Kitchen Conundrum

Scott is planning a Halloween party for all of the kids and parents in the 4th grade.  He has to get the decorations, food, and party favors ready for his guests.  He is expecting 145 people to attend the party.  Use the hints on the page to help Scott plan the party so that his guest have the time of their lives!

Scott has so many cookies to bake.  He can fit 24 cookies into the oven at a time.  It takes each batch 20 minutes to bake. He has two hours to bake.  How many cookies can he bake in that amount of time?



Scott wanted something to really gross out the guests so he decided to stick little marshmallows on the ends of candy sticks and dip them in melted caramel.  His mother wouldn't let him do it because she said it was too yucky to look at.  What do you think?


The party starts at five o'clock in the evening.  It is expected to last at least two hours but Scott hopes that it will last at least three hours.  He want to start the hayride at six and then have a bonfire at 9 or 8 depending on the weather.  

Scott is having three adult elephants at the party.  He has to provide water for the elephants for two days.  How many liters of water will he need?
