A phone company charges 2 dollars for the first five minutes of a phone call and 30 cents per minute thereafter. If Malik makes a phone call that lasts 25 minutes, what will be the total cost of the phone call?

The total cost of the phone call can be represented by the equation: TC = $2.00 + $0.3x, where x is the duration of the call after the first five minutes. In this case, x = 20. Substitute the known values into the equation and solve for the total cost: TC = $2.00 + $0.3 × 20 TC = $2.00 + $6.00 = $8.00

Janet wants to carpet a 12-feet by 15- feet rectangular room. If carpet costs $11.50 per square yard, how much will it cost her to carpet the room?

Be careful with this one. Note that the measurement of the room is given in feet, but the cost of the carpet is given in square yards. The easiest way to deal with this is to express the measurement of the room in yards; 12 feet by 15 feet is the same as 4 yards by 5 yards, so the room measures 20 square yards. At $11.50 per square yard, the cost to carpet the room would be 20 × $11.50 = $230.

Margaret is getting married and must be ready by 11:15 a.m. If it’s now 8:30 a.m, how much time does she have to get ready?

The amount of time from 8:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m is 2 hours and 45 minutes, or 2 + (45/60). To reduce the fraction, divide 45 by 60 to get 0.75, or  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. The total amount of time Margaret has to get ready is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ hours.

Will has been working on a report for 4 hours each day, 7 days a week for 2 weeks. How many minutes has Will worked on his report?

If Will has worked 4 hours per day for 7 days per week, he has worked @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ hours per week. He did this for 2 weeks, so he has worked @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ hours in the 2 weeks. Multiply by 60 to convert this to minutes. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ minutes.

A stack of lumber is 6-feet high. If each piece of lumber is 4-inches thick, how many pieces of lumber are in the stack?

Multiply the height of the stack in feet by 12 to determine the height of the stack in inches: 6 × 12 = 72 inches. Divide that number by 4 inches, the thickness of each board to determine the number of pieces of lumber in the stack: 72 ÷ 4 = 18.

A blueprint has a scale of 3 feet per @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ inch. If a bathroom is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ inches × 2 inches, what are its actual dimensions?

If the blueprint shows @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ inch for every 3 feet, then 1 inch represents 6 feet. 

The actual dimensions of a room @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ inches × 2 inches would be (@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@* 6) by (2 × 6) or 9 feet by 12 feet.

If the blueprint shows @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ inch for every 3 feet, then 1 inch represents 6 feet. 

The actual dimensions of a room @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ inches × 2 inches would be (@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@* 6) by (2 × 6) or 9 feet by.

6 feet × @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ feet.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ feet × 6 feet.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ feet × 9 feet.

The basketball game starts at 8:00. If it is now 5:30, how much time is left before the game starts?

At 5:30, there are 30 minutes to 6:00 and 2 additional hours until 8:00 for a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The distance from Mark’s house to Peter’s house is 12 yards, 1 foot and 17 inches. How far apart are the houses, in inches?

Since there are 36 inches in a yard, 12 yards is the same as 12 × 36 = 432 inches. In the same way, 1 foot contains 12 inches, and the total distance is 432 inches + 12 inches + 17 inches = 461 inches.

Karl is driving in Austria, where the speed limit is posted in kilometers per hour. The car’s speedometer shows that he’s traveling at a rate of 75 kilometers per hour. Karl knows that a kilometer is about 5/8 of a mile. Approximately how many miles per hour is Karl traveling?

A kilometer is  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@  of a mile, so multiply 75 × @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@, or @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ × @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. 

Divide 8 into 375 to reduce the fraction and determine that Karl was traveling at 47 miles per hour.

A patio measures 12 feet by 14 feet. How many 8-inch-square paving stones are needed to pave the patio?

To find the number of 8-inch-square paving stones needed to pave the patio, we first need to convert the dimensions of the patio to inches. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, the patio measures 12 × 12 = 144 inches by 14 × 12 = 168 inches.

 - Next, we need to find the area of the patio in square inches by multiplying the length by the width: 144 × 168 = 24,192 square inches.

 To find the number of 8-inch-square paving stones needed to cover this area, we need to divide the total area of the patio by the area of each paving stone. The area of an 8-inch-square paving stone is 8 × 8 = 64 square inches.

 So, the number of paving stones needed is:

 24,192 square inches / 64 square inches per paving stone = 378 paving stones (rounded up to the nearest whole number)

Debra works an 8-hour shift on Friday. How many minutes does she work on Friday?

8 hours × 60 minutes per hour = 480 minutes.

Eric is driving a car in which the speedometer is calibrated in kilometers per hour (kph). He notes that his car is traveling at a rate of 75 kph, when he passes a speed limit sign stating the limit is 40 miles per hour (mph). He knows that a kilometer is about 5/8 of a mile. If a police officer stops him at this point, how many mph over the limit will the ticket read?

A kilometer is  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@  of a mile, so multiply 75 × @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@, or @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ × @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. 

Divide 8 into 375 to reduce the fraction and determine that Eric was traveling at 47 miles per hour, 7 mph over the 40 mph posted limit.

The value of 18 quarters, 6 dimes, and 24 nickels is<code>______</code>.

The total is (18 × $0.25) + (6 × $0.10) + (24 × $0.05) = $4.50 + $0.60 + $1.20 = $6.30.

William is from England and is visiting the United States. On his trip he visits Texas and notices that it is very hot. He looks at a thermometer and it reads 95 degrees fahrenheit. William wants to know what this converts to in Celcius? Assume C = (F- 32) / 1.8

Substituting 95 for F in the equation yields C = (95 - 32) = 63 / 1.8 = 35 degrees C.

A 15-lb roast contains 45 servings of meat. What is the rate in servings per pound?

Given that a 15-lb roast contains 45 servings, we can calculate the rate as follows:
 Rate = Number of Servings / Weight
 Rate = 45 servings / 15 lbs
 Rate = 3 servings per pound
 Therefore, the rate is 3 servings per pound.
