Question: Thomas made 4 stacks of wooden blocks. The first stack was 7 blocks tall. The second stack was 3 blocks taller than the first. The third stack was 6 blocks shorter than the second stack, and the fourth stack was 10 blocks taller than the third stack. If the fifth stack has twice as many blocks as the second stack, how many blocks did Thomas use in all?
Answer: The second stack has 7 blocks + 3 blocks = 10 blocks. The third stack has 10 blocks - 6 blocks = 4 blocks. The fourth stack has 4 blocks + 10 blocks = 14 blocks. The fifth stack has 10 blocks x 2 = 20 blocks. In total there are 7 blocks + 10 blocks + 4 blocks + 14 blocks + 20 blocks = 55 blocks. The answer is 55.
[Question]If 3 crows eat 30 worms in one hour, how many worms will 5 crows eat in 2 hours?
[Answer]If 3 crows eat 30 worms in one hour, then each crow eats 30 / 3 = 10 worms per hour. 5 crows will eat 5 * 10 = 50 worms per hour. Over two hours, 5 crows will eat 2 * 50 = 100 worms. The answer is 100.
Q: Geli is committed to her 3 times a week workout. On her first day, she started doing 10 push-ups. Her fitness trainer encouraged her to add 5 more push-ups each day. How many push-ups will she do in total throughout her first week?
A: On the first day, she will do 10 push - ups. On the second day, she will do 10 + 5 = 15 push - ups. On the third day, she will do 15 + 5 = 20 push - ups. So, Geli will do a total of 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 push - ups in a week. The answer is 45.
Question: Bobby has 16 toy cars, and the number of cars he has increases by 50% every year. How many toy cars will Bobby have in three years?
Answer: In the first year, Bobby will acquire 16 * .5 = 8 new cars. After the first year, he will have a total of 16 + 8 = 24 cars. In the second year, Bobby will acquire 24 * .5 = 12 new cars. After the second year, he will have 24 + 12 = 36 cars in total. In the third year, Bobby will acquire 36 * .5 = 18 new cars. After the third year, he will have 36 + 18 = 54 cars in total. The answer is 54.
[Question]To make room for a new inventory of books, Gordon's local bookstore is offering 30% off any book that is over $22.00 and 20% off any book under $20.00. He buys several books with the following prices; $25.00, $18.00, $21.00, $35.00, $12.00 and $10.00. How much will he spend on books?
[Answer]He gets 30% off any book over $22 and he buys books that cost $25.00 and $35.00 so the total cost of these books is $25 + $35 = $60.00. At 30% off, the discount on these books is $60 * .30 = $18.00. That mean these 2 books will cost $60 - $18 = $42.00. He gets 20% off any book under $20 and he buys books for $18.00, $12.00 and $10.00 so these books together cost $18 + $12 + $10 = $40.00. at 20% off, the discount on these books is 40 * .20 = $8.00. So these 3 books will cost $40 - $8 = $32.00. He has spent $42.00 on the two most expensive books, $32.00 on the 3 cheapest books, and also bought a book for $21.00, so his total comes to $42 + $32 + $21 = $95.00. The answer is 95.
[Question]When Jane visited Iran, she visited 6 more than twice as many rehabilitation centers as Han. Han visited 2 less than twice as many rehabilitation centers as Jude did. Jude visited half fewer rehabilitation centers as Lisa did. If Lisa visited 6 rehabilitation centers, how many rehabilitation centers did they all visit assuming they are all different?
[Answer]
Jude visited 1 / 2 * 6 = 3 rehabilitation centers. Han visited 2 * 3 - 2 = 4 rehabilitation centers. Jane visited 6 + 2 * 4 = 14 rehabilitation centers. They all visited 6 + 3 + 4 + 14 = 27 rehabilitation centers. The answer is 27.
