Question: Ivan has a bird feeder in his yard that holds two cups of birdseed. Every week, he has to refill the emptied feeder. Each cup of birdseed can feed fourteen birds, but Ivan is constantly chasing away a hungry squirrel that steals half a cup of birdseed from the feeder every week. How many birds does Ivan’s bird feeder feed weekly?
Let's think step by step
Step 1: The squirrel steals 1/2 cup of birdseed every week, so the birds eat 2 - 1/2 = 1 1/2 cups of birdseed. Step 2: Each cup feeds 14 birds, so Ivan’s bird feeder feeds 14 * 1 1/2 = 21 birds weekly.
The answer is 21

Question: Samuel took 30 minutes to finish his homework while Sarah took 1.3 hours to finish it. How many minutes faster did Samuel finish his homework than Sarah?
Let's think step by step
Step 1: Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, then 1.3 hours is equal to 1.3 x 60 = 78 minutes. Step 2: Thus, Samuel is 78 – 30 = 48 minutes faster than Sarah.
The answer is 48

Question: Lexi wants to run a total of three and one-fourth miles. One lap on a particular outdoor track measures a quarter of a mile around. How many complete laps must she run?
Let's think step by step
Step 1: There are 3/ 1/4 = 12 one-fourth miles in 3 miles. Step 2: So, Lexi will have to run 12 (from 3 miles) + 1 (from 1/4 mile) = 13 complete laps.
The answer is 13
