Solutions

Question 1
To find the total number of employees in the office, we need to multiply the number of cubicles by the number of employees sitting in each cubicle. So, 56 cubicles x 4 employees per cubicle = 224 employees. Therefore, there were 224 employees in the office.

Question 2
To find out how many kangaroo families moved out, we need to subtract the number of families that stayed from the total number of families in the area. So, the solution would be 50 - 23 = 27.

Question 3
Subtract 2 from 30. The notebook is 28 centimeters long.

Question 4
First, we need to determine how many books can fit on one shelf. We do this by dividing the maximum number of books that can be carried by the shelf by the total number of shelves, so 6 books / 1 shelf = 6 books per shelf. Next, we divide the total number of books by the number of books per shelf, so 90 books / 6 books per shelf = 15 shelves.

Question 5
To find the total number of points Jack would score in 8 games, we need to multiply his average score per game (10) by the number of games (8). Therefore, Jack would score a total of 80 points in 8 games.

Question 6
Subtract the number of students in Ms. Johnson's class from the number of students in Mr. Garcia's class. 18 - 10 = 8 Therefore, there are 8 more students in Mr. Garcia's class than in Ms. Johnson's class.

Question 7
66 - 17 = 49

Question 8
Ethan boiled 36 potatoes, which is six sets of six. He added 2.5 ounces of milk for every set of six potatoes, so he added 6 sets multiplied by 2.5 ounces, which is equal to 15 ounces of milk.

Question 9
Subtract the number of dolls given away from the total number of dolls: 40 - 20 = 20. Sam has 20 dolls left.

Question 10
Each referee oversaw 5 rounds.
