Solutions

Question 1
Liam's sister caught the longest fish with a size of 22 inches. Liam, on the other hand, caught a fish that was only 14 inches long. The difference between their lengths is 22 - 14 = 8 inches.

Question 2
To find the number of pages to be printed per order, we need to divide the total number of pages by the number of orders. Therefore, 12000/4 = 3000 pages per order.

Question 3
To find the number of pieces sewn by each machine in a minute, we need to divide the total number of pieces sewn by the number of machines and then by the number of minutes in an hour. So, each machine can sew (75/3)/60 = 0.4167 pieces in a minute. Therefore, each machine can sew 0.4167 x 3 = 1.25 pieces in a minute.

Question 4
To find the distance from Andrew's school to the library, we need to subtract the distance at which he stopped from the total distance between his home and the library. Therefore, the distance from Andrew's school to the library is 7.2 km - 4.5 km = 2.7 km.

Question 5
To find out how tall the giraffe is, we need to add Lena's height and the height difference between her and the giraffe. 6 ft 3 in + 11 ft 8 in = 17 ft 11 in. Therefore, the giraffe is 17 ft 11 in tall.

Question 6
Each flamingo has 2 legs, so we can divide 2,851 by 2 to get the total number of flamingos. This gives us 1,425. However, we need to round this to the nearest thousand since the question asks for an estimate. Since 1,425 is closer to 1,000 than 2,000, we round down to 1,000.

Question 7
Subtract the height of the second biggest tree from the height of the biggest tree: 30 - 25.5 = 4.5 meters. Therefore, the biggest tree is 4.5 meters taller than the second biggest tree.

Question 8
In order to compare the two distances, we need to convert the distance between Mark's workplace and the coffee shop to feet. 2.5 miles is equal to 13,200 feet (1 mile = 5280 feet). Since 4500 feet is less than 13,200 feet, Mark's workplace is closer to the bank.

Question 9
If Mrs. Hernandez can only fit one loaf of bread at a time, then she needs to start baking the loaves at least 45 minutes before the picnic starts. If she starts baking at 11:15 a.m., she can finish baking all the loaves by 1:00 p.m. Therefore, the latest time for Mrs. Hernandez to start baking is 11:15 a.m.

Question 10
Alex jogs 4 km each day 2 times a week, so he jogs 8 km per week. In 8 weeks, he jogs a total of 64 km. Since 1 km = 1000 meters, 64 km = 64000 meters. Therefore, Alex jogs 64000 meters in 8 weeks.
