Problem 4
At an elementary school, the students in third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade run an average of , , and minutes per day, respectively. There are twice as many third graders as fourth graders, and twice as many fourth graders as fifth graders. What is the average number of minutes run per day by these students?
Problem 5
Last summer $30%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) of the birds living on Town Lake were geese, $25%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) were swans, $10%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) were herons, and $35%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) were ducks. What percent of the birds that were not swans were geese?
Problem 6
The players on a basketball team made some three-point shots, some two-point shots, and some one-point free throws. They scored as many points with two-point shots as with three-point shots. Their number of successful free throws was one more than their number of successful two-point shots. The team's total score was points. How many free throws did they make?
Problem 7

How many handshakes took place?
Problem 10
A pair of standard -sided dice is rolled once. The sum of the numbers rolled determines the diameter of a circle. What is the probability that the numerical value of the area of the circle is less than the numerical value of the circle's circumference?
Problem 11

Problem 12
A power boat and a raft both left dock on a river and headed downstream. The raft drifted at the speed of the river current. The power boat maintained a constant speed with respect to the river. The power boat reached dock downriver, then immediately turned and traveled back upriver. It eventually met the raft on the river 9 hours after leaving dock How many hours did it take the power boat to go from to
