 6. Divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10. What is the answer? 70. (30 divided by  2 equals 15, but 30 divided by 1/2 equals 60)

Thought for the Week

“Our veterans left everything they knew and loved and served with exemplary dedication and courage so we could all know a safer America and a more just world. They have been tested in ways the rest of us may never fully understand…. On Veterans Day, and every day, let us show them the extraordinary gratitude they so rightly deserve…” ~Barack Obama, 2015 November 5th, quoted from The White House Office of the Press Secretary
