Given the questions:
1. Tara walks a 2 mile route through her neighborhood for daily exercise. It takes her 30 minutes. At this rate, how far can Tara walk in 45 minutes?
Speed = distance / time ; 2 / 0.5 = 4 mph
45 minutes = 0.75 hr
Distance = speed * time = 4 * 0.75 = 3 miles
2. An infant daycare requires 1 teacher for every 4 children. How many teachers are required for 20 children?
1 teacher = 4 children
x = 20 children
x = 20/4 = 5
5 teachers
3. To make purple frosting, you start with white frosting. Then you add 2 drops of red food coloring and 3 drops of blue food coloring. If 4 red drops come out with the first squeeze, how many blue drops should you add?
2 drops of red = 3 drops of blue

6. On a map, 1 inch represents 50 miles. You measure the distance on the map between two towns as 3 inches How many miles apart are the two towns?

d = 50 * 3 = 150 miles
6. Kelsey earns $5 walking her neighbors' dogs twice a week. At this rate, how much should Kelsey cam if she walks the dogs 6 days each week?

6 times a week = (6/2) * 5 = $15
7. Jeff drove the first 200 miles of a trip in 3 hours. At this rate, how long will the 500 mile trip take, with no stops?
Rate = distance / time = 200 / 3 = 66.667mph
time = 500 /66.667 = 7.5 hours
8. Lisa types 6 pages in 36 minutes. Frank types 5 pages in 30 minutes. Do they type at the same rate?
