question:Emily uses 3 jars of coffee creamer a month. If each jar costs 2.50 and she uses 3 jars every month for an entire year, 12 months, how much does she spend on coffee creamer?
answer:Since Emily uses 3 jars every month, and she does this for 12 months, she will use a total of 3 * 12 = 36 jars in a year.As each jar costs 2.50, the cost of 36 jars will be 36 * 2.50 = 90.Thus, Emily spends boxed{90} dollars on coffee creamer in a year.
question:Seven birds were perched on a branch. Five more than twice the original number of birds landed on the branch with the original group, creating a large flock. Suddenly, one-third of the birds were startled by a strong gust of wind and flew away. How many birds remained on the branch?
answer:Let's break this down step by step.Initially, there were 7 birds on the branch.Then, 5 more than twice the original number of birds landed on the branch. Twice the original number of birds is 2 x 7 = 14.5 more than this is 14 + 5 = 19.So, 19 more birds landed on the branch.The total number of birds now is 7 (initial birds) + 19 (new birds) = 26.One-third of the birds were startled by a strong gust of wind and flew away.One-third of 26 is 26 / 3 = 8.67 (round down to 8 since we can't have a fraction of a bird).So, 8 birds flew away.The number of birds that remained on the branch is 26 - 8 = 18.Therefore, boxed{18} birds remained on the branch.
question:Maya consumes 2 jars of her favorite coffee creamer every month. When her favorite store has a 25% off sale, she buys a year's supply. If each jar costs 5.50, how much will Maya pay for the entire year's worth of coffee creamer after the discount?
answer:Since Maya consumes 2 jars of coffee creamer every month, she needs 2 * 12 = 24 jars per year.Each jar costs 5.50.So the total cost of 24 jars without discount would be 24 * 5.50 = 132 dollars.A 25% discount amounts to 132 * 25 / 100 = 3300 / 100 = 33 dollars.So the discount reduces the price of 24 jars to 132 - 33 = 99 dollars.Thus, Maya will pay boxed{99} dollars for a year's worth of coffee creamer after the discount.
question:On a honey farm, on average every 8 beehives produce 64 kilograms of honey per month. In three months, the beehives produced 1152 kilograms of honey. How many beehives are on the farm?
answer:To find the number of beehives, we can calculate the total amount of honey produced per beehive and then divide the total amount of honey produced by this amount.Every 8 beehives produce 64 kilograms of honey per month.So every beehive produces 64 / 8 = 8 kilograms of honey per month.Thus every beehive produces 8 * 3 = 24 kilograms of honey in 3 months.Since the total honey produced in 3 months is 1152 kilograms, and each beehive produces 24 kilograms of honey in 3 months, the total number of beehives is 1152 / 24 = 48.Thus, the number of beehives on the farm is boxed{48}.
question:There are 8 red pens in Maria's desk drawer. There are 10 more black pens than red pens. There are also 7 more blue pens than red pens. How many pens are there in all?
answer:Let's start by identifying the number of red pens, which is given as 8.Since there are 10 more black pens than red pens, the number of black pens is 8 + 10 = 18.There are also 7 more blue pens than red pens, so the number of blue pens is 8 + 7 = 15.Now, let's add up the total number of pens:Red pens: 8Black pens: 18Blue pens: 15Total number of pens: 8 + 18 + 15 = 26 + 15 = 41So, there are boxed{41} pens in all.
question:Alex is the host of a morning talk show, and he features interviews with famous authors. Each day, he interviews two authors, one at a time. The first interview segment is always three times as long as the second segment, and there is a 5-minute break in between the two segments. If the second segment is 15 minutes long, how many minutes long is the entire show?
answer:The second segment is 15 minutes long.The first segment is three times as long as the second segment, so it is 3 * 15 = 45 minutes long.There is a 5-minute break between the two segments.The total length of the show is the sum of the lengths of the two segments and the break, which is 45 + 5 + 15 = 50 + 15 = 65 minutes.So the entire show is boxed{65} minutes long.
