A 15.6-liter container of juice is poured equally into 0.6-liter bottles. After filling the bottles, 2 extra bottles are added using the same amount per bottle. How many bottles are there now?
What is 28 bottles?
(15.6 ÷ 0.6 = 26, then +2 = 28)
Evaluate: 20 − 3 × 4 + 2
What is 10?
Evaluate: (2/3) ÷ (1/6)
What is 4?
Evaluate: 5.6 ÷ 0.8
What is 7?
A factory makes 48.6 kg of material in a day. It is packaged equally into 0.9 kg bags. Then 6 bags are removed for testing. How many bags remain?
What is 48 bags?
(48.6 ÷ 0.9 = 54 → 54 − 6 = 48)
Evaluate: (15 − 5) × (2 + 3)
What is 50?
Evaluate: (5/6) ÷ (5/12)
What is 2?
Evaluate: (4.8 ÷ 2) + 1
What is 3.4?
A runner completes 18 miles over 3 days. Each day she runs the same distance. On the last day, she runs 1.5 times her usual distance. What was her usual daily distance?
What is 4.8 miles?
(Let x = usual distance → 2x + 1.5x = 18 → 3.5x = 18 → x = 18 ÷ 3.5 = 4.8)
Evaluate: 40 ÷ (5 × 2) + 6
What is 10?
Evaluate: (3/5 ÷ 1/10) + 2
Evaluate: 4.95 ÷ 0.15
What is 33?
A company ships 72.8 pounds of goods equally into boxes that each hold 1.3 pounds. After packing, the boxes are grouped equally onto 4 pallets. Then each pallet is split evenly between 2 trucks. How many boxes go on each truck?
What is 7 boxes?
(72.8 ÷ 1.3 = 56 boxes → 56 ÷ 4 = 14 per pallet → 14 ÷ 2 = 7)
