Answer this question:Matt rode his bike away from the house, he rode a total of 1000 feet. Along the way, he passed a stop sign that was 350 feet away from his house. He continued his ride and passed a second sign. After passing the second sign he road an additional 275 feet. How many feet are between the first and second signs?
Matthew rode 350 feet to the first sign, so there are 1000 - 350 = 650 feet between the first sign and the end. After passing the second sign Matthew road 275, so 650 - 275 = 375 feet remain.
The answer is 375.

Answer this question:Three builders build a single floor of a house in 30 days. If each builder is paid $100 for a single day’s work, how much would it cost to hire 6 builders to build 5 houses with 6 floors each?
6 builders can build a single floor 6 builders / 3 builders = 2 times as fast as 3 builders. Thus 6 builders would build a single floor in 30 days / 2 = 15 days. There are 5 hours x 6 floors / house = 30 floors in total in 5 houses with 6 floors each. Therefore 6 builders would complete the project in 15 days / floor x 30 floors = 450 days. It would cost 450 days x $100 / day / builder * 6 builders = $270000 to complete the project.
The answer is 270000.

Let x represent the number of quarters John has. Nickels: x - 6. Dimes: x + 3. Total:x + x - 6 + x + 3 = 63. 3x - 3 = 63. 3x = 66. x = 22 quarters.
The answer is 22.
