Solutions

Question 1
To find the number of watermelons required to match the weight of the largest pumpkin ever grown, we can simply divide the weight of the pumpkin by the weight of one watermelon. This gives us 1190 kg ÷ 5 kg = 238 watermelons.

Question 2
The jacket costs $38 and the backpack costs $45. Tom can get a 20% discount on both of them since they are both priced higher than $30. Discount on the jacket = 0.2 * $38 = $7.6 Discount on the backpack = 0.2 * $45 = $9 So, Tom will pay $38 - $7.6 = $30.4 for the jacket and $45 - $9 = $36 for the backpack. Therefore, the total amount Tom needs to pay = $30.4 + $36 = $66.4.

Question 3
To find the total number of science fiction books sold over three days, add the number of books sold on each day: 75 + 89 + 122 = 286.

Question 4
To find the number of computers each employee can use, we need to divide the total number of computers by the number of employees. 24 / 6 = 4, so each employee can use 4 computers.

Question 5
To find the total amount of sugar used by Ethan for the pastries, we need to multiply the amount of sugar used for each pastry (2 oz) by the number of pastries (12). This gives us a total of 24 oz of sugar. To express this amount in pounds and ounces, we can divide by 16 to get the number of pounds and use the remainder as the number of ounces: 24/16 = 1 remainder 8. This means that Ethan used 1 lb 8 oz of sugar for the pastries in all.

Question 6
To find the weight of Ava's male cat, we first need to add 2 lbs 3 oz to the weight of the female cat. 14 lbs 6 oz + 2 lbs 3 oz = 16 lbs 9 oz. Therefore, the weight of Ava's male cat is 16 lbs 9 oz.

Question 7
To find the difference in weight between the roasted pork and the roasted chicken, we need to subtract the weight of the roasted chicken from the weight of the roasted pork. To do this, we work with each part of the weight separately. The roasted chicken weighs 7 lbs 13 oz, which is the same as 7 + 13/16 lbs. The roasted pork weighs 12 lbs 8 oz, which is the same as 12 + 8/16 lbs. We can now subtract the weight of the roasted chicken from the weight of the roasted pork: 12 + 8/16 - 7 - 13/16 = 4 + 11/16 lbs. We can convert this back to pounds and ounces by multiplying the decimal part (0.6875) by 16 to get the number of ounces: 0.6875 x 16 = 11. This means that the roasted pork is 4 lbs 11 oz heavier than the roasted chicken.

Question 8
To find out how many swimming pools it would take to match the depth of the Challenger Deep we need to divide the depth of the Challenger Deep by the depth of an average swimming pool. Depth of the Challenger Deep = 10,984 meters Depth of an average swimming pool = 2 meters 10,984 / 2 = 5492 Therefore, it would take 5492 swimming pools to match the depth of the Challenger Deep.

Question 9
Since both ingredients are measured in different units, we need to convert them to a common unit. We can convert the weight of flour from oz to lbs and then compare the sugar quantities in lbs. The recipe for banana bread needs 16/16 = 1 lb of flour and 0.25 lbs of sugar. The recipe for brownies needs 20/16 = 1.25 lbs of flour and 10/16 = 0.625 lbs of sugar. Therefore, the recipe for brownies needs more sugar. The answer is correct.

Question 10
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, add up all the sides. Therefore, the perimeter of the paper is (2*15) + (2*8) = 46 cm.

Question 11
To find the total weight, multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags. Therefore, the total weight of all the bags of rice is 5 kg * 60 = 300 kg.

Question 12
To find out how many bags of paper waste they collected on Sunday, subtract the number of bags collected on Saturday from the total number of bags collected. Therefore, 9.5 - 4.2 = 5.3. To determine the day they collected the most bags of paper waste, you can compare the bags collected on Saturday and Sunday. As Saturday's 4.2 bags is less than Sunday's 5.3 bags, the school custodians collected most bags of paper waste on Sunday.

Question 13
To compare the amount of peanut butter between the jar and the can, we need to have the same units. We know that 1 lb = 16 oz, so the jar has (1 x 16) + 8 = 24 oz of peanut butter. This means that the jar has the same amount of peanut butter as the can. However, since the jar has more peanut butter than the can in terms of physical size, some people may perceive that the jar has more peanut butter.

Question 14
To find the total mass of the snacks John bought, we need to first find the mass of the tortilla chips, cheese puffs and energy drink separately. Mass of tortilla chips = 4 x 10 = 40 ounces Mass of cheese puffs = 2 x 6 = 12 ounces Mass of energy drink = 7 x 12 = 84 ounces Total mass = 40 + 12 + 84 = 136 ounces To convert this to pounds and ounces, we need to divide 136 by 16, since there are 16 ounces in a pound. This gives us 8 pounds with a remainder of 8 ounces. Therefore, the total mass of the snacks John bought is 4 lbs 8 oz.

Question 15
To find the difference in price between the two drinks, we need to subtract the cost of one bottle of soda from the cost of one bottle of lemonade. 2.00 - 1.50 = 0.50. Therefore, the difference in price between the two drinks is $0.50.

Question 16
To compare the amount of sugar needed in each recipe, we need to convert the units of measurement for sugar to the same unit. Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, the recipe for vegan cookies needs 16 + 1 = 17 ounces of sugar, while the recipe for cheesecake needs only 6 ounces of sugar. Therefore, the recipe for vegan cookies needs more sugar.

Question 17
To find the amount of fabric Samantha has leftover, we need to subtract the amount of fabric she used from the amount she bought. To do this, we need to convert 2 1/2 yards to 5/2 yards. Then, we can subtract 5/2 yards from 6 yards to get 1/2 yard, which can then be further simplified to 0.5 yards or 3.5 feet. Therefore, Samantha has 3.5 yards of fabric leftover.

Question 18
To solve the problem, we need to subtract 2 1/3 from 5 1/3. 5 1/3 - 2 1/3 = 3 Therefore, 3 jars of peanut butter were left.

Question 19
To find how many ounces of beef she used in each meatball, we need to divide the total amount of beef (in ounces) by the number of meatballs. First, let's convert the 4 lbs of beef into ounces: 4 lbs x 16 oz/lb = 64 oz. Next, we add the 2 lbs of breadcrumbs to get the total mass of the mixture: 64 oz + 32 oz = 96 oz. Finally, we divide the total mass of the mixture by the number of meatballs: 96 oz / 8 meatballs = 12 oz of mixture per meatball. Since we know that each meatball contains both beef and breadcrumbs, we can subtract the 2 oz of breadcrumbs from each meatball to get the amount of beef: 12 oz - 2 oz = 10 oz of beef per meatball. Therefore, she used 8 ounces of beef in each meatball.

Question 20
To find d, we need to divide the total number of pages by the number of orders. Therefore, d = 24000 / 8 = 3000.
