Math problems

1. Cooper started kindergarten this last week. His first day was Tuesday. The first day his teacher was the same woman that greeted us for kindergarten orientation. The second day his teacher was a woman with black hair. The third day the kindergarteners had a teacher who had blonde short hair. Finally on Friday, the woman who opened the classroom door was named Mrs. Long. She had red hair. How many different teachers has Cooper had in his first week?

2. Ryan gets 17 phone calls a day. For every 5 times that Amber calls, Cameron calls twice. If Amber calls 15 times a day, how many times does Cameron call a day?


3. Bridgette and my brother Mark finally had their baby. It was born Sunday July 30 and is doing very well. They live in Oregon. It takes 2 hours to get to Oregon from Salt Lake City by plane. It takes 11.5 hours to get to Oregon from Salt Lake City by car. How many teeth grinding, gut wrenching painful minutes does Kim save herself by flying to Oregon to see the baby rather than driving?

4. Kim has started exercising again. In the last week she went to the gym 4 times. She ran on the treadmill for 40 minutes each day. She lifted weights to minimize her hips, her abdomen and her gluteous maximus 30 minutes each day. How many days do you think she can go this week?

Answers will be corrected and sent back in 1-2 business days. Good luck!
