Grace is filling her pool in the backyard with a hose that sprays 50 gallons/hour. She waited for 3 hours but the pool wasn't full, so she decides to add another hose that sprays 70 gallons/hour, and after 2 more hours the pool is full. How much water can Grace鈥檚 pool contain? | In the first 3 hours the pool gets 50 gallons/hour x 3 hours = <<50*3=150>>150 gallons
With the addition of the other hose, the pool was filling with a rate of 50 gallons/hour + 70 gallons/hour = <<50+70=120>>120 gallons/hour
In the next 2 hours with both hoses the pool gets 120 gallons/hour x 2 hours = <<120*2=240>>240 gallons
The pool's total capacity is 240 gallons + 150 gallons = <<240+150=390>>390 gallons

Tomas is hoping to run a marathon next year, which is 26.3 miles. He knows that each month he trains, he can run twice as far as the month before. If he can run 3 miles during the first month of training, how many total months before the marathon should he start training to ensure he can run far enough? | In the first month he can run 3 miles.
In the second month he can run 6 miles because 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6
In the third month he can run 12 miles because 6 x 2 = <<6*2=12>>12
In fourth month he can run 24 miles because 12 x 2 = <<12*2=24>>24
In fifth month he can run 48 miles because 24 x 2 = <<24*2=48>>48
He needs to start training 5 months ahead of time because 24 < 26.3 and 48>26.3.

If Carl can't find his lost marbles, then how many marbles is he going to put in the jar after he plays his game, from both his original marbles and the new ones? | Carl starts with 12 marbles to play with but loses 1/2, 12 / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 marbles Carl didn't lose.
Carl takes out 10 more marbles, 6 + 10 = <<6+10=16>>16 marbles.
Then Carl's mother brings him 25 new marbles to add to the 16 he has out of his jar, 25 + 16 = <<25+16=41>>41 marbles that Carl is going to put in his jar after he plays his marbles game.

A gallon of whole milk that normally costs $3 is now sold at $2. A box of cereal was sold at a discount of $1. How much will you save via discounts if you buy 3 gallons of whole milk and 5 boxes of cereal? | The discount for each gallon of whole milk is $3 - $2 = $<<3-2=1>>1.
So the discount for 3 gallons of whole milk is $1/gallon x 3 gallons = $<<1*3=3>>3.
The total discount for 5 boxes of cereal is $1/box x 5 boxes = $<<1*5=5>>5.
You will save $3 + $5 = $<<3+5=8>>8 for 3 gallons of whole milk and 5 boxes of cereal.
