[Question]Albert is wondering how much pizza he can eat in one day. He buys 2 large pizzas and 2 small pizzas. A large pizza has 16 slices and a small pizza has 8 slices. If he eats it all, how many pieces does he eat that day?
[Answer]He eats 32 from the largest pizzas because 2 x 16 = 32. He eats 16 from the small pizza because 2 x 8 = 16. He eats 48 pieces because 32 + 16 = 48. The answer is 48.
Q: James has an old printer that crumples every seventh page and blurs the ink on every third page. If he prints 42 pages, how many are neither crumpled or blurred?
A: First find the total number of pages that are crumpled: 42 pages / 7 = 6 pages. Then find the total number of pages that are blurred: 42 pages / 3 = 14 pages. Then find the number of pages that are both blurred and crumpled by finding how many numbers are less or equal to 42 and divisible by both 3 and 7: there are two, 21 and 42. Then subtract the number of crumpled and blurred pages from the total number of pages, and add the number of pages that were double - counted because they were both blurred and crumpled: 42 pages - 6 pages - 14 pages + 2 pages = 24 pages. The answer is 24.
Question: Jose bought 20,000 square meters of land and needs to divide it equally with his four siblings. How much land, in the square meters, will Jose have after dividing it with his siblings?

Q: Marla is planning the lunch menu for an elementary school. There are 5 third grade classes with 30 students each, 4 fourth grade classes with 28 students each, and 4 fifth grade classes with 27 students each. Each student gets a hamburger, which costs $2.10, some carrots, which cost $0.50, and a cookie, which cost $0.20. How much does one lunch for all the students cost?
A: First find the total number of students in third grade 5 classes * 30 students / class = 150 students. Then find the total number of students in fourth grade 4 classes * 28 students / class = 112 students. Then find the total number of student in fifth grade 4 classes * 27 students / class = 108 students. Now add the number of students in each grade to find the total number of students 150 students + 112 students + 108 students = 370 students. Now find the total cost of one lunch $2.10 + $0.50 + $0.20 = $2.80. Now multiply that cost by the number of students to find the total cost for the school $2.80 / student * 370 students = $1036. The answer is 1036.
Question: Mark wants to have a water balloon fight with his friends. He goes to the store to buy balloons and sees that they sell small bags for $4, medium bags for $6 and extra large bags for $12. He has $24 and wants to get the most balloons as possible. If the $4 bags contain 50 balloons, the $6 bags contain 75 balloons and the $12 bags contain 200 balloons, what is the greatest number of balloons he can buy?
Answer:
He can buy 6 small bags because 24 / 4 = 6. These give him 300 balloons, because 6 x 50 = 300. He can buy 4 medium bags because 24 / 6 = 4. These give him 300 balloons because 4 x 75 = 300. He can buy 2 extra large bags because 24 / 12 = 2. This gives him 400 balloons because 2 x 200 = 400. 400 is the most he can buy because 400 is greater than 300. The answer is 400.
