be processed in an 8-hour day, how many clerks must you hire for that day?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: One clerk can process 25 x 8 = 200 forms in a day. To process the forms for that day 2400 / 200 = 12 clerks must be hired.

Question: Miles is going to spend 1/6 of a day reading. He will read comic books, graphic novels, and novels. He reads 21 pages an hour when he reads novels, 30 pages an hour when he reads graphic novels, and 45 pages an hour when he reads comic books. If he reads each for 1/3 of his time, how many pages does he read?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Miles will read for 4 hours because 24 x (1 / 6) = 4. He will read each type for 1 and 1 / 3 hours because 4 / 3 = 1 and 1 / 3. He will read 28 pages of novels because 21 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 28. He will read 40 pages of graphic novels because 30 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 40. He will read 60 pages of comic books because 45 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 60. He will read 128 pages in total because 28 + 40 + 60 = 128.
So the answer is 128.

Question: A type C school bus contains 13 rows of seats, with an aisle running down the middle of the bus, splitting each row into two sections. If the school only allowed two students to sit in each section, how many students could be seated on the bus?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
13 rows, with 2 sections per row would contain 13 * 2 = 26 sections. If two students sat per section, there would be capacity for 26 * 2 = 52 students.
So the answer is 52.
