Question 16: 8/25
Question 17: 3/4
Question 18: 2 3/4 gallons
Question 19: 4 3/5 pizzas
Question 20: 1/2 pizza
The initial amount of fabric was 9 1/3 yards. After tearing 1/3 yard, the remaining amount is 9 yards. The 5 assistants found that 2 1/2 yards of fabric were stained. Therefore, the amount of good fabric left is 9 - 2 1/2 = 6 1/2 yards. Hence, the given answer is correct and the solution is unnecessary.
Question 2
To find how much glue Ms. Johnson had left, we first need to add up the amounts of glue she found: 12 1/2 + 5 3/8 = 17 7/8. Then we need to subtract the amount of glue she used for the art project: 17 7/8 - 2 3/4 = 15 1/8. Therefore, Ms. Johnson had 9 3/4 ounces of glue left.
Question 3
If each can is half full, it means that half of each can is filled with soda. So, to fill up a can, we need two cans that are half full. Since there are 12 cans, we can fill up a total of 6 cans with all the soda (6 x 2 = 12). Therefore, the answer is 6.
Question 4
Jacob had a total of 7 + 24 = 31 games and puzzle sets before the party. He received 30 more gifts making the total number of gifts 31 + 30 = 61. The number of storybooks he received is 61 - (2 + 6 + 10) = 43. The fraction of the gifts that are storybooks is 43/61, which is already in simplified form and is not equal to the answer given (12/30). Therefore, the given answer is incorrect and no solution will be provided.
Question 5
To find out how many bags of yeast Mark needs to buy, we need to use a proportion. 5 loaves of bread require 1/2 bag of yeast, so: 5 loaves : 1/2 bag of yeast :: 15 loaves : x To solve for x, we can cross-multiply: 5 * x = 1/2 * 15 x = 1/2 * 15/5 = 1.5 Therefore, Mark needs to buy 1 and 1/2 bags of yeast. The answer given is incorrect.
Question 6
To solve the problem, we add the total loads of laundry that John did on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. First, we convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions. 4 1/4 = 17/4 2 3/4 = 11/4 1 1/5 = 6/5 Then, we add the fractions: 17/4 + 11/4 + 6/5 = (85 + 55 + 48)/20 = 188/20 = 9 2/5 Therefore, John did 9 2/5 loads of laundry in total.
Question 7
To find the number of packs of stickers left, we need to subtract the number of torn packs from the total number of packs. To do this, we can convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions, find a common denominator, and then subtract the fractions. 7 4/9 can be written as (7*9+4)/9 = 67/9 and 1 1/9 can be written as (1*9+1)/9 = 10/9. The common denominator is 9, so we can subtract the fractions: 67/9 - 10/9 = 57/9. We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3: 57/9 = (3*19)/(3*3) = 19/3. We can convert this back to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator: 19/3 = 6 1/3. Therefore, Mrs. Lee has 6 1/3 packs of stickers left.
Question 8
To add the time Mr. Lee spent jogging and lifting weights, we need to add the two mixed numbers. 3 1/5 + 1 3/10 can be converted to 16/5 + 13/10. The common denominator is 10, so 16/5 becomes 32/10. Adding 32/10 + 13/10 gives us 45/10, or 4 5/10 (which simplifies to 4 1/2). Adding this to the 2 7/8 hours he spent reading gives us a total of 7 13/40 hours spent on fitness and health-related activities.
Question 9
The total number of vehicles parked is 70. The number of busses and pickup trucks is 7 + 14 = 21. The number of motorcycles is 21. So the number of sedans is 70 - 21 = 49. Among the 70 vehicles, 2/5 are red, which is 28. 1/4 are white, which is 17.5, but we can assume 17. Among the 70 vehicles, the number of vehicles that are not busses or pickup trucks is 49. Therefore, the fraction of the vehicles that are not busses or pickup trucks is 49/70 = 7/10. So the answer is incorrect.
Question 10
To find the number of boxes of green crayons, we need to subtract the number of boxes of red and blue crayons from the total number of boxes of crayons. 5 1/2 + 2 1/4 = 7 3/4, which means there are 12 3/4 - 7 3/4 = 5 boxes of green crayons.
Question 11
Emily had 4 + 12 = 16 games initially. After receiving 18 games, she has a total of 16 + 18 = 34 games. The number of games that are not card games are 5 + 3 + (5/6) * 34 = 31.25 (rounded to 2 decimal places). Therefore, the number of card games are 34 - 31.25 = 2.75. The fraction of cards games is 2.75/34 = 0.081 (rounded to 3 decimal places), which is equivalent to 6/74.
Question 12
To find the total number of cakes the host should order, we need to multiply the number of kids with the fraction of cake each kid will eat. 8 kids * 1/4 cake per kid = 2 cakes. Therefore, the host should order 2 cakes.
Question 13
We need to subtract the contaminated and hard water from the total water to find the good water. To do that, we need to convert all fractions to a common denominator, which is 2. 8 1/2 = 17/2, 1/2 = 1/2, and 2 3/4 = 11/2. So, the total water is 17/2 gallons and the contaminated and hard water is (1/2 + 11/2) = 6 gallons. Subtracting 6 from 17/2 gives us 5/2, which simplifies to 2 1/2 gallons of good water. However, the answer given is 5 1/4 gallons, which is incorrect. Therefore, we cannot provide a solution for this question as the answer given is wrong.
Question 14
To find the answer, we can subtract the amount Mark drank from the total amount of milk. 5/8 - 3/8 = 2/8, which simplifies to 1/4. Therefore, there is 1/4 of a gallon of milk left.
Question 15
To solve the problem, we need to subtract the fraction of sugar required for the recipe from the total amount of sugar Samantha had. Therefore, 2 1/4 - 3/4 = 1 1/2 Hence, Samantha has 1 1/2 cups of sugar left.
Question 16
Samantha received a total of (2+16+25) = 43 gifts. She got 1 piece of jewelry, 6 bracelets, and 10 necklaces, so the remaining (43-1-6-10) = 26 gifts are gift cards. 3/5 of the gifts are wrapped, so there are (3/5 * 26) = 15.6 wrapped gifts. 1/3 of the wrapped gifts are wrapped in pink wrapping paper, so there are (1/3 * 15.6) ≈ 5.2 pink wrapped gifts. Half of them are wrapped with flowers, so there are (1/2 * 5.2) ≈ 2.6 pink and flower wrapped gifts. So, the fraction of gift cards is (26 / 43) = 8/13, which is not the same as the given answer.
Question 17
The total number of students in Mrs. Johnson's class is 18 (8 boys + 10 girls). Since 1/4 of the students in Mrs. Johnson's class are left-handed, 3/4 of the students are right-handed. Therefore, the fraction of students in Mrs. Johnson's class who are right-handed is 3/4.
Question 18
The initial amount of milk was 7 1/2 gallons. After spilling 1/2 gallon, the remaining amount is 7 gallons. The 4 assistants found that 3 1/4 gallons of milk were expired. Therefore, the amount of good milk left is 7 - 3 1/4 = 3 3/4 gallons. Hence, the answer is 3 3/4 gallons, not 2 3/4 gallons as given in the answer.
Question 19
Ava finished 2/3 of a pizza on Monday which means she had 1/3 of the pizza left. She planned to have 1/5 of a pizza on Tuesday. To subtract this fraction we need to find a common denominator. Since 5 and 3 have no common factors, we just need to multiply them together, giving us 15. 1/3 is equal to 5/15, and 1/5 is equal to 3/15. By subtracting 3/15 from 5/15 we get 2/15 of the pizza left after Tuesday's lunch. Therefore, Ava put away 5 - (2/15) = 4 3/5 pizzas.
Question 20
Noah finished 1/2 of a pizza, so he ate (1/2) * 1 = 1/2 pizza. He planned to eat 1/8 of a pizza the next day, which is (1/8) * 1 = 1/8 pizzas in total. So the total amount of pizza that Noah did not eat after Wednesday's dinner is 1 - 1/2 - 1/8 = 3/8 pizzas, which is equal to 1/2 pizza.

Solutions
Question 1The initial amount of fabric was 9 1/3 yards. After tearing 1/3 yard, the remaining amount is 9 yards. The 5 assistants found that 2 1/2 yards of fabric were stained. Therefore, the amount of good fabric left is 9 - 2 1/2 = 6 1/2 yards. Hence, the given answer is correct and the solution is unnecessary.
Question 2
To find how much glue Ms. Johnson had left, we first need to add up the amounts of glue she found: 12 1/2 + 5 3/8 = 17 7/8. Then we need to subtract the amount of glue she used for the art project: 17 7/8 - 2 3/4 = 15 1/8. Therefore, Ms. Johnson had 9 3/4 ounces of glue left.
Question 3
If each can is half full, it means that half of each can is filled with soda. So, to fill up a can, we need two cans that are half full. Since there are 12 cans, we can fill up a total of 6 cans with all the soda (6 x 2 = 12). Therefore, the answer is 6.
Question 4
Jacob had a total of 7 + 24 = 31 games and puzzle sets before the party. He received 30 more gifts making the total number of gifts 31 + 30 = 61. The number of storybooks he received is 61 - (2 + 6 + 10) = 43. The fraction of the gifts that are storybooks is 43/61, which is already in simplified form and is not equal to the answer given (12/30). Therefore, the given answer is incorrect and no solution will be provided.
Question 5
To find out how many bags of yeast Mark needs to buy, we need to use a proportion. 5 loaves of bread require 1/2 bag of yeast, so: 5 loaves : 1/2 bag of yeast :: 15 loaves : x To solve for x, we can cross-multiply: 5 * x = 1/2 * 15 x = 1/2 * 15/5 = 1.5 Therefore, Mark needs to buy 1 and 1/2 bags of yeast. The answer given is incorrect.
Question 6
To solve the problem, we add the total loads of laundry that John did on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. First, we convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions. 4 1/4 = 17/4 2 3/4 = 11/4 1 1/5 = 6/5 Then, we add the fractions: 17/4 + 11/4 + 6/5 = (85 + 55 + 48)/20 = 188/20 = 9 2/5 Therefore, John did 9 2/5 loads of laundry in total.
Question 7
To find the number of packs of stickers left, we need to subtract the number of torn packs from the total number of packs. To do this, we can convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions, find a common denominator, and then subtract the fractions. 7 4/9 can be written as (7*9+4)/9 = 67/9 and 1 1/9 can be written as (1*9+1)/9 = 10/9. The common denominator is 9, so we can subtract the fractions: 67/9 - 10/9 = 57/9. We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3: 57/9 = (3*19)/(3*3) = 19/3. We can convert this back to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator: 19/3 = 6 1/3. Therefore, Mrs. Lee has 6 1/3 packs of stickers left.
Question 8
To add the time Mr. Lee spent jogging and lifting weights, we need to add the two mixed numbers. 3 1/5 + 1 3/10 can be converted to 16/5 + 13/10. The common denominator is 10, so 16/5 becomes 32/10. Adding 32/10 + 13/10 gives us 45/10, or 4 5/10 (which simplifies to 4 1/2). Adding this to the 2 7/8 hours he spent reading gives us a total of 7 13/40 hours spent on fitness and health-related activities.
Question 9
The total number of vehicles parked is 70. The number of busses and pickup trucks is 7 + 14 = 21. The number of motorcycles is 21. So the number of sedans is 70 - 21 = 49. Among the 70 vehicles, 2/5 are red, which is 28. 1/4 are white, which is 17.5, but we can assume 17. Among the 70 vehicles, the number of vehicles that are not busses or pickup trucks is 49. Therefore, the fraction of the vehicles that are not busses or pickup trucks is 49/70 = 7/10. So the answer is incorrect.
Question 10
To find the number of boxes of green crayons, we need to subtract the number of boxes of red and blue crayons from the total number of boxes of crayons. 5 1/2 + 2 1/4 = 7 3/4, which means there are 12 3/4 - 7 3/4 = 5 boxes of green crayons.
Question 11
Emily had 4 + 12 = 16 games initially. After receiving 18 games, she has a total of 16 + 18 = 34 games. The number of games that are not card games are 5 + 3 + (5/6) * 34 = 31.25 (rounded to 2 decimal places). Therefore, the number of card games are 34 - 31.25 = 2.75. The fraction of cards games is 2.75/34 = 0.081 (rounded to 3 decimal places), which is equivalent to 6/74.
Question 12
To find the total number of cakes the host should order, we need to multiply the number of kids with the fraction of cake each kid will eat. 8 kids * 1/4 cake per kid = 2 cakes. Therefore, the host should order 2 cakes.
Question 13
We need to subtract the contaminated and hard water from the total water to find the good water. To do that, we need to convert all fractions to a common denominator, which is 2. 8 1/2 = 17/2, 1/2 = 1/2, and 2 3/4 = 11/2. So, the total water is 17/2 gallons and the contaminated and hard water is (1/2 + 11/2) = 6 gallons. Subtracting 6 from 17/2 gives us 5/2, which simplifies to 2 1/2 gallons of good water. However, the answer given is 5 1/4 gallons, which is incorrect. Therefore, we cannot provide a solution for this question as the answer given is wrong.
Question 14
To find the answer, we can subtract the amount Mark drank from the total amount of milk. 5/8 - 3/8 = 2/8, which simplifies to 1/4. Therefore, there is 1/4 of a gallon of milk left.
Question 15
To solve the problem, we need to subtract the fraction of sugar required for the recipe from the total amount of sugar Samantha had. Therefore, 2 1/4 - 3/4 = 1 1/2 Hence, Samantha has 1 1/2 cups of sugar left.
Question 16
Samantha received a total of (2+16+25) = 43 gifts. She got 1 piece of jewelry, 6 bracelets, and 10 necklaces, so the remaining (43-1-6-10) = 26 gifts are gift cards. 3/5 of the gifts are wrapped, so there are (3/5 * 26) = 15.6 wrapped gifts. 1/3 of the wrapped gifts are wrapped in pink wrapping paper, so there are (1/3 * 15.6) ≈ 5.2 pink wrapped gifts. Half of them are wrapped with flowers, so there are (1/2 * 5.2) ≈ 2.6 pink and flower wrapped gifts. So, the fraction of gift cards is (26 / 43) = 8/13, which is not the same as the given answer.
Question 17
The total number of students in Mrs. Johnson's class is 18 (8 boys + 10 girls). Since 1/4 of the students in Mrs. Johnson's class are left-handed, 3/4 of the students are right-handed. Therefore, the fraction of students in Mrs. Johnson's class who are right-handed is 3/4.
Question 18
The initial amount of milk was 7 1/2 gallons. After spilling 1/2 gallon, the remaining amount is 7 gallons. The 4 assistants found that 3 1/4 gallons of milk were expired. Therefore, the amount of good milk left is 7 - 3 1/4 = 3 3/4 gallons. Hence, the answer is 3 3/4 gallons, not 2 3/4 gallons as given in the answer.
Question 19
Ava finished 2/3 of a pizza on Monday which means she had 1/3 of the pizza left. She planned to have 1/5 of a pizza on Tuesday. To subtract this fraction we need to find a common denominator. Since 5 and 3 have no common factors, we just need to multiply them together, giving us 15. 1/3 is equal to 5/15, and 1/5 is equal to 3/15. By subtracting 3/15 from 5/15 we get 2/15 of the pizza left after Tuesday's lunch. Therefore, Ava put away 5 - (2/15) = 4 3/5 pizzas.
Question 20
Noah finished 1/2 of a pizza, so he ate (1/2) * 1 = 1/2 pizza. He planned to eat 1/8 of a pizza the next day, which is (1/8) * 1 = 1/8 pizzas in total. So the total amount of pizza that Noah did not eat after Wednesday's dinner is 1 - 1/2 - 1/8 = 3/8 pizzas, which is equal to 1/2 pizza.
