Question: Camp Cedar has 40 boys, it has 3 times as many girls. It needs 1 counselor for every 8 children. How many counselors does Camp Cedar need?
Answer: Camp has 3 * 40 boys = 120 girls. Camp Cedar has a total of 40 boys + 120 girls = 160 children. Camp needs 1 counselor per 8 children, so 160 children / 8 children = 20 counselors needed. The answer is 20.
[Question]Jimmy and Tonya both like collecting matchbooks and stamps. Tonya and Jimmy decide to trade some stamps and matchbooks. They have each decided that one stamp is worth 12 matches. Each matchbook contains 24 matches. If Tonya arrives with 13 stamps, Jimmy has 5 matchbooks, and Jimmy trades all his matchbooks for stamps, how many stamps does Tonya have left?
[Answer]Jimmy has 120 matches because 5 times 24 equals 120. Jimmy trades this for 10 stamps because 120 divided by 12 equals 10. Tonya has 3 stamps left because 13 minus 10 equals 3. The answer is 3.
Q: A park has three colors of flowering crepe myrtle trees planted: red, white, and pink. When they bloom, a third of them are pink, but only two are red. Most of them are white. There are 42 crepe myrtle trees in the park. How many have white flowers when they bloom?
A: The park has 42 / 3 = 14 pink crepe myrtle trees. It has 2 red trees, so it has 14 + 2 = 16 pink and red trees. Therefore, there are 42 - 16 = 26 crepe myrtle trees that have white flowers when they bloom in the park. The answer is 26.
Question: Three siblings are born 5 years apart, each. If the eldest child is 20 years old now, what's the total of the ages of the three siblings 10 years from now?
Answer: Ten years from now, the elder child will be 20 + 10 = 30 years old. If the elder child is 20 years old now, the second born is 20 - 5 = 15 years old, 5 years younger than the firstborn. The second - born will be 15 + 10 = 25 years old ten years from now. The total age of the first and second - born 10 years from now will be 25 + 30 = 55. The third - born who is five years younger than the second born is 15 - 5 = 10 years old. The third sibling's age ten years from now will be 10 + 10 = 20 years old. The total age of the three siblings ten years from now will be 55 + 20 = 75 years. The answer is 75.
