A class has 500 tables and 2/5 times as many books as the number of tables in the class are on top of each table. What's the total number of books in the class?
If there are 2/5 times as many books as the number of tables in the class on top of each table, there are 2/5*500 = <<2/5*500=200>>200 books. Since the class has 500 tables with 200 books on top of each, there are 500*200 = <<500*200=100000>>100000 books. #### 100000
The numbers \( a, b, c, \) and \( d \) are distinct positive integers chosen from 1 to 10 inclusive. What is the least possible value \(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}\) could have? A) \(\frac{2}{10}\) B) \(\frac{3}{19}\) C) \(\frac{14}{45}\) D) \(\frac{29}{90}\) E) \(\frac{25}{72}\)

There are 16 people at a dinner party. There are 40 dinner rolls available for them. Half the people eat 1 1/2 rolls each. The other half eat 1/2 a roll each. How many dinner rolls are leftover?
Half the people at the party is 16 / 2 = <<16/2=8>>8 people. 8 people at the party eat 1 1/2 rolls each, 8 x 1 1/2 = 12 dinner rolls eaten. 8 people at the party eat 1/2 a roll each, 8 x 1/2 = <<8*1/2=4>>4 dinner rolls eaten. Combined, the people at the party ate 12 + 4 = <<12+4=16>>16 dinner rolls. There were original...
