Question: Barbie and Bruno have a pile of 144 coconuts that they need to move from one side of their yard to the other side. Barbie can carry 4 coconuts at a time, while Bruno can carry 8 coconuts at a time. If they make trips together carrying their maximum number of coconuts each time, how many trips together would they need to make to move all of the coconuts?
Answer: Together, they would carry a combined total of 4 + 8 = 12 coconuts per trip. To move 144 coconuts, they would need to make 144 / 12 = 12 trips. The answer is 12.
[Question]Casey is pumping water out of her well. She can pump 3 gallons a minute. She has 4 rows of 15 corn plants each, and each plant needs half a gallon of water. She also has 10 pigs, which each need 4 gallons of water, and 20 ducks that each need a quarter of a gallon of water. How many minutes does Casey need to spend pumping water?
[Answer]First find how many corn plants there are: 15 plants / row * 4 rows = 60 plants. Then find how many gallons of water of the corn needs: 60 plants * 1 / 2 gallon / plant = 30 gallons. Then find how many gallons of water the pigs need: 10 pigs * 4 gallons / pig = 40 gallons. Then find how many gallons of water the ducks need: 20 ducks * 1 / 4 gallon / duck = 5 gallons. Now add up all three quantities of water to find the total water needed: 5 gallons + 40 gallons + 30 gallons = 75 gallons. Now divide the total water needed by Casey's pumping rate to find how long she spends pumping: 75 gallons / 3 gallons / minute = 25 minutes. The answer is 25.
Q: Katrina has 120 cookies to sell at her bakery. She plans to take home any cookies she doesn’t sell by the end of the day. In the morning, she sells 3 dozen cookies. During the lunch rush, she sells 57 cookies. In the afternoon, she sells 16 more cookies. How many cookies does she have left to take home?
A: There are 12 cookies in 1 dozen, so in the morning, she sold 12 x 3 dozen = 36 cookies. Throughout the day, she sold 36 cookies in the morning + 57 cookies at lunch + 16 cookies in the afternoon = 109 cookies. She started with 120 cookies – 109 cookies sold = 11 cookies to take home. The answer is 11.
Question: Normally Ann can frost a cake in 5 minutes. However, today she has a sprained wrist and it takes her 8 minutes to frost a cake. How much longer would it take her to frost 10 cakes with her sprained wrist?
Answer: Normally, it would take her 5 * 10 = 50 minutes. With her sprained wrist it will take her 8 * 10 = 80 minutes. 80 - 50 = 30 more minutes. The answer is 30.
[Question]A vegan restaurant serves three kinds of protein: seitan, beans, and lentils. There are ten dishes on their menu. Two have beans and lentils, and two have beans and seitan. The remaining dishes only have one kind of protein in them. Half of the remaining dishes have only beans, and there are three times as many dishes with only beans as with only seitan. How many dishes include lentils?
[Answer]The vegan restaurant serves 10 - 2 - 2 = 6 dishes with only one kind of protein. There are 6 / 2 = 3 dishes with only beans. There is 3 / 3 = 1 dish with only seitan. Thus, there are 6 - 3 - 1 = 2 dishes with only lentils. There are also 2 dishes with beans and lentils, so there are 2 + 2 = 4 dishes that include lentils. The answer is 4.

The number of roses in the bunch is 2 / 5 * 40 flowers = 16 flowers. The total number of roses and tulips is 16 flowers + 10 flowers = 26 flowers. There were 40 flowers - 26 flowers = 14 carnations. The answer is 14.
