[Question]From Sunday to Thursday, Prudence sleeps 6 hours a night. Friday and Saturday she sleeps for 9 hours a night. She also takes a 1-hour nap on Saturday and Sunday. How much sleep does she get in 4 weeks?
[Answer]5 nights a week she sleeps for 6 hours so she sleeps 5 * 6 = 30 hours. 2 nights a week she sleeps for 9 hours so she sleeps 2 * 9 = 18 hours. 2 days a week she naps for 1 hour so she sleeps 2 * 1 = 2 hours. Over 1 week she sleeps 30 + 18 + 2 = 50 hours. Over 4 weeks she sleeps 4 * 50 = 200 hours. The answer is 200.
Q: Yuri has been adopting puppies for a month now. The first week he adopted 20 puppies, the second week 2/5 times as many puppies as the first week, the third week twice the number of puppies he adopted in the second week, and the fourth week ten more puppies than he adopted on the first week. How many puppies does Yuri have now?
A: The number of adopted puppies in the second week is 2 / 5 * 20 puppies = 8 puppies. In the third week, Yuri adopted 2 * 8 puppies = 16 puppies. In the fourth week Yuri adopted ten more puppies than the third week, which totals 10 puppies + 20 puppies = 30 puppies. The total number of puppies in the four weeks is 30 puppies + 16 puppies + 8 puppies + 20 puppies = 74 puppies. The answer is 74.
Question: Quentin, Skylar, and Colten have a total of 383 chickens. Quentin has 25 more than double the chickens that Skylar has. Skylar has 4 less than triple the number of chickens that Colten has. How many chickens does Colten have?
Answer: Let x represent the number of chickens that Colten has. Skylar:3x - 4. Quentin: 25 + 2(3x - 4) = 25 + 6x - 8 = 6x + 17. Total:x + 3x - 4 + (6x + 17) = 383. 10x + 13 = 383. 10x = 370. x = 37 chickens. The answer is 37.
