Three penguins - Perky, Waddles, and Tux - all go to the Antarctic Amusement Park.  The new ride, called Crevasse, is very exciting.  Unfortunately, there is a weight limit of 110 pounds for the ride.  The three penguins want to ride together, but aren't sure it will be safe.
Since the scale can only hold two penguins at a time, it is hard for them to figure out the weight of all of them together.  Being very social birds, they don't want to get on the scale alone.
Here's what they found out:
Perky and Waddles together weigh 90 pounds.
Perky and Tux together weight 68 pounds.
Waddles and Tux together weigh 52 pounds.
Can they all ride Crevasse together?

Yes, they can ride the Crevasse together, since all three together weigh 105 pounds (Perky 53, Waddles 37, and Tux 15).

On her birthday in 2003, Ellie's family sat at the dinner table together. Her little sister Anne asked their father how old he was. Dad replied, "I'm 3 years younger than your mother."

Not satisfied with that answer, Anne asked Mom how old she was. "If you five children add all your ages together, you will get my age," Mom said.

Uncle Ted wanted to help Anne figure it out, but he didn't remember the children's ages, so he asked them.

Anne held up 4 fingers.
Joe said, "I'm 2 years younger than Alex."
Ellie replied, "I was born in 1985."
"I am 1 year older than Joe," said Sara.
Alex told him, "I'm half as old as Ellie."

Use the clues to find Dad's age.

Malik and Tyron are planning a party. The theme is, "Join us for a quarter-pound burger!" They spend some time trying to figure out exactly how much ground beef they will need to purchase. Malik asks, "If we buy 3 pounds of ground beef, how many quarter-pounders can we make?"
Tyron thinks a minute, answers, and then says that, for so many people -- a total of 16 guests, including the two of them -- 3 pounds won't be enough. He calculates how much they will need and Malik agrees with his calculations.

Questions:

1. Can you explain what Tyron and Malik calculated?

2. Why won't 3 pounds be enough to make quarter-pounders for 16 people?

3. Exactly how much will they need to buy?
