question:Emily draws a painting every 3 days for 5 years. If she takes a 30-day break each year, how many paintings has she drawn?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total number of days Emily spends drawing paintings each year and then multiply it by the total number of years.There are 365 days in a year, but Emily takes a 30-day break, so she spends 365 - 30 = 335 days drawing each year.She draws a painting every 3 days, so in 335 days she draws 335 / 3 = 111.67 paintings. However, since she can't draw a fraction of a painting, we will round down to 111 paintings per year.Emily does this for 5 years, so the total number of paintings she draws is 111 * 5 = 555.Thus Emily has drawn boxed{555} paintings.
question:Lena collected 15 more seashells than her sister during their beach vacation. Lena's father collected three times the total number of seashells Lena and her sister collected. Calculate the total number of seashells the three collected if Lena's sister collected 30 seashells.
answer:Let's break this down step by step:1. Lena's sister collected 30 seashells.2. Lena collected 15 more seashells than her sister, so Lena collected 30 + 15 = 45 seashells.3. The total number of seashells Lena and her sister collected is 30 + 45 = 75 seashells.4. Lena's father collected three times the total number of seashells Lena and her sister collected, so he collected 3 x 75 = 225 seashells.5. The total number of seashells the three collected is 30 + 45 + 225 = 75 + 225 = 300 seashells.So, the total number of seashells the three collected is boxed{300}.
question:Emily and Ryan start ascending from the ground floor of a building at the same time. Emily uses the elevator and Ryan uses the stairs, climbing 2 steps every second. The stairs have 25 steps across each floor. If the elevator will take 45 seconds to get to the 10th floor, how many seconds later will Ryan get to the 10th floor?
answer:To determine how many seconds later Ryan will get to the 10th floor compared to Emily, we first need to calculate how long it takes Ryan to climb to the 10th floor.Since there are 25 steps across each floor, and Ryan is climbing to the 10th floor, he needs to climb a total of 25 times 10 = 250 steps.Given that Ryan climbs 2 steps every second, the time it takes for him to climb to the 10th floor is 250 div 2 = 125 seconds.Emily, who uses the elevator, will take 45 seconds to get to the 10th floor.Therefore, Ryan will get to the 10th floor 125 - 45 = 80 seconds later than Emily.The answer is boxed{80}.
question:Maria and 11 of her classmates want to buy sandwiches for lunch. Each person will have 3 sandwiches, and each pack contains 6 sandwiches. How many packs of sandwiches should they buy?
answer:The total number of people who want to buy sandwiches is 12 (Maria and 11 classmates).Each person will have 3 sandwiches, so the total number of sandwiches needed is 12 x 3 = 36.Each pack contains 6 sandwiches, so the number of packs needed is 36 / 6 = 6.Thus, they need to buy boxed{6} packs of sandwiches.
question:Emily is planning a popcorn party for her classmates. Fifteen students will attend, including Emily. The popcorn costs 30 cents per bag. How much will Emily pay (in dollars) for the popcorn if she wants each student to receive 1.5 bags?
answer:The cost per bag of popcorn is 30 cents, which is 0.30.Since there are 15 students and each student gets 1.5 bags, the total number of bags needed is 15 * 1.5 = 22.5.Since we can't buy half a bag, we'll round up to 23 bags, but since the problem doesn't explicitly state that we should round up, we will use 22.5 bags for the computation.The total cost of popcorn will be 22.5 bags * 0.30 per bag.The total cost is 22.5 * 0.30 = 6.75.Thus, Emily will pay boxed{6.75} dollars for the popcorn.
question:Maria has a large container that can hold 3 pounds of potting soil. She wants to fill her garden bed that is 3 feet deep, 6 feet wide, and 8 feet long. A cubic foot of potting soil weighs 2.5 pounds. To avoid fatigue, she takes a 5-minute break every 5 trips and eats a 2-ounce energy bar. A 12-ounce pack of energy bars costs 5. She has 20 with her. How much change will she have after buying all the energy bars she needs?
answer:To calculate the change Maria will have after buying all the energy bars she needs, we first need to determine the number of trips she needs to make to fill the garden bed and then the number of energy bars she needs.The volume of the garden bed in cubic feet is 3 * 6 * 8 = 18 * 8 = 144 cubic feet.Since each cubic foot of potting soil weighs 2.5 pounds, the total weight of potting soil needed is 144 * 2.5 = 360 pounds.Maria can carry 3 pounds of potting soil per trip. Thus, she needs to make 360 / 3 = 120 trips.Since she takes a 5-minute break every 5 trips, she will take a break 120 / 5 = 24 times.Each time she takes a break, she eats a 2-ounce energy bar. So she will eat 24 energy bars.Each energy bar is 2 ounces, and a pack is 12 ounces. Thus, a pack contains 12 / 2 = 6 energy bars.Maria needs 24 energy bars, so she will buy 24 / 6 = 4 packs of energy bars.Each pack costs 5, so she will spend 4 * 5 = 20.Since she has 20, the change she will have is 20 - 20 = 0.Thus, Maria will have boxed{0} dollars left after buying all the energy bars she needs.
