3) Jori, Tina, and Lateisha are going to be paid $80 for cleaning up Mr. Roger's neighborhood.
They each worked 5 hours except Jori who was 30 minutes late. What is Lateisha's fair share of the
money? Mr. Roger is generous and rounds up to the nearest dollar.

4) Ms. Creeley's class is doing a canned food drive. All the cans will be placed in a large
cylindrical barrel that Ally and Joe are going to decorate like a can of stew. The barrel has a radius
of 18 inches and is 3 feet high. They plan to first cover it in sheets of 9 inch by 14 inch construction
paper. The art teacher will give them the construction paper only if they tell her what is the fewest
number sheets they will need. How many sheets will they need if they cover only the sides of the
barrel? Remember they can only get whole sheets.

5) Mr. Troy is transporting bars of gold in an elevator that will hold a maximum weight of 500
pounds. He weighs 180 pounds and his cart weighs another 15 pounds. Each bar of gold weighs
about 27.4 pounds. He tries to maximize the number of bars he can take in each trip without going
over the maximum elevator weight. On this day one bar is worth $623.80. What's the value of the
gold in the elevator with Mr. Troy?
