The correct answers are:
1. A machine can fill 5,400 bottles in 3 hours, so in 8 hours it can fill (5,400/3)*8 = 14,400 bottles.
2. In 4 hours, the comet travels 8,000 miles, so in 10 hours it will travel (8,000/4)*10 = 20,000 miles.
3. The cost for a year's supply of contact lenses is $300, which is less expensive than paying for 12 months at one time, which would be (12*$30) = $360.
4. Costless sells a pack of 10 tickets for $70, so the unit price is ($70/10) = $7 per ticket. Movies Unlimited sells a pack of 8 tickets for $60, so the unit price is ($60/8) = $7.50 per ticket. Therefore, Costless has the lower unit price.
5. It rained 464 inches in 2 years, so on average, in 1 year it would rain (464/2) = 232 inches.
6. Volunteers can put together 40 school-supply kits in 8 minutes, so at this rate, in 30 minutes they could put together (40/8)*30 = 150 school-supply kits.
7. The subscription to Time magazine is $24.97 for one year, so the unit price per year is $24.97. The unit price for two years is ($45.94/2) = $22.97. The unit price for three years is ($74.91/3) = $24.97. Therefore, the one-year plan is least expensive.
8. The unit price for the 48-ounce ice cream is ($4.50/48) = $0.0938 per ounce. The unit price for the 128-ounce ice cream is ($7/128) = $0.0547 per ounce. The unit price for the 64-ounce ice cream is ($3/64) = $0.0469 per ounce. Therefore, the 64-ounce size has the lower unit price.
9. An oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in 1/4 of an hour, so at this rate, in 2 hours it will cover (4/1/4)*2 = 32 square kilometers.
10. The scientist samples 200 deer in 10 square miles, so on average, in 300 square miles the scientist can expect to find (200/10)*300 = 6,000 deer.
