If farmer Steven can use his tractor to plow up to 10 acres of farmland per day, or use the same tractor to mow up to 12 acres of grassland per day, how long would it take him to plow his 55 acres of farmland and mow his 30 acres of grassland?
At a rate of 10 acres per day, he can plow his 55 acres of farmland in 55/10=<<55/10=5.5>>5.5 days. At a rate of 12 acres per day, he can mow his 30 acres of grassland in 30/12=2.5 days. Altogether, it would take him 5.5+2.5=<<5.5+2.5=8>>8 days to completely mow and plow his land. #### 8

There are six unicorns in the Enchanted Forest. Everywhere a unicorn steps, four flowers spring into bloom. The six unicorns are going to walk all the way across the forest side-by-side, a journey of 9 kilometers. If each unicorn moves 3 meters forward with each step, how many flowers bloom because of this trip?
First convert the total length of the journey from kilometers to meters: 9 kilometers * 1000 meters/kilometer = <<9*1000=9000>>9000 meters Then divide this by the length of one step to find the number of steps in the journey: 9000 meters / 3 meters/step = <<9000/3=3000>>3000 steps Then multiply the number of steps by t...

400 adults and 200 children go to a Broadway show. The price of an adult ticket is twice that of a child's ticket. What is the price of an adult ticket if the total amount collected is $16,000?
Let X be the price of a child ticket. So the price of an adult ticket is X*2. We know from the problem that 400*X*2 + 200*X = 16,000. After multiplying, we have 800*X+ 200*X = 16,000. Combining like terms, we have 1000* X = 16,000. Dividing both sides by 1000, we have X = $16. The price of an adult ticket is $16 * 2 = ...

The women sit in indistinguishable rocking chairs, the men on indistinguishable stools, and the child on a bench, also indistinguishable from any other benches. How many distinct ways are there to arrange the seven rocking...

Tom has a scientific calculator. Unfortunately, all keys are broken except for one row: 1, 2, 3, + and -. Tom presses a sequence of $5$ random keystrokes; at each stroke, each key is equally likely to be pressed. The calculator then evaluates the entire expression, yielding a result of $E$ . Find the expected valu...

Given an arithmetic sequence $\{a_n\}$, the sum of the first $n$ terms is denoted as $S_n$. It is known that $a_1=9$, $a_2$ is an integer, and $S_n \leqslant S_5$. The sum of the first $9$ terms of the sequence $\left\{ \frac{1}{a_na_{n+1}} \right\}$ is ______.

Darius, Matt, and Marius are friends, who played table football. During all the games they played, Marius scored 3 points more than Darius, and Darius scored 5 points less than Matt. How many points did all three friends score together, if Darius scored 10 points?
If Darius scored 10 points, then Marius scored 10 + 3 = <<10+3=13>>13 points in total. Darius scored 5 points less than Matt, so Matt scored 10 + 5 = <<10+5=15>>15 points in total. So all three friends gathered 13 + 15 + 10 = <<13+15+10=38>>38 points. #### 38
A cube-shaped container has vertices $A,$ $B,$ $C,$ and $D,$ where $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CD}$ are parallel edges of the cube, and $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BD}$ are diagonals of faces of the cube, as shown. Vertex $A$ of the cube is set on a horizontal plane $\mathcal{P}$ so that the plane of the rectangl...
