If 6 textbooks cost $354, how much do 13 textbooks cost?
if 6 textbooks cost $354, then 1 textbook costs: $354/6= $59. Since 1 textbook cost $59, 13
textbooks will cost $59* 13= $767
A runner leaves his house at 7:45 for a morning run. If he travels at an average speed of 6mph
and gets back home at 10:00, how far did he run?
If the runner is out from 7:45 to 10:00, he ran for 2:15.
2;15= 2.25 hours.
Since he travels at an average of 6mph, his total travel distance is 2.25*6= 13.5 miles.
If Alice consumes two times as many calories as Claire, and Claire consumes 2.500 calories a
day, how many calories does Alice consume a week?
If Alice consumes twice as many calories as Claire, and Claire consumes 2,500 every day, then
Alice will consume 5,000 per day. The question asks how many calories Alice will consume in a
week, so: 5,000*7= 35,000 calories
Jessie can answer multiplication problems at a rate of 6 problems every 20 seconds. If she has a
10-minute test with 175 questions on it, will she finish in time?
If Jessie can answer 6 questions in 20 seconds, and there are 60 seconds in a minute, she can
answer 36=18 questions each minute. Since the test is 10 minutes long, she can answer
1018=180 questions. therefore, she will finish the 175-question test and could even complete 5
more
2 workers can finish building a play set in 18 hours. How long will it take 4 workers to build 3
play sets?
If 2 workers can finish a play set in 18 hours, it would take half the time, or 9 hours, to finish the
play set with 4 workers. It would then take 93 hours to finish building 3 play sets: 9 hours3play
sets=27hours.
A bookstore has 50% more fantasy books than biographies. What is the ratio of fantasy books to
biographies?
,If there are 50% more fantasy books than biographies, then we can create false numbers and say
that if there are 100 biographies, there will be 150 fantasy books. The ratio of fantasy books to
biographies, then, is 150: 100. dividing by 50, the ratio simplifies to 3:2
Train A leaves the station at 1:45 traveling at a constant speed of 65mph. If it arrives at its
destination at 3:15, how many miles did it travel?
If the train leaves at 1:45 and arrives at 3:15 it has been traveling for 1.5 hours. to find how far it
has traveled, we multiply by the speed: 1.5*65=97.5
two buildings in downtown Chicago stand across the river from each other. The first buildings
height is 1,700ft and it casts a shadow that is 525ft long. If the second building's height is 1,450
feet, how long will its shadow be at the same time of the day (round to the nearest foot0?
If the height of the first building is 1,700ft while its shadow is 525ft, and the second building's
height is 1,450ft tall, it sets up this proportion: 1,700/525=1,450/x. By cross multiplying and
solving for x we find: 1,700x=761,250; x=448ft long,
If Larry can wash 50 cars in 1/2 hour, how long will it take him to wash 80 cars?
if it takes Larry 30 minutes (1/2 hour) to wash 50 cars, then it takes 30/50=.6 minutes per car. 80
cars will take 80*6=48minutes
A baker can bake 4 cakes with 10 cups of sugar. If he has a 30c bag that is 1/2 full, how many
cakes bake?
If the 30c bag of sugar is 1/2 full, there are 15c left. If the baker can bake 4 cakes with 10 c, he
can bake 2 with 5. therefore, he can bake 2*3=6cakes
If randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners
per year, on avg, how many does Randy sell each month
If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners
per year, then randy sells 8*690=5,520 vacuum cleaners per a year. The question asks how many
vacuum cleaners randy sells per month so: 5,520/12=460 vacuum cleaners per month

Consumption of food is a universal necessity. Different cultures have developed different
methods to accomplish the task. It is interesting to discover these differences and learn new ways
to do things.
, European cultures developed cutlery (knives, forks, and spoons) to enable people to efficiently
eat their food. Correct use of this tool’s changes with the times-what was polite in 1800 may not
be considered proper manners today.
China developed the chopstick as an efficient tool for eating. Mastery of the use of chopsticks
can be difficult for the person not raised in the culture. The attempts of a novice to use chopsticks
can be very amusing to the watcher, but frustrating for the hungry diner.
Space travel has created new challenges for consuming food. Squeeze bottles and other unique
packaging have enabled space travelers to get their needed nutrition. Chopsticks and forks do not
work well in space.
