Gumball's Great Elmore Arithmetic Adventure!

Welcome, brave math explorer! Today, we're diving into the wonderfully weird world of Elmore to sharpen our arithmetic skills with Gumball and his friends. Get ready for some wacky calculations!

Part 1: Richard's Rainbow Factory Fiasco (Multiplication)

Richard Watterson accidentally ordered WAY too many rainbow figurines for the Rainbow Factory. Let's help figure out the mess!

  • Problem 1: Richard ordered 145 boxes of rainbow figurines. If each box contains 24 figurines, how many figurines did he order in total? (Show your work!)
  • Problem 2: The delivery truck made 18 trips to deliver the boxes. If each trip cost $35 in fuel, what was the total fuel cost?

Part 2: Anais's Awesome Allowance Audit (Division)

Anais is super smart and keeps track of everyone's money (or lack thereof!). Help her figure out these situations.

  • Problem 3: Gumball and Darwin found a bag with 572 jellybeans. They decide to share them equally between themselves and Anais. How many jellybeans does each person get? Are there any left over?
  • Problem 4: Nicole gave the kids $85 to share equally for doing chores over 5 days. How much chore money did they earn together each day?

Part 3: Shopping Spree at the Elmore Mall (Decimals)

Gumball and Darwin have saved up some money (surprisingly!) and are heading to the mall. Let's track their spending.

  • Problem 5: Gumball buys a video game for $29.95 and Darwin buys a talking fish toy for $15.50. How much did they spend altogether?
  • Problem 6: They started with $50.00. After buying the items in Problem 5, how much money do they have left?

Part 4: Elmore Junior High Math Challenge!

Principal Brown has set up a final challenge. Solve these mixed problems!

  • Problem 7: The school cafeteria ordered 112 packs of juice boxes. Each pack has 12 juice boxes. How many juice boxes are there in total?
  • Problem 8: If 448 students want juice and the juice boxes are shared equally, how many juice boxes does each student get? (Use the total from Problem 7).
  • Problem 9: Penny bought art supplies costing $7.85. She paid with a $10.00 bill. How much change did she receive?
