Tom hasn't been sleeping well lately. He figures he has been getting about 5 hours of sleep each weeknight and 6 hours each night on the weekend. If Tom would ideally like to get 8 hours of sleep each night on both weeknights and weekends, how many hours of sleep is Tom behind on from the last week?
Tom ideally wants to sleep 8 hours a night for 7 days, 8 x 7 = <<8*7=56>>56 hours sleep total for the week. Tom has actually only slept 5 hours each weeknight, 5 x 5 = <<5*5=25>>25 hours of sleep. Tom has only slept 6 hours each night on the weekend, 6 x 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 hours of sleep. Total, Tom has gotten 25 + 12 hours = <<25+12=37>>37 hours sleep. The difference between how many hours Tom would like to sleep, 56, and how many hours he's actually slept, 37, is 56 - 37 = <<56-37=19>>19 hours of sleep that Tom is behind on. #### 19

Janet is getting paid to moderate social media posts. She gets paid 25 cents per post she checks. If it takes her 10 seconds to check a post, how much does she earn per hour?
First find the number of seconds in an hour: 1 hour * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute = <<1*60*60=3600>>3600 seconds/hour. Then divide the total number of seconds per hour by the number of seconds it takes Janet to read one post: 3600 seconds/hour / 10 seconds/post = <<3600/10=360>>360 posts/hour. Then multiply the number of posts she checks per hour by her pay per post to find her hourly pay: $0.25/post * 360 posts/hour = $<<0.25*360=90>>90/hour. #### 90

Megan is making food for a party. She has to spend 20 minutes preparing one dish in the oven. Each dish can feed 5 people. She spends 2 hours preparing as many of these dishes as she can for the party. How many people can she feed with these dishes?
First, we need to determine the total amount of minutes available for cooking. We do this by performing 2*60=<<2*60=120>>120, as there are 60 minutes in an hour. Now that we know we have 120 minutes, we then divide the preparation time into the total amount of time by performing 120/20= <<120/20=6>>6 dishes capable of being made. Since each dish can feed 5 people, we find the total number of people fed by performing 5*6=<<5*6=30>>30 people. #### 30

Cole wants to fence his backyard on three sides. His backyard is 9 feet along the sides and 18 feet along the back. The neighbor behind him agreed to pay for half of their shared side of his fence, and the neighbor on his left agreed to pay for a third of their shared side. Fencing costs $3 per foot. How much does Cole have to pay for the fence?
Cole has to pay 3 * 9 = $<<3*9=27>>27 for one side of the side fence. For the shared left fence, he has to pay two-thirds of 27, so he has to pay 27 * 2 / 3 = $<<27*2/3=18>>18. The shared back fence will cost 3 * 18 = $<<3*18=54>>54. He has to pay for half the back fence, so it will cost 54 / 2 = $<<54/2=27>>27. Thus, Cole has to pay 18 + 27 + 27 = $<<18+27+27=72>>72 for the fence. #### 72

A woman is trying to decide whether it will be quicker to take an airplane or drive herself to a job interview. If she drives herself, the trip will take her 3 hours and 15 minutes. If she takes an airplane, she will first need to drive 10 minutes to the airport, and then wait 20 minutes to board the plane. After that, she will be on the airplane for one-third of the time it would have taken her to drive herself before landing in the destination city. Finally, it will take her an additional 10 minutes to get off the airplane and arrive at her interview site after the plane lands. Given this information, how many minutes faster is it for her to take the airplane?
First, we must convert the driving time of 3 hours and 15 minutes to minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, driving takes a total of 3*60 + 15 = <<3*60+15=195>>195 minutes. Next, the woman will be on the airplane for one-third of 195 minutes, or 195/3 = <<195/3=65>>65 minutes. Therefore, in total, the airplane trip will take the woman 10 + 20 + 65 + 10 = <<10+20+65+10=105>>105 minutes. Thus, the airplane trip is 195 - 105 = <<195-105=90>>90 minutes faster than driving herself to the interview. #### 90

A movie that's 1.5 hours long is being replayed 6 times in one movie theater each day. There is a 20-minute advertisement before the start of the movie. How long, in hours, does the movie theater operate each day?
The movie that is being replayed 6 times takes 1.5 x 6 = <<6*1.5=9>>9 hours. The advertisements before the start of the movie take 20 x 6 = <<20*6=120>>120 minutes in all. One hundred twenty minutes is equal to 120/60 = <<120/60=2>>2 hours. Thus, the movie theater operates for 9 + 2 = <<9+2=11>>11 hours each day. #### 11
