Puzzle 1
I recently asked my friend Alex to buy me some ribbon for my child's bonnet.
Alex went to the haberdashery shop for the required length, but accidentally swapped the feet and inches.
When I measured the resulting ribbon, I only had 5/8 of the length I required.
How much ribbon did I originally ask for?
Remember that there are 12 inches in a foot.

Last week I decided to cycle to my Grandparents's house.
On the 1st day, I cycled half of the distance.
On the 2nd day, I cycled one half of the remaining distance.
On the 3rd day, I cycled three quarters of the remaining distance.
On the 4th day, I cycled 10 miles.
On the 5th day, I cycled two thirds of the remaining distance.
On the final day, I cycled the remaining 5 miles.
How far is it to my Grandparent's house?

I recently asked a friend of mine to buy me some ribbon for my latest embroidery project.
