Question: Abigail is trying a new recipe for a cold drink. It uses 1/4 of a cup of iced tea and 1 and 1/4 of a cup of lemonade to make one drink. If she fills a pitcher with 18 total cups of this drink, how many cups of lemonade are in the pitcher?
Answer: Each drink uses 1.5 cups because 1 / 4 cup + 1 and 1 / 4 cup = 1.5 cups. The pitcher contains 12 total drinks because 18 / 1.5 = 12. There are 15 cups of lemonade in the pitcher because 12 x 1 and 1 / 4 = 15. The answer is 15.
[Question]Joy fosters dogs. The mom foster dog eats 1.5 cups of food, three times a day. The puppies each eat 1/2 cup of food, twice a day. There are 5 puppies. How much food will Joy need for the next 6 days?
[Answer]The mom dog eats 1.5 cups of food * 3 = 4.5 cups per day. For 6 days the mom dog will need 6 * 4.5 cups = 27 cups of food. The puppies eat 1 / 2 cup of food * 2 = 1 cup per day. There are 5 puppies * 1 cup = 5 cups per day for the puppies. For the 6 days, the puppies will need 5 cups * 6 = 30 cups of food. Combined the dogs will need 27 cups + 30 cups = 57 cups. The answer is 57.
Q: Elsie has a specific amount of wet wipes in a container in the morning. Throughout the day, she refills the container with 10 more wipes after using up 20. By nighttime, she only has 60 wipes left. How many wipes were in the container in the morning?
A: Let w be the number of wet wipes Elsie had in the morning. Throughout the day, she used w - 20 wet wipes. Once that happened, she had to refill the container resulting in w - 20 + 10 = w - 10 wet wipes. By nighttime, she had w - 10 = 60 wipes. So then, w = 60 + 10 = 70. She started with w = 70 wipes. The answer is 70.
