A merchant can place 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes into a carton for shipping. In one shipment, he sent a total of 96 boxes. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship?

Can the small boxes be put inside the big boxes? Not that that helps me work out the answer.

7 x 8 = 56 + 4 x 10 = 40

Ok i found this one :O 

 

Three brothers live in a farm. They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 dollars for the wheat. How much dollars did Ben and Adam get of the sum, considering equal split of the sacks?

I can't make sense of this. They bought seeds then the bought wheat, then they get money?

I think the question is that Ben & Adam bought the wheat then sold their extra bags to Charlie until all 3 brothers have the same amount of bags each, in which case Adam gets 5(1400/40) and Ben gets 35(1400/40) so $175 and $1225 respectively.

An athlete is able to jump FOREVER. However, everytime that she jumps she gets a bit more tired, and every jump goes 1/2 as far as her prior jump. Now, for her very first jump, she goes 1/2 of a foot.

On her second jump, she goes 1/4 of a foot, and so on and so forth. The beginning of her journey is shown in the gif below.

 

How many jumps does it take for her to travel 1 foot?
