How many pounds do four tons of gravel weigh?

One ton = 2,000 pounds. Therefore, 4 tons = 8,000 pounds.

Vanda put some water in the freezer. When she removed it, the water’s temperature was 0°C. Leaving it out will raise the temperature 4°F each hour. At this rate, when will the water’s temperature be 52°F?

0°C is equivalent to a Fahrenheit temperature of 0°(9/5)+32= 32° F. To become 52° F, the temperature must rise 20° F. If it rises 4° F every hour, then 20/4 or 5 hours later, it will be at 52° F.

A half-pint of cream is what part of a gallon?

8 pints make up a gallon, so a gallon contains 16 half-pints. One half-pint equals @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ of a gallon.

Junior has saved money in his piggybank over the winter. He wants to buy a $30 computer game. If he has 14 one-dollar bills, 16 half dollars, 12 quarters, 8 dimes, 25 nickels, and 10 pennies, how much more does he need to borrow from Dad to buy the game?

Convert the change to dollars or fractions of dollars and add: 14 dollars = $14.00 16 half dollars = $8.00 12 quarters = $3.00 8 dimes = $0.80 25 nickels = $1.25 10 pennies = $0.10 ---------- Sum = $27.15 Subtract the total from $30.00 to determine how much money Junior has to borrow: $30.00 – $27.15 = $2.85.

Shanella has 17 quarters, 33 dimes, and 8 pennies. The total amount of money is <code>_________</code>.

The total amount is (17 × $0.25) + (33 × $0.10) + (8 × $0.01) = $4.25 + $3.30 + $0.08 = $7.63.

How many quart cans can be filled from a 25-gallon bucket of paint?

A gallon consists of 4 quarts. 4 × 25 = 100.

How many blocks 6 inches × 4 inches × 4 inches can fit in a box 8 feet × 6 feet × 4 feet?

Convert the dimensions of the box from feet to inches. 8 feet × 6 feet × 4 feet is equivalent to (8 × 12 inches) × (6 × 12 inches) × (4 × 12 inches) = 96 inches × 72 in × 48 inches. The volume = 96 × 72 × 48 = 331,776. The volume of each block is 6 × 4 × 4 = 96. The number of blocks that fit in the box is 331,776/96= 3,456.

A sales manager buys antacid in bottles by the gross. If he goes through 3 bottles of antacid every day, how long will the gross last?

A gross refers to a unit of measurement equal to 144 items. Therefore, if the sales manager buys antacid in bottles by the gross, it means he purchases them in sets of 144 bottles.
 If the sales manager goes through 3 bottles of antacid every day, we can calculate how long the gross will last by dividing the total number of bottles in the gross by the number of bottles used per day.
 Number of bottles in a gross = 144
 Number of bottles used per day = 3
 Days the gross will last = 144 bottles ÷ 3 bottles per day = 48 days
 Therefore, the gross of antacid bottles will last the sales manager for approximately 48 days.

A crate containing a puppy weighs 60 pounds, 5 ounces. The puppy weighs 43 pounds, 7 ounces. How much does the crate alone weigh?

To determine the weight of the crate alone, we can subtract the weight of the puppy from the total weight of the crate and puppy.

 First, let's convert the weights to a consistent unit. Since both pounds and ounces are units of weight, it would be easiest to convert everything to ounces: Ounce = Pound ×16

 The weight of the crate and puppy is 60 pounds, 5 ounces, which is equivalent to (60 × 16) + 5 = 965 ounces.

 The weight of the puppy is 43 pounds, 7 ounces, which is equivalent to (43 × 16) + 7 = 695 ounces.

 Now, we can subtract the weight of the puppy from the total weight:

 965 ounces - 695 ounces = 270 ounces.

 Since we want to express the weight in pounds and ounces, we can convert 270 ounces back to pounds and ounces.

 270 ounces is equivalent to 16 pounds, 14 ounces.

 Therefore, the crate alone weighs 16 pounds, 14 ounces.

A carpenter needs to cut four sections, each 3-feet 8-inches long, from a piece of molding. If the board is only sold by the foot, what’s the shortest length of board she can buy?

To determine the shortest length of board the carpenter can buy, we need to calculate the total length of board needed to cut four sections, each 3 feet 8 inches long.
 
 First, we need to convert 3 feet 8 inches to inches:
 
 3 feet x 12 inches per foot = 36 inches
 8 inches = 8 inches
 
 Total length of one section = 36 + 8 = 44 inches
 
 To cut four sections, the total length of board needed is:
 
 4 sections x 44 inches per section = 176 inches
 
 Since the board is only sold by the foot, we need to convert 176 inches to feet:
 
 176 inches ÷ 12 inches per foot = 14.67 feet
 
Therefore, the carpenter needs to buy at least 14.67 feet of board to cut four sections, each 3-feet 8-inches long. Since she can only buy whole feet of board, she will need to round up to the nearest foot. Therefore, the shortest length of board she can buy is 15 feet.
