  5. First I added 20+52+82+30 and got 184. Then I subtracted 182 from 240 and got 58.So,58 books is my answer.

  11. well shannon sphere i need to know how many days does the two mounths end in like 30 31 or 29?
    well a usual mounth is 30 so 30+30=60 and then i haveto multiply 15 by 60 and you get 900 so 900 eggs is my answer!!
    then for a 31 mounth it would be 31+31=62 and then i haveto multiply 15 by 62 and you get 930 so that is my answer for the 31 mounth!!

  14. The chicken would have laied 900 eggs. If each month is 30 days long and your chicken laied 15 eggs a day for 2 months, then you would do 30 * 15. After I did that I got 450. Then I multiplied 450 * 2 because there are 2 months. Then I got a final answer of 900.

  24. The answer to Linzey's problem is 66 graded workbooks on Thursday. Here is how I did my work, well first I know Mrs. Colcord graded 20 workbooks on monday ,52 workbooks on Tuesday,82 workbooks on Wednesday, and on Friday 30 workbooks were graded. So then it asked if Mrs. Colcord graded 240 workbooks in all how many were graded on Thursday? I added all the workbooks together and got 174 then I subtracted 174 by 240 and got 66. That is how I got my answer!(Alex Area)

  25. the answer to tim tally tables problem would be 38 pounds of cheese.My reasoning is that if monday the mouse ate 7 & 5 pounds of cheese on tuesday and wedsday, all I had to do was add those two numbers together and then subtract that from 50.When I added the two numbers together I got the number 12. Then after that, I subtracted the number 12 from 50 and got an answer of 38.
