A 26-mile circular marathon has four checkpoints inside it. The first is one mile from the start line, and the last checkpoint is one mile from the finish line. The checkpoints have equal spacing between them. How many miles apart are each of the consecutive checkpoints between the start-finish line?
The checkpoints are 1 mile from the start and finish, so they are spaced along 26 - 1 - 1 = 24 miles. There are 4 equally spaced checkpoints, so the checkpoints are 24 / 4 = <<24/4=6>>6 miles apart. #### 6

Buffy has a sailboat with a planing hull that she sails in the Gulf of Mexico. Under optimal wind conditions, the use of two sails brings the ship to the speed of 50 knots, whereas under the same conditions, the use of one sail brings her ship to the speed of 25 knots. A knot is a nautical term for speed equal to 1 nautical mile per hour, and one nautical mile equals 1.15 land miles. If she travels in her sailboat under optimal wind conditions for 4 hours with one sail and then for another 4 hours with two sails, what is the total distance, in land miles, that she will travel?
Under optimal wind conditions, if her ship sails 4 hours with 1 sail, she will travel 4*25=<<4*25=100>>100 nautical miles. Under optimal wind conditions, if her ship sails 4 hours with 2 sails, she will travel 4*50=<<4*50=200>>200 nautical miles. In total, she will travel 100+200=<<100+200=300>>300 nautical miles. If 1 nautical mile is equivalent to 1.15 land miles, then Buffy will travel 300*1.15=<<300*1.15=345>>345 land miles. #### 345

Abraham is buying some toiletries and creates a budget of $60 for his shopping. He buys 4 shower gels for $4 each, a tube of toothpaste for $3, and a box of laundry detergent. If he has $30 remaining in his budget, how much money, in dollars, did Abraham spend on the box of laundry detergent?
Shower gel costs Abraham 4 shower gels * $4 = $<<4*4=16>>16. So the shower gel and toothpaste combined have cost him $16 + $3 = $<<16+3=19>>19. He had money remaining in his budget so the total cost of his shopping must have been $60 – $30 = $<<60-30=30>>30. The box of laundry detergent therefore cost him $30 – $19 = $<<30-19=11>>11. #### 11

Annie goes to school. Today is her birthday, so Annie decided to buy some sweets for her colleagues. Every classmate got 2 candies. In the end, Annie got left with 12 candies. If there are 35 people in Annie's class in total, how much did Annie spend on candies, if one candy costs $0.1?
There are 35 people in Annie's class, which means, she has 35 - 1 = <<35-1=34>>34 classmates. Every classmate got 2 candies, so in total Annie gave out 34 * 2 = <<34*2=68>>68 candies. In the beginning she had 68 + 12 = <<68+12=80>>80 candies. One candy costs $0.1, so Annie spend 80 * 0.1 = $<<80*0.1=8>>8 on candies. #### 8

Ali has a store that sells fruits and vegetables. He puts 23 kg of kidney apples, 37 kg of golden apples and 14 kg of Canada apples on the shelves. By noon, 36 kg of apples were sold. What is the mass of apples that he has left?
You first have to calculate the total mass of apples he had on the shelves, so you add the three kinds of apples: 23 kg + 37 kg + 14 kg = <<23+37+14=74>>74kg Since he sold 36 kg of apples, he still has: 74 kg – 36 kg = <<74-36=38>>38kg #### 38

Nicholas bought six times as much fabric as Kenneth. If Kenneth paid $40 for an oz of fabric and bought 700oz, calculate the amount of money that Nicholas paid more than Kenneth for the fabric he bought.
If Kenneth bought 700oz of fabric at $40 per oz, he spent a total of 700*40 = $<<700*40=28000>>28000 Nicholas bought six times as much fabric as Kenneth, meaning Nicholas bought 6*700 = <<6*700=4200>>4200oz of fabric. If an oz of fabric is sold at $40, Nicholas paid 4200*$40 =$<<4200*40=168000>>168000 for the 4200oz of fabric. The amount of money that Nicholas paid more than Kenneth for the fabric he bought is $168000-28000 = $<<168000-28000=140000>>140000. #### 140000

Linda was going to pass out homemade cookies to each of her 24 classmates on the last day of school. She wanted to give each student 10 cookies and wanted to make chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies. Each cookie recipe made exactly 4 dozen cookies. She was able to make 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies before running out of chocolate chips. She made 1 batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. How many more batches of cookies does Linda need to bake?
She has 24 classmates and wants to give each 10 cookies, so she needs to bake 24*10=<<24*10=240>>240 cookies Each batch makes 4 dozen cookies so that means each batch has 4*12 = <<4*12=48>>48 cookies She baked 2 batches of chocolate chip and one batch of oatmeal raisin so 2+1 = <<2+1=3>>3 batches We know that each batch has 48 cookies so 3*48 = <<3*48=144>>144 cookies have been baked She needs to have 240 cookies and has baked 144 so 240-144 = <<240-144=96>>96 cookies are needed Again, each batch makes 48 cookies and we need 96 more cookies so 96/48 = <<96/48=2>>2 more batches are needed #### 2

Bridget counted 14 shooting stars in the night sky. Reginald counted two fewer shooting stars than did Bridget, but Sam counted four more shooting stars than did Reginald. How many more shooting stars did Sam count in the night sky than was the average number of shooting stars observed for the three of them?
Reginald counted two fewer shooting stars than did Bridget, or a total of 14-2=<<14-2=12>>12 shooting stars. Sam counted 4 more shooting stars than did Reginald, or a total of 12+4=16 shooting stars. The average number of shooting stars observed for the three of them was (14+12+16)/3 = <<14=14>>14 shooting stars. Thus, Sam counted 16-14=2 more shooting stars than was the average number of shooting stars observed for the three of them. #### 2

Jackson is making pancakes with three ingredients: flour, milk and eggs. 20% of the bottles of milk are spoiled and the rest are fresh. 60% of the eggs are rotten. 1/4 of the cannisters of flour have weevils in them. If Jackson picks a bottle of milk, an egg and a canister of flour at random, what are the odds all three ingredients will be good?
First find the percentage of milk bottles that are fresh: 100% - 20% = 80% Then find the percentage of the eggs that aren't rotten: 100% - 60% = 40% Then find the fraction of the flour canisters that don't have weevils: 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 Divide the numerator of this fraction by the denominator and multiply by 100% to convert from a fraction to a percent: 3 / 4 * 100% = 75% Then multiply the probability that each ingredient is good to find the probability they all are: 75% * 80% * 40% = 24% #### 24

Alex is working on a science project and has taken pictures of all of the plants in a park near her home. She wants to find out how many of each plant she has pictures of, but she has 960 pictures, and counting them all will take her a long time. Her teacher suggested she use a program on the computer that can automatically tell her what plant is in each picture and count them for her. It will take the program 2 minutes to process each picture. How many hours will it take to process all of the pictures?
Each picture will take 2 minutes to process. 2 x 960 = <<2*960=1920>>1,920 minutes There are 60 minutes in an hour. To find the hours, divide the minutes by 60. 1,920 / 60 = <<1920/60=32>>32 hours #### 32

Timmy, Tommy and Tina are filling up a kiddie pool in their backyard. Each has a pail they fill with water from a house before dumping it into the pool. If Timmy's pail holds twice as much water as Tommy's, and Tommy's holds 2 gallons more than Tina's, and Tina's is 4 gallons, how much water do the three of them fill the pool with after 3 trips each?
If Tina's pail holds 4 gallons and Tommy's holds 2 more gallons than hers, that means Tommy's holds 4+2=<<4+2=6>>6 gallons. If Timmy's pail holds twice as much as Tommy's 6-gallon pail, that means it holds 6*2=<<6*2=12>>12 gallons. Therefore, in 1 trip that means all three move a total of 4+6+12=<<4+6+12=22>>22 gallons. In three trips, that means they would move a total of 22*3=<<22*3=66>>66 gallons #### 66

Alexa was on vacation for 3/4ths of the time it took Ethan to learn 12 fencing tricks. Joey spent half as much this time (that Ethan spent learning the tricks) learning to swim. If Alexa spent a week and 2 days on vacation, how many days did it take Joey to learn swimming?
There are 7 days in one week so one week and 2 days = 7+2 = <<7+2=9>>9 days Call the time Ethan spends learning tricks e. Alexa spent 9 days on vacation which is 3/4ths of the time Ethan spent learning 12 fencing tricks, hence (3/4)e = 9 days If we multiply both sides of this equation by 4/3, we get e = (4/3)*9 days = <<(4/3)*9=12>>12 days Joey spent half of 12 days which is 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 days to learn swimming #### 6

Megan pays $16 for a shirt that costs $22 before sales. What is the amount of the discount?
Let x be the amount of the discount. We have, 22 - x = $16 We change the writing of the equation: 22 - x + x = 16 + x So, 22 = 16 + x We then Remove 16 from both sides: 22 - 16 = 16 + x - 16 So, 22 - 16 = x So, the amount of the discount is x = $<<6=6>>6. #### 6

Daisy's Flower Shop sold 45 daisies on its first day. On their second day, they sold 20 more flowers than they did on their first day. On the third day, they sold 10 less than twice the flowers that were sold than on the second day. If the flower shop sold a total of 350 daisies for 4 days, how many daisies were sold on the 4th day?
The flower shop sold 45 + 20 = <<45+20=65>>65 daisies on the second day. Twice the number of flowers on the second day is 65 x 2 = <<65*2=130>>130. So, the flower shop sold 130 - 10 = <<130-10=120>>120 daisies on the third day. The total daisies sold for 3 days was 45 + 65 + 120 = <<45+65+120=230>>230. Therefore, 350 - 230 = <<350-230=120>>120 daisies were sold on the 4th day. #### 120

Sonia and Joss are moving to their new house at the lake. They have too much stuff in their previous house and decide to make multiple trips to move it all to the new house. They spend 15 minutes filling the car with their stuff and spend 30 minutes driving from the previous house to the new house. Fortunately, they did not waste any time unloading their stuff into the new house. In total they make 6 trips to complete the move. How many hours did they spend moving?
They spend 15 minutes/trip + 30 minutes/trip = <<15+30=45>>45 minutes/trip filling the car and driving to the new house. They had to take 6 trips, so they spend 45 minutes/trip x 6/trip = <<45*6=270>>270 minutes. They also had to drive back to their previous house 5 times to complete the move: 30 minutes/trip x 5 trips = <<30*5=150>>150 minutes. In total, they spent 270 minutes + 150 minutes = <<270+150=420>>420 minutes. Each hour has 60 minutes so they spent 420 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = <<420/60=7>>7 hours in total. #### 7

Bill's take-home salary is $40,000. He pays $2,000 in property taxes, $3,000 in sales taxes, and 10% of his gross salary in income taxes. What is Bill's gross salary?
First, figure out how much Bill has before he pays property taxes: $40,000 + $2,000 = $<<40000+2000=42000>>42,000 Then, figure out how much Bill has before he pays sales taxes: $42,000 + $3,000 = $<<42000+3000=45000>>45,000 Next, figure out what percent of his salary Bill keeps after income tax: 100% - 10% = 90% Now we know that .9g = $45,000, where g is Bill's gross salary Now we can divide both sides of the equation by .9 to find that g = $50,000 #### 50000

A papaya tree will grow 2 feet in the first year. In the second year, it will grow 50% more than the first year. In the third year, the tree will grow 50% more than in the second year. In the fourth year, it will grow twice as much as the third year. In the fifth year, it will grow half as much as the fourth year. When the tree is 5 years old, how tall is the tree?
In the second year, the tree will grow 2 x 1.5 = <<2*1.5=3>>3 feet. In the third year, it will grow 3 x 1.5 = <<3*1.5=4.5>>4.5 feet. In the fourth year, it will grow 4.5 x 2 = <<4.5*2=9>>9 feet. In the fifth year, it will grow 9 / 2 = <<9/2=4.5>>4.5 feet. When the tree is 5 years old, including the first year's growth, it will be this tall 2 + 3 + 4.5 + 9 + 4.5 = <<2+3+4.5+9+4.5=23>>23 feet. #### 23

Elliott drew a right-angle triangle on his book. It had a base of 4 inches, a height of 3 inches and a certain length of the hypotenuse. What was the length of the perimeter of the triangle that he drew?
Since the hypotenuse of a triangle is found by the square root of the base squared plus the height squared. The square of the base of the first triangle is 4*4=<<4*4=16>>16 square inches The square of the height of the first triangle is 3*3=<<3*3=9>>9 square inches. The sum of the squares of the base and the height of the first triangle is 16+9=<<16+9=25>>25 The square root of the sum of the base and the height of the first triangle, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle, is √25=5 inches. Since the perimeter of a triangle is found by adding the sides of the triangle, the base and height of the triangle sum up to 3+4=<<3+4=7>>7 inches If you add the hypotenuse of the triangle the perimeter of the triangle becomes 7+5=<<7+5=12>>12 inches. #### 12

Four adults with 32 teeth went to the dentist for a checkup after realizing they were having severe tooth pain. They were found to have different numbers of damaged teeth, and each person had some teeth removed. The first person had 1/4 of all his teeth removed, and the second person had 3/8 of his teeth removed, the third person had half of his teeth removed, while the last person only had 4 teeth removed. What's the total number of teeth removed at the dental clinic?
The first person had 1/4 of all his teeth removed, a total of 1/4*32 = <<1/4*32=8>>8 teeth. The second person had 3/8 of his teeth removed, meaning 3/8*32 = <<3/8*32=12>>12 of his teeth were removed. Together, the first and the second person had 12+8 = <<12+8=20>>20 teeth removed in total. The third person had half of his teeth removed, which were 1/2*32 = <<32/2=16>>16 teeth. The first three people had a total of 20+16 = <<20+16=36>>36 teeth removed from their mouth. The last person only had 4 teeth removed, bringing the total number of teeth removed at the dentist clinic to be 36+4 = <<36+4=40>>40 teeth. #### 40

Quinten sees three buildings downtown and decides to estimate their heights. He knows from a book on local buildings that the one in the middle is 100 feet tall. The one on the left looks like it is 80% of the height of the middle one. The one on the right looks 20 feet shorter than if the building on the left and middle were stacked on top of each other. How tall does Quinten estimate their total height to be?
He estimates the building on the left is 80 feet tall because 100 x .8 = <<100*.8=80>>80 The combined height of the left and middle is 180 because 100 + 80 = <<100+80=180>>180 The building on the right he estimates as 160 feet because 180 - 20 = <<180-20=160>>160 He estimates the combined height as 340 feet because 80 + 100 + 160 = <<80+100+160=340>>340 #### 340

There are 20 cars lined up at a race. Each of the cars have 2 passengers and a driver, then when the cars go past the race’s halfway point, each car gains another passenger. The cars then continue racing, and the race finishes once every single car has passed the finish line. People who get into the cars have to stay inside of them until the race is finished. How many people are in the cars by the end of the race?
There are 2 passengers and a driver in each car, which means that in each car there are 2 passengers + 1 driver = <<2+1=3>>3 people. This means there are a total of 20 cars * 3 people per car = <<20*3=60>>60 people in the car at the start of the race. At the halfway point, there is an additional 20 cars * 1 additional passenger = <<20*1=20>>20 more people. So be the end of the race, there are 60 people at the start of the race + 20 additional people = <<60+20=80>>80 people in the cars. #### 80

A parking garage of a mall is four stories tall. On the first level, there are 90 parking spaces. The second level has 8 more parking spaces than on the first level, and there are 12 more available parking spaces on the third level than on the second level. The fourth level has 9 fewer parking spaces than the third level. If 100 cars are already parked, how many cars can be accommodated by the parking garage?
The second level has 90 + 8 = <<90+8=98>>98 parking spaces. The third level has 98 + 12 = <<98+12=110>>110 parking spaces. The fourth level has 110 - 9 = <<110-9=101>>101 parking spaces. So the parking garage can accommodate 90 + 98 + 110 + 101 = <<90+98+110+101=399>>399 cars. Thus, the parking garage can still accommodate 399 - 100 = <<399-100=299>>299 cars. #### 299

Mrs. Thomson received an incentive worth $240. She spent 1/3 of the money on food and 1/5 of it on clothes. Then, she put in her savings account 3/4 of the remaining money. How much money did Mrs. Thomson save?
Mrs. Thomson spent $240 x 1/3 = $<<240*1/3=80>>80 on food. She spent $240 x 1/5 = $<<240*1/5=48>>48 on clothes. So she spent a total of $80 + $48 = $<<80+48=128>>128 on food and clothes. Hence, she had $240 - $128 = $<<240-128=112>>112 left after buying food and clothes. Then, Mrs. Thomson saved $112 x 3/4 = $<<112*3/4=84>>84. #### 84

Jenny collects cans and bottles to take down to the recycling center. Each bottle weighs 6 ounces and each can weighs 2 ounces. Jenny can carry a total of 100 ounces. She collects 20 cans and as many bottles as she can carry. If she gets paid 10 cents per bottle and 3 cents per can, how much money does she make (in cents)?
First, the weight of 20 cans is 20 cans * 2 oz per can = <<20*2=40>>40 oz. Thus, Jenny has the capacity to carry 100 oz - 40 oz = <<100-40=60>>60 oz of bottles. Jenny can carry 60 oz / 6 oz per bottle = <<60/6=10>>10 bottles. Jenny earns 10 bottles * 10 cents per bottle = <<10*10=100>>100 cents for the bottles. Jenny earns 20 cans * 3 cents per can = <<20*3=60>>60 cents for the cans. In total, she earns 100 cents + 60 cents = <<100+60=160>>160 cents. #### 160

One kilogram of tomatoes is 20% cheaper than one kilogram of cucumbers. One kilogram of cucumbers costs $5. What is the price of two kilograms of tomatoes and three kilograms of cucumbers?
One kilogram of tomatoes is 20/100 * 5 = $<<20/100*5=1>>1 cheaper than one kilogram of cucumbers. This means that one kilogram of tomatoes costs 5 - 1 = $<<5-1=4>>4. So two kilograms of tomatoes is a cost of 2 * 4 = $<<2*4=8>>8. And three kilograms of cucumbers is a cost of 3 * 5 = $<<3*5=15>>15. So the price for both products would be 8 + 15 = $<<8+15=23>>23. #### 23

Paul eats a lot when he studies. He loves sandwiches and eats them at the same rate every three days. He eats 2 sandwiches the first day, then doubles that number of sandwiches for the second day. On the third day, he doubles the number of sandwiches he ate on the second day. How many sandwiches would Paul eat if he studied 6 days in a row?
Paul doubles the amount that he ate on the second day, so eats 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 sandwiches. For the third day, he doubles the number of sandwiches he ate on the second day, so eats 2 x 2 x 2 = <<2*2*2=8>>8 sandwiches. To get the total amount of sandwiches he ate over three days it's necessary to add up the amount he ate each day: 2 + 4 + 8 = <<2+4+8=14>>14 sandwiches Since he eats 14 sandwiches every 3 days, then in 6 days he would eat 14 x 2 = <<14*2=28>>28 sandwiches in total. #### 28

Ronnie is a train engineer. His train pulls 3 red boxcars, 4 blue boxcars, and 7 black boxcars. If the black boxcars can each hold 4000 pounds of coal, which is half as much as what the blue boxcars can hold, and the red boxcars can hold 3 times as much as the blue boxcars, how many pounds of coal can all of the train's boxcars combined hold?
If we let X represent the number of pounds of coal that the blue boxcar can hold, then 4000=(1/2)X. Solving for X, we get X=<<8000=8000>>8000 pounds of coal, which represents what the blue car can hold. Thus, the red boxcar can hold 3*8000=<<3*8000=24000>>24,000 pounds of coal. 3 red boxcars can carry 3*24,000=<<3*24000=72000>>72,000 pounds of coal. 7 black boxcars can carry 7*4,000=<<7*4000=28000>>28,000 pounds of coal. 4 blue boxcars carry 4*8,000=<<4*8000=32000>>32,000 pounds of coal. Together, all the trains boxcars can carry 72,000+28,000+32,000=<<72000+28000+32000=132000>>132,000 pounds of coal. #### 132,000

There are 28 garden gnomes in a yard. Three-fourths of them have red hats, and the rest have blue hats. Half the garden gnomes have big noses instead of small noses. If six gnomes with blue hats have big noses, how many gnomes with red hats have small noses?
Half the gnomes have big noses, so 28 / 2 = <<28/2=14>>14 have big noses. Three-quarters of the gnomes have red hats, so 28 * 3 / 4 = <<28*3/4=21>>21 gnomes have red hats. There are 6 gnomes with blue hats and big noses, so there are 14 - 6 = 8 with red hats and big noses. Thus, there are 21 - 8 = <<21-8=13>>13 gnomes with red hats that have small noses. #### 13
