Jenny overslept by half an hour and has class at 8:00 am. Usually she wakes up at 7:00 am. She takes minutes to shower and brush her teeth, minutes to dry her hair, minutes to eat breakfast, minutes to walk to school, and another minutes to talk to her friends before class starts.

Jenny's usual schedule is to wake up at 7:00 am. She then takes minutes to shower and brush her teeth, minutes to dry her hair, minutes to eat breakfast, minutes to walk to school, and another minutes to talk to her friends before class starts. This routine takes up the entire time from when she wakes up to when class begins:
If she wakes up half an hour late at 7:30 am, and skips her minute breakfast as well has her minute talk with her friends before class, she will need to take this much time to get to school:
Since she woke up at 7:30, it will be 8:05 when she gets to school, and so she will be minutes late.
Example Question #382 : Numbers And Operations
Jon buys and sells bicycles. He bought a bicycle for , which he resold for . Another bicycle, he bought for and resold for . He bought a third bicycle for but did not realize that it needed repairs. Jon had to spend on repairs and then sold it for . In dollars, how much profit did Jon make in total from selling the three bikes?
Since Jon bought the first bicycle for and resold it for , he made in profit because .
Jon bought the second bicycle for and resold it for , so he made in profit because .
Jon bought the third bicycle for and then sold it for , but because he spent on repairs, he lost . This is because
Thus, the total profit that he made is because .
Example Question #211 : Operations
What is the value of given the equations below?
The first step to solve for is to first solve for x and y.
Here, 4 should be added to each side of the equation. This results in:
Here, 2 should be subtracted from each side of the equation. This results in:
Therefore, is equal to .
Example Question #383 : Numbers And Operations
If Angela lives 5 miles east of Bill, and Joe lives 3 miles east of Bill, what is the roundtrip distance from Angela's house to Bill's house (in miles)?
If Angela lives 5 miles east of Bill, and Joe lives 3 miles east of Bill, that means that the distance between Angela and Joe will be miles.
A roundtrip will be two times 8 miles, which is equal to , which is therefore the correct answer.
Example Question #384 : Numbers And Operations
What is the sum of 4.16 and 1.4?
Write the numbers vertically as one on top of the other and add in the respective columns to get 5.56.
Example Question #385 : Numbers And Operations
What is the standard form for seven hundred thousand, nine hundred and forty-seven?
Seven hundred thousand is equal to 700,000.
Nine hundred is equal to 900.
Forty-seven is equal to 47 .
Thus, 700,947 is the correct answer.
Example Question #386 : Numbers And Operations
Find the sum of the following two fractions:
When adding two fractions, you first need to make their denominators match. Find the least common multiple of the two denominators, then convert both fractions so that they both share that denominator. The least common multiple of and is , so that will be the new denominator. Convert into by multiplying its numerator and denominator by , and convert into by multiplying its numerator and denominator by . Then add together the converted fractions. , so is the correct answer.
Example Question #386 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Evaluate the following expression:
If you’re having trouble, follow the following steps.
First, take the first two numbers and add them together.
Then, take the sum from the operation above and add it to the third number. You can repeat this process (i.e. only adding two numbers at a time, and then adding the next number to the sum) as many times as is necessary.
