Answer the following question.
Before work, Hayden spends 5 minutes ironing his button-up shirt and 3 minutes ironing his pants. He does this 5 days a week. How many minutes does he iron over 4 weeks?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He spends 5 minutes ironing his shirt and 3 minutes ironing his pants so that's 5 + 3 = 8 minutes. He does this every day for 5 days so that's 5 * 8 = 40 minutes. After 4 weeks, Hayden has spent 4 * 40 = 160 minutes ironing his clothes.
The answer is 160.

Answer the following question.
Karen is planning writing assignments for her fifth grade class. She knows each short-answer question takes 3 minutes to answer, each paragraph takes 15 minutes to write, and each essay takes an hour to write. If Karen assigns 2 essays and 5 paragraphs, how many short-answer questions should she assign if she wants to assign 4 hours of homework total?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First figure out how many minutes 4 hours is: 4 hours * 60 minutes / hour = 240 minutes. Then figure out how long the two essays will take by multiplying the time per essay by the number of essays: 2 essays * 1 hour / essay * 60 minutes / hour = 120 minutes. Use the same method to find the total time spent writing paragraphs: 15 minutes / paragraph * 5 paragraphs = 75 minutes. Now subtract the time spent on essays and paragraphs from the total time to find the time spent on all the short answer questions: 240 minutes - 120 minutes - 75 minutes = 45 minutes. Finally, divide the total time spent on short - answer questions by the time per question to find the number of questions: 45 minutes / 3 minutes / question = 15 questions.
The answer is 15.

Answer the following question.
Georgie is a varsity player on a football team. He can run 40 yards within 5 seconds. If he can improve his speed by forty percent, how many yards will he be able to run within 10 seconds?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The additional yard he will be able to run to after improving his speed is 40 x 40 / 100 = 16 yards. So the total yard he will be able to run to after improving his speed is 40 + 16 = 56 yards in 5 seconds. Therefore the total yards he will be able to run to within 10 seconds is 56 x 2 = 112.
The answer is 112.

Answer the following question.
Mr. John works at a shopping mall and receives a monthly income of $2000, but he spends approximately 5% of this amount on public transport to and from the mall in a month. How much will he have left after deducting his monthly transport fare from his income?
Step-by-step reasoning process: 5% of $2000 is (5 / 100) * $2000 = $100. After removing his transport fare, he will have $2000 - $100 = $1900 left.
The answer is 1900.
