question:In Emma's art box, there are fifteen more colored pencils than markers and three times as many markers as crayons. There are also twelve crayons and five fewer paintbrushes than crayons. How many art supplies in all are there in Emma's art box?
answer:Let's break down the information we have:* 12 crayons* 5 fewer paintbrushes than crayons, so 12 - 5 = 7 paintbrushes* 3 times as many markers as crayons, so 3 * 12 = 36 markers* 15 more colored pencils than markers, so 36 + 15 = 51 colored pencilsNow, let's add up the total number of art supplies:12 crayons + 7 paintbrushes + 36 markers + 51 colored pencils = 106 art suppliesThus, Emma has boxed{106} art supplies in her art box.
question:Emily's parents allow her to play video games on Fridays, but for every 15 minutes of gaming, she has to spend 10 minutes reading a book. If she plays video games for 3 hours, how many minutes of reading does she have to do?
answer:Since Emily has to read 10 minutes for every 15 minutes of gaming, we need to find the number of 15-minute blocks in 3 hours of gaming. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. So there are 60 * 3 = 180 minutes in 3 hours. We divide 180 minutes by 15 to get the number of blocks which is 180 / 15 = 12. So Emily needs to read 10 * 12 = 120 minutes. Thus Emily needs to read for boxed{120} minutes.
question:Ashley can sew 12 patches in 4 minutes. Ben can sew 18 patches within that same time. How many more patches can Ben sew in 24 minutes than Ashley?
answer:Let's first find out how many patches Ashley and Ben can sew in 24 minutes.Since Ashley can sew 12 patches in 4 minutes, in 24 minutes she can sew 12 * 6 = 72 patches.Since Ben can sew 18 patches in 4 minutes, in 24 minutes he can sew 18 * 6 = 108 patches.The difference between the number of patches Ben and Ashley can sew is 108 - 72 = 36 patches.Thus, Ben can sew boxed{36} more patches than Ashley in 24 minutes.
question:Maya is harvesting wheat in her farm. For every 18 bundles of wheat she harvests, she needs to get her scythe blade replaced. It costs her 8 to replace the blade. If she spends 48 on blade replacements, at least how many bundles of wheat has she harvested?
answer:Let's solve the problem.Maya spends 8 to replace the blade for every 18 bundles of wheat she harvests.She spends a total of 48 on blade replacements.To find the number of times she replaced the blade, we can divide the total amount spent by the cost of replacing the blade: 48 / 8 = 6.Since she replaces the blade for every 18 bundles of wheat, the total number of bundles of wheat she has harvested is 6 x 18 = 108.So, Maya has harvested at least boxed{108} bundles of wheat.
question:A bookstore owner ordered books to restock the shelves. She bought 120 science fiction books, 15 more romance books than the science fiction books, and 8 fewer mystery books than the science fiction books. How many books did the bookstore owner purchase?
answer:Let's break down the information:* The owner bought 120 science fiction books.* She bought 15 more romance books than science fiction books, so she bought 120 + 15 = 135 romance books.* She bought 8 fewer mystery books than science fiction books, so she bought 120 - 8 = 112 mystery books.To find the total number of books purchased, we add up the number of books in each category:120 (science fiction) + 135 (romance) + 112 (mystery) = 367The bookstore owner purchased boxed{367} books.
question:The Sailing School offers 3 beginner sailing lessons on weekdays and 6 beginner lessons on each day of the weekend. Each lesson can accommodate 8 students. How many students can enroll in lessons over a period of 4 weeks?
answer:There are 5 weekdays in a week and 2 weekend days in a week.The school offers 3 beginner sailing lessons on weekdays and 6 beginner lessons on weekend days.Thus, in a week the school offers (5*3) + (2*6) = 15 + 12 = 27 lessons.Since there are 4 weeks, the total number of lessons offered is 4*27 = 108 lessons.Each lesson can accommodate 8 students.Thus the total number of students that can enroll in lessons over a period of 4 weeks is 108 * 8 = 864.So the answer is boxed{864}.
