Math

The ratio of the circumference of a circle to the perimeter of a square is 2 : 1. Each side of the square measures 22 cm. What is the measure of the radius of the circle?
 My answer is 28
Perimeter of the square is 4 x 22 equal 88 cm. = 2 x 88 = 176 cm. This should be equal to 2 x 22/7 x r.
Therefore, r = 176 x 7/22 x 1/2 = 28 cm.

Bartolo Colon

Bartolo Colon is a baseball player. Colon pitches for the Yankees. I think Bartolo Colon is great pitcher, and he is very experienced.  Bartolo Colon pulled his left hamstring, yet decided to play anyway.   Thursday night, the Yankees lost 16-7.  Bartolo says he does not want to get hurt again and he doesn't like how he used to  pitch.  Bartolo Colon is one of the greatest baseball players, and I hope he feels better.  I hope the Yankees will have a better season next year.
Do you think the Yankees will go further next year?
Do you think Bartolo Colon will be good as he was?

Math

One full box of candies weighs 1.59 kg. If I take out 40 candies from the box, the weight of the box comes down to 1.47 kg. How many candies are there in the box originally? (Ignore the weight of the box that holds the candies)
My answer 530

    The weight of 40 candies must be 1.59 minus 1.47 = 0.12 kg = 120 grams. Then, each candy must weigh 3 grams, Then original weight of the box was 1.59 kg equal 1590 grams.  Number of candies equal 1590/3 equal 530 candies.
