Landscape Elementary uses 14 reams of paper ever 3 weeks. How many reams of paper do they use each week? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find the number of reams of paper used each week, divide the total number of reams used in 3 weeks by 3: 14 reams / 3 weeks = <<14/3=4.67>>4.67 reams/week
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's 4.67 reams/week. Answer: \boxed{4.67}.
Jennie is making popcorn. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of butter, 3 tablespoons of kernels, and 1 teaspoon of salt. If she uses 10 tablespoon of kernels, how much butter does she need? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
answers:
1.50
1.67
1.66
3.33
The original recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of kernels and 1/2 cup of butter. To find the ratio of tablespoons of kernels to cups of butter, divide 3 tablespoons by 1/2 cup (which is the same as 8 tablespoons): 3 tablespoons / 8 tablespoons = 0.375.
If Jennie uses 10 tablespoons of kernels, we can multiply the ratio by 10 to find how much butter she needs: 0.375 * 10 = 3.75.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, Jennie needs 3.75 cups of butter, so the answer is 3.75. None of the provided options match this answer.

The movie theater sold 345 tickets to a show. If 2/3 of the tickets sold were adult tickets, which cost $13.95 each, how much money did the theater make from the sale of children's tickets if they cost 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets? Answer with a dollar amount rounded to the nearest hundredth, placing commas in appropriate places.
The number of adult tickets sold is 2/3 * 345 tickets = 230 tickets.
Each adult ticket costs $13.95.
So, the total revenue from the sale of adult tickets is 230 tickets * $13.95/ticket = $3,208.50.
The children's tickets cost 2/3 * $13.95 = $9.30 each.
The number of children's tickets sold is 345 tickets - 230 tickets = 115 tickets.
So, the total revenue from the sale of children's tickets is 115 tickets * $9.30/ticket = $1,069.50.
Therefore, the theater made $1,069.50 from the sale of children's tickets.
Louisa purchased a new snake for $199.00. Sales tax is 7.25%. What is her total bill? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find the total bill, we need to add the price of the snake to the sales tax amount.
Sales tax is 7.25% of the price of the snake, so we calculate it by multiplying 7.25% (or 0.0725) by $199.00:
Sales tax = 0.0725 * $199.00 = $14.42
To find the total bill, we add the price of the snake to the sales tax amount:
Total bill = $199.00 + $14.42 = $213.42
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, Louisa's total bill is $213.42. Answer: \boxed{213.42}.
