Q: Davida worked 35 hours on each of Weeks 1 and 2. She worked 48 hours each of Weeks 3 and 4. How many more hours did Davida work on Weeks 3 and 4 than on Weeks 1 and 2?
A: Week 1 + Week 2 = 35 + 35 = 70 hours. Week 3 + Week 4 = 48 + 48 = 96 hours. Subtract Weeks 3 - 4 from Weeks 1 - 2 = 96 - 70 = 26. The answer is 26.
Question: Karen is a dog groomer. Rottweilers take 20 minutes to groom, border collies take 10 minutes to groom, and chihuahuas take 45 minutes to groom because they ferociously resist. How many minutes will it take Karen to groom 6 Rottweilers, 9 border collies and 1 chihuahua?
Answer: First find the total time Karen spending grooming Rottweilers: 20 minutes / Rottweiler * 6 Rottweilers = 120 minutes. Then find the total time she spends grooming border collies: 10 minutes / border collie * 9 border collies = 90 minutes. Then add the time spent grooming all three kinds of dogs to find her total grooming time: 120 minutes + 90 minutes + 45 minutes = 255 minutes. The answer is 255.
[Question]Carly is making a beaded corset. She's going to add 50 rows of purple beads with 20 beads per row, 40 rows of blue beads with 18 beads per row, and 80 gold beads. If beads cost $1 per 10 beads, how much do all the beads she bought cost?
[Answer]First find the total number of purple beads Carly needs: 50 rows * 20 beads / row = 1000 beads. Then find the total number of blue beads Carly needs: 40 rows * 18 beads / row = 720 beads. Then add the number of each color she needs to find the total number she needs: 1000 beads + 720 beads + 80 beads = 1800 beads. Then divide the number of beads by 10 to find the cost: 1800 beads / 10 beads / $1 = $180. The answer is 180.
Q: Nina has four times more math homework and eight times more reading homework than Ruby. If Ruby has six math homework and two reading homework, how much homework is Nina having altogether?
A: Nina has four times more math homework than Ruby, meaning she has 6 * 4 = 24 more math homework than Ruby. The total number of math homework that Nina has is 24 + 6 = 30. Nina also has eight times more reading homework than Ruby, a total of 8 * 2 = 16 more reading homework. In total, Nina has 16 + 2 = 18 reading homework. Altogether, Ruby has 18 + 30 = 48 homework. The answer is 48.
Question: Paul, Amoura, and Ingrid were to go to a friend's party planned to start at 8:00 a.m. Paul arrived at 8:25. Amoura arrived 30 minutes later than Paul, and Ingrid was three times later than Amoura. How late, in minutes, was Ingrid to the party?
Answer: If the party was planned to start at 8:00 am, Paul was 8:25 - 8:00 = 25 minutes late. If Paul was 25 minutes late, Amoura was 25 + 30 = 55 minutes late. If Ingrid was three times late than Amoura was, she was 3 * 55 = 165 minutes late. The answer is 165.
Q: A nail salon was completely booked at 2 pm for manicures. Each manicure costs $20.00 per client so the salon made $200.00. If there are 210 fingers in the salon at 2 pm, and everyone has 10 fingers, how many people in the salon are not clients?
A:
The salon made $200.00 and they charge $20.00 per client so there are 200 / 20 = 10 clients in the salon. There are 210 fingers in the salon and everyone has 10 fingers so there are 210 / 10 = 21 people in the salon. If there are 21 people in the salon and 10 are clients then there are 21 - 10 = 11 people in the salon that are not clients. The answer is 11.
