1. To find how many days it will take Johnson to make 1,500 toy cars, first determine how many more cars he needs to make: 1,500 - 492 = 1,008. Then divide by the number of cars he can make per day: 1,008 ÷ 18 = 56. It will take him 56 days.
2. First, calculate the total number of people: Bill and his 3 friends make 4 people. Each person read 55 books, so total books read = 4 × 55 = 220 books. Each book has 320 pages, so total pages read = 220 × 320 = 70,400. They read 70,400 pages in total.
3. Mary made 190 cookies and wants to save 22 for her parents, so she has 190 - 22 = 168 cookies to share. She invited 14 friends, so the number of cookies per person is 168 ÷ 14 = 12. Each person at the party will get 12 cookies.
4. Eli has 624 cards to give to 12 friends. Divide the total cards by the number of friends: 624 ÷ 12 = 52. Each friend will receive 52 cards.
