Brittany uses 1/4 ounce of shampoo to wash her hair every other day. She buys shampoo in 14-ounce bottles. How many bottles does she need to get her through a leap year? | A leap year is one day shorter than a regular year, so it is 365 – 1 = 364 days.
Brittany washes her hair every other day, so she will wash it 364 / 2 = 182 times in a leap year.
A bottle of shampoo lasts her 14 / 1 / 4 = 14 * 4 = 56 washes.
If she buys 3 bottles, she will only have enough for 56 * 3 = 168 washes.
If she buys 4 bottles, she will have enough for 56 * 4 = 224 washes.
Since 168 < 182 and 224 > 182, Brittany needs 4 bottles of shampoo to get her through a leap year.

If a basket is capable of holding 40 fruit altogether, and there are 3 times as many apples as oranges, how many oranges are there? | Since the ratio of apples to oranges is 3:1, that means for every 3 apples there is 1 orange. The size of this group is therefore 3+1=4.
We then divide this group size into the total amount of fruit the basket is holding at this time, which is 40. This means there are 40/4=10 of these groups in total.
Since there are 10 of these groups in total, that means there are 10*1=10 oranges in the basket.

Chrystal’s vehicle speed is 30 miles per hour. Ascending the mountain decreases its speed by fifty percent, and descending the mountain increases its speed by twenty percent. If the distance going to the top of the mountain is 60 miles and the distance going down to the foot of the mountain is 72 miles, how many hours will Crystal have to pass the whole mountain? | The vehicle's speed decreases to 30 x 0.50 = 15 miles per hour when ascending to the top of the mountain.
So, the total time Crystal will have to spend going to the top of the mountain is 60 / 15 = 4 hours.
And the speed of the vehicle increases by 30 x 0.20 = 6 miles per hour when going down to the foot of the mountain.

Mark was caught speeding and the judge wants to make an example out of him. The base fine for speeding is $50 but additional penalties apply in this case. The fine is increased by $2 for every mile per hour Mark was going over the speed limit. He was going 75 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone. The fine is also doubled because he was in a school zone. Finally, the judge makes Mark pay $300 in court costs and he also has to pay his lawyer $80/hour for three hours of work. How much does Mark owe for this speeding ticket? | First figure out how many miles over the speed limit Mark was going: 75 mph - 30 mph = 45 mph
Now figure out how much the per-mile fine is: $2/mph * 45 mph = $90

Samantha, Aira, and Joe received 6 rubber bands each after they divided their bands equally. If Samantha had 5 more bands than Aira and Aira had 1 fewer band than Joe, how many rubber bands did Aira have? | Samantha, Aira, and Joe have 6 x 3 = 18 rubber bands altogether.
If we let x be the number of bands that Aira had, then Samantha had x + 5.
Since Aira had 1 fewer band than Joe, then Joe had x + 1.
Since the total number of bands is 18, then the equation is x + (x + 5) + (x + 1) = 18.
By simplifying the left side of the equation, we have 3x + 6 = 18.
Putting all the constant terms on the right side gives 3x = 12.
So the value of x is 12/3 = 4. Hence, Aira had 4 rubber bands.

A mother is serving pizza at her son's birthday party. After buying 5 pizzas, she must decide how many slices to divide each pizza into so that everyone at the party ends up with an equal number of slices. There are a total of 20 children at the party, and she can choose to divide each pizza into either 6, 8, or 10 slices. Assuming she does not want to throw away any pizza, how should many slices should she choose to divide the pizzas into to make sure everyone receives an equal amount? | Checking each possibility, we can see that dividing each pizza into 6 slices yields 5*6 = 30 total slices, dividing each pizza into 8 slices yields 5*8 = 40 total slices, and dividing each pizza into 10 slices yields 5*10 = 50 total slices.
Because each child must receive the same number of slices, the total number of slices must be evenly divisible by 20.
The only option that satisfies this requirement is dividing the pizza into 8 slices, as 40/20 = 2 slices per child. Therefore, the mother should divide each pizza into 8 slices.
