[Question]Sadie, Ariana and Sarah are running a relay race. Each part of the race is a different length and covers different terrain. It takes Sadie 2 hours to run through the forest at an average speed of 3 miles per hour. Ariana sprints across the open field on her section at 6 miles per hour for half an hour. If Sarah runs along the beach at four miles per hour and their total time for the race is four and half hours, what is the total distance of the race?
[Answer]Sadie ran for 3 miles / hour * 2 hour = 6 miles. Ariana covered a distance of 6 miles / hour * (1 / 2) hour = 3 miles. Sarah ran for 4.5 hours – 2 hours – 0.5 hours = 2 hours. In this time, Sarah traveled a distance of 4 miles / hour * 2 hours = 8 miles. The total distance for the race was 6 miles + 3 miles + 8 miles = 17 miles. The answer is 17.
Q: Marcia's hair is 24" long at the beginning of the school year. She cuts half of her hair off and lets it grow out 4 more inches. She then cuts off another 2" of hair. How long is her hair?
A: Her hair was 24" long and she cut half off so she cut 24 / 2 = 12 inches. Her hair was 24" long and she cut 12" off so she has 24 - 12 = 12 inches left. She has 12" of hair and lets it grow 4 more inches for a total of 12 + 4 = 16 inches. She has 16" and cuts off 2 more inches which leaves her hair 16 - 2 = 14 inches long. The answer is 14.
Question: Stephen rides his bicycle to church. During the first third of his trip, he travels at a speed of 16 miles per hour. During the second third of his trip, riding uphill, he travels a speed of 12 miles per hour. During the last third of his trip, he rides downhill at a speed of 20 miles per hour. If each third of his trip takes 15 minutes, what is the distance Stephen rides his bicycle to church, in miles?
Answer: 15 minutes is 15 / 60 = 0.25 hours. Traveling 15 minutes at 16 miles per hour, Stephen travels 16 * 0.25 = 4 miles. Traveling 15 minutes at 12 miles per hour, Stephen travels 12 * 0.25 = 3 miles. Traveling 15 minutes at 20 miles per hour, Stephen travels 20 * 0.25 = 5 miles. All together, Stephen travels 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 miles. The answer is 12.
[Question]It takes 40 minutes to freeze ice cubes and 3 minutes per smoothie to turn them into smoothies once they're frozen. How long does it take to make 5 smoothies?

Every donut costs him $.2 because 2.4 divided by 12 equals .2. So he makes $.8 for every donut he sells because $1 minus $.2 equals .8. He needs to sell 120 donuts because 96 divided by .8 equals 120. He needs to buy and sell 10 dozen donuts because 120 divided by 12 equals 10. The answer is 10.
