Solutions

Question 1
To find the average number of packages delivered per day, divide the total number of packages by 7 (number of days in a week): 12,500/7 = 1785.7. Since we need to round to the nearest thousand if the answer is greater than 1000, we round up to 2000.

Question 2
To find out the number of stuffed animals produced in a week, we need to multiply the daily production by 7 (as there are 7 days in a week). So, 7,350 x 7 = 51,450. Since we need to round the answer to the nearest thousand, we get 51,000.

Question 3
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 4
To find the answer, divide the total number of middle school students (7,832) by the number of middle schools (8): 7,832 ÷ 8 = 979. Therefore, each middle school has about 979 students.

Question 5
To find the number of constellations, divide the total number of stars by the number of stars in each constellation: 1245 ÷ 5 = 249. Therefore, Mr. Smith had seen about 249 constellations.

Question 6
To find the number of boxes left, we can subtract the number of boxes shipped from the total number of boxes produced: 1,358 - 956 = 402. Therefore, there were 402 boxes left.

Question 7
To find the answer, multiply the number of pizzas the chef can make per day (2,820) by the number of days in a month (usually considered as 30): 2,820 x 30 = 84600. Since we are rounding to nearest thousand, the answer is 84000.

Question 8
Speed = distance/time Speed = 2100/14 Speed = 150 km/hr Round to the nearest thousand is still 150.

Question 9
To find the average number of students per preschool, divide the total number of preschoolers by the total number of preschools: 1,345 / 15 = 89.66666667. Rounded to the nearest thousand, this is 90.

Question 10
To determine how many soccer balls John can purchase, divide his total money by the cost of each soccer ball: $150 ÷ $25 = 6. Therefore, John can purchase 6 soccer balls.

Question 11
To find the number of cupcakes left, we subtract the number of cupcakes used from the number of cupcakes ordered: 2500 - 1800 = 700. Therefore, there are approximately 700 cupcakes left.

Question 12
To find the number of pots of seeds, divide the total number of seeds by the number of seeds in each pot: 7,880 ÷ 25 = 315. Therefore, Mr. Martin planted 315 pots of seeds.

Question 13
To find the approximate number of homeschooling families, divide the total number of homeschool students by the average number of students per family: 2,983 / 3 = 994.33. Rounded to the nearest thousand, this is 994.

Question 14
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 15
To find how many goats Michael will feed this week, we need to add the number of goats he currently has (1645) and the number of baby goats born last week (284). This gives us a total of 1929 goats. However, since we need to round to the nearest thousand if our answer is greater than 1000, we round 1929 to the nearest thousand, which gives us 2000. Therefore, our final answer is 2000 goats.

Question 16
To find the total number of books sold during the week-long book fair, we simply add up the number of books sold on each day. Total books sold = 1,050 + 1,700 + 1,200 + 1,500 + 1,800 = 7,250 Rounding to the nearest thousand, we get approximately 7,000 books sold.

Question 17
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 18
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 19
Multiply the number of batches by the number of bricks per batch. That gives us: 17 x 592 = 10,064. Therefore, the construction workers laid about 10,064 bricks.

Question 20
To find the cupcakes sold per hour, we need to divide the total cupcakes sold by the number of hours they were sold. So, 3,725 ÷ 7 = 532. Therefore, cupcakes sold per hour is 532. Since the answer matches with the given answer, the solution is correct.
