I'll solve each word problem step by step.
Problem 1: Ginger drank 1.5L of tea every day for 5 days.
- To find the total: 1.5 × 5
- 1.5 × 5 = 7.5
Problem 2: Hercules could lift 65kg, then doubled that amount.
- Double means multiply by 2
- 65 × 2 = 130
Problem 3: In a class of 37 students, 23 like basketball and the rest like football.
- To find how many like football: 37 - 23
- 37 - 23 = 14
Problem 4: Teddy's flight was at 4:20, and he arrived at 1:15. We need to find how long he waited.
- From 1:15 to 4:15 is 3 hours
- From 4:15 to 4:20 is 5 minutes
- Total waiting time: 3 hours and 5 minutes
Let me verify these calculations:
1. 1.5 × 5 = 7.5 ✓
2. 65 × 2 = 130 ✓
3. 37 - 23 = 14 ✓
4. Time from 1:15 to 4:20:
- Hours: 4 - 1 = 3 hours
- Minutes: 20 - 15 = 5 minutes
- Answer: 3 hours 5 minutes ✓
Final Answer:
1. 7.5 litres
2. 130 kg
3. 14 students
