38 trees. Joe did not work the next day, but Sue planted the same number of trees that
she had planted the first day. Together Sue and Joe planted 60 trees over the two days.
What was the number of trees Joe planted? |

4) A group of scientists is duplicating cells for a science experiment. They observe that

5) Nadia and I went to the aquarium. I liked the tank with only squid and octopus. Each
squid had 10 tentacles and each octopus had 8 tentacles. It was really hard to count them
all, but I saw 46 tentacles. If my count was correct, how many octopus and how many
squid are in the tank?
