It takes 50 large jelly beans to fill up a large drinking glass. It takes half that amount to fill up a small drinking glass. If there are 5 large drinking glasses and 3 small ones, how many jellybeans will it take to fill them up?
Let's think: A small drinking glass takes half the amount of a large glass that needs 50 so it will take 50 / 2 = 25 jellybeans. 5 large glasses need to be filled so they will take 5 * 50 = 250 jelly beans. There are 3 small glasses that need to be filled so they will take 3 * 25 = 75 jelly beans. All total, to fill all the glasses it will take 250 + 75 = 325 jellybeans.. The answer is: 325.

Julio makes a mocktail every evening. He uses 1 tablespoon of lime juice and tops with 1 cup of sparkling water.  He can usually squeeze 2 tablespoons of lime juice per lime. After 30 days, if limes are 3 for $1.00, how much will he have spent on limes?
Let's think: He uses 1 tablespoon of lime juice per drink so over 30 days that's 1 * 30 = 30 tablespoons of lime juice. He can get 2 tablespoons of lime juice per lime and he will use 30 tablespoons of lime juice so he will need 30 / 2 = 15 limes. The limes are 3 for $1.00 and he needs 15 limes so that's 15 / 3 = $5.00.. The answer is: 5.

Jane is sewing sequins onto her trapeze artist costume. She sews 6 rows of 8 blue sequins each, 5 rows of 12 purple sequins each, and 9 rows of 6 green sequins each. How many sequins does she add total?
Let's think: First find the total number of blue sequins: 6 rows * 8 sequins / row = 48 sequins. Then find the total number of purple sequins: 5 rows * 12 sequins / row = 60 sequins. Then find the total number of green sequins: 9 rows * 6 sequins / row = 54 sequins. Then add the number of each color of sequin to find the total number of sequins: 48 sequins + 60 sequins + 54 sequins = 162 sequins.. The answer is: 162.

There were 30 * .2 = 6 people who didn't show up. So 30 - 6 = 24 people showed up. Of the people who showed up, 24 * .75 = 18 got steak. So 24 - 18 = 6 got chicken.. The answer is: 6.
