question:Haley has 5 more necklaces than Jason. Josh has half the number of necklaces as Jason. If Haley has 25 necklaces, how many more necklaces does Haley have than Josh?
answer:Let's first compute the number of necklaces Jason has.Since Haley has 5 more necklaces than Jason and she has 25 necklaces, Jason has 25-5=20 necklaces.Josh has half the number of necklaces as Jason which is 20 / 2 = 10.So Haley has 25-10=15 more necklaces than Josh.Thus, Haley has boxed{15} more necklaces than Josh.
question:The chances of making the junior high basketball team start at 10% if you're 66 inches and increase 10% for every additional inch of height. Devin starts out as 65 inches tall, then grows 3 inches. What are his chances of making the basketball team?
answer:Devin was originally 65 inches tall and grew 3 inches, so he is now 65 + 3 = 68 inches tall.Since the chances of making the team start at 10% for a height of 66 inches, Devin has 68 - 66 = 2 inches of height above the baseline.For each inch of height above 66 inches, Devin's chances increase by 10%, so his chances are now 10% + (2 * 10%) = 10% + 20% = 30%.Thus, Devin's chances of making the basketball team are boxed{30}%.
question:Alyana has a pizza that is cut into 16 slices. After she and her friends finish eating, there are 4 slices left. If each of them ate 2 slices of pizza, how many people ate the pizza?
answer:Let's break down the problem:Initially, there were 16 slices of pizza.After Alyana and her friends finished eating, there were 4 slices left.This means they ate 16 - 4 = 12 slices of pizza.Since each person ate 2 slices of pizza, the total number of people who ate the pizza is:12 slices / 2 slices per person = 6 peopleSo, boxed{6} people ate the pizza.
question:There were 180 students in the school's annual talent show. Of those, a third of them were singers. Of the singers, 30 sang a solo performance. How many of the singer students did not sing a solo?
answer:Let's break down the problem:There were 180 students in total.A third of them were singers, which means the number of singers is 180 / 3 = 60.Out of the 60 singers, 30 sang a solo performance.So, the number of singers who did not sing a solo is 60 - 30 = 30.Thus, the number of singer students who did not sing a solo is boxed{30}.
question:A bookstore sold 120 copies of a bestseller on Monday. On Tuesday, they sold 3 times that amount. On Wednesday, they sold 90 copies. What was the average number of copies sold per day?
answer:To find the average number of copies sold per day, we need to add up the total number of copies sold and divide by the number of days.On Monday, they sold 120 copies.On Tuesday, they sold 3 times that amount, so they sold 120 * 3 = 360 copies.On Wednesday, they sold 90 copies.The total number of copies sold is 120 + 360 + 90 = 480 + 90 = 570.To find the average, we divide this total by the number of days, which is 3.So, the average number of copies sold per day is 570 / 3 = 190.Thus, the average number of copies sold per day is boxed{190}.
question:Mia and her friend Ava recently learned about the joys of raising pets and began adopting birds and hamsters from a nearby shelter. Mia has 16 birds and hamsters, 3/4 of which are birds. Ava has 2/3 as many birds as Mia and 5 more hamsters than Mia. How many animals in total do the two have?
answer:Let's break down the problem step by step.Mia has 16 birds and hamsters, 3/4 of which are birds. This means that 3/4 * 16 = 0.75 * 16 = 12 are birds. Since she has a total of 16, the remaining 16 - 12 = 4 are hamsters.Ava has 2/3 as many birds as Mia, which means she has 2/3 * 12 = 0.6666666666666666 * 12 = 8 birds.Ava also has 5 more hamsters than Mia. Since Mia has 4 hamsters, Ava has 4 + 5 = 9 hamsters.In total, Mia has 16 animals, and Ava has 8 + 9 = 17 animals.So, the total number of animals they have together is 16 + 17 = boxed{33}.
