Solutions

Question 1
To find the total number of apples, we simply have to multiply the number of boxes by the number of apples in each box. So, 24 boxes x 430 apples/box = 10320 apples. Since we need to round to the nearest thousand, we look at the last three digits of the answer. The last three digits are '320', which is less than half of '1000', so we round down and get 10000 apples.

Question 2
To find the number of rows used, we divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per row: 3600/20 = 180. Therefore, the worker used 180 rows to build the wall.

Question 3
To find out how many t-shirts were sold each day, we need to divide the total number of t-shirts sold in a week by the number of days the store is open. So, 20,326 ÷ 7 = 2903.714. To round this to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds digit (4) and round up if it is 5 or more, and round down if it is less than 5. In this case, since 4 is less than 5, we round down to get 2900. Therefore, the store sold about 2900 t-shirts each day.

Question 4
To find the number of toys sold each day, we divide the total number of toys sold by the number of days the store is open. 13,405 / 7 = 1,915 We need to round this number to the nearest thousand since the question asks us to do so. Rounding 1,915 to the nearest thousand, we get: 2,000 toys sold each day. Therefore, the answer is 2000.

Question 5
To find out the number of gallons of milk sold in a month, we need to multiply the weekly sales by 4 (as there are approximately 4 weeks in a month). So, 3,420 x 4 = 13,680. Since we need to round the answer to the nearest thousand, we get 14,000.

Question 6
To find the number of cars not honking, we need to subtract the number of honking cars from the total number of cars stuck in traffic. Therefore, the solution is: 3167 - 1124 = 2043. Rounding this to the nearest thousand gives us 2,000, which is the answer provided.

Question 7
To find the tickets sold per day, we need to divide the total tickets sold by the number of days they were sold. Since the music festival is for an entire weekend, we assume it to be for two days. So, 1,987 ÷ 2 = 993.5. The question suggests to round to the nearest thousand if the answer is greater than 1000, and in this case it is. Therefore, we round 993.5 to 1,000. Thus, tickets sold per day can be approximated to 1,000, which is different from the given answer. Hence, we cannot include this solution in the returned json array.

Question 8
To find the approximate number of adults, we can subtract the number of teenagers from the total number of people and round to the nearest thousand. 4382 - 2154 = 2228. Rounded to the nearest thousand, the approximate number of adults is 2000.

Question 9
To find the number of cupcakes left after the wedding, we need to subtract the number of cupcakes sold from the total number of cupcakes made. 4,567 - 3,213 = 1,354. Therefore, approximately 1,354 cupcakes were left after the wedding.

Question 10
To find the total number of patients in the hospital, we simply add up the number of patients in each time period. Total patients = 800 + 1,200 + 900 = 2,900 Rounding to the nearest thousand, we get approximately 3,000 patients.

Question 11
To find out how many tasks the machine can complete in 6 hours, we need to multiply the number of tasks it can complete in one hour (18) by the number of hours (6). This gives us 18 x 6 = 108. Therefore, the machine can complete approximately 108 tasks in 6 hours.

Question 12
To find the total number of fish fillets, we multiply the number ordered by the number of guests. 3 x 150 = 450. Therefore, about 450 fish fillets were ordered.

Question 13
150/75 = 2

Question 14
To find the speed of the marathon runner in miles per hour, first convert the time to hours. 3 hours and 45 minutes is equivalent to 3.75 hours. Then, divide the total distance (26.2 miles) by the time in hours (3.75 hours): 26.2/3.75 = 6.98667. Since we need to round to the nearest thousand if the answer is greater than 1000, we round up to 7.

Question 15
To find the approximate number of items that are not cans of soup, we can subtract the number of cans of soup from the total number of items. This gives us: 2038 - 751 = 1287. Rounding this to the nearest thousand, we get 1,000. Therefore, the approximate number of items that are not cans of soup is 1,000.

Question 16
To find the approximate number of women, subtract the number of men from the total number of people. 800 - 325 = 475. Therefore, about 475 people were women.

Question 17
To find how many more cows than goats there are, we simply subtract the number of goats from the number of cows. 8,076 - 3,297 = 4,779. Rounding this to the nearest thousand gives us an answer of 5,000.

Question 18
To find the number of shirts left in stock, we need to subtract the number of shirts sold from the number of shirts ordered. So, 4,871 - 2,369 = 2,502. As instructed, we round this answer to the nearest thousand since it is greater than 1000. The answer is therefore 2,500, which is closest to 2,502.

Question 19
To find the speed of the car, we need to divide the distance travelled (1800 km) by the time it took to travel (12 hours). This gives us a speed of 150 km per hour. Since our answer is already rounded to the nearest whole number, we do not need to round it any further. Therefore, our final answer is 150 km/h.

Question 20
To find the total number of pancakes, we multiply the number ordered by the number of cabins. 14 x 30 = 420. Therefore, the camp ordered 420 pancakes.
