Q: Lucas wants to get a dog but his parents think he already has too many pets and won't have enough space. He already has 12 pet beds in his room but manages to fit another 8 pet beds. His parents argue that each pet is going to need 2 beds each to feel comfortable. According to his parent's argument, how many pets does Lucas have enough room for?
A: Lucas has a total of 12 existing pet beds + 8 new pet beds = 20 pet beds. So according to his parents, Lucas has enough room for 20 pet beds / 2 pet beds per pet = 10 pets. The answer is 10.
Question: There are 3 kids waiting for the swings and twice as many kids waiting for the slide. If each kid waits 2 minutes for the swings and 15 seconds for the slide, how many seconds shorter is the shorter wait?
Answer: First find the total wait time for the swings in minutes: 3 kids * 2 minutes / kid = 6 minutes. Then convert that number to seconds: 6 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 360 seconds. Then find the total number of kids waiting for the slide: 3 kids * 2 = 6 kids. Then find the total wait time for the slide: 15 seconds / kid * 6 kids = 90 seconds. Then subtract the total wait for the slide from the total wait for the swings to find the difference: 360 seconds - 90 seconds = 270 seconds. The answer is 270.
[Question]Betsy is sewing a quilt. The quilt is made up of 16 squares sewn together on one side and 16 squares sewn together on the other side. Betsy has already sewn 25% of the quilt together. How many more squares does she need to sew together?
[Answer]The quilt is made of 16 squares on one side and 16 on the other so 16 + 16 = 32 squares total. She has already sewn 25% of the quilt so she has sown together .25 * 32 = 8 squares. Betsy still has 32 - 8 = 24 more squares to sew together. The answer is 24.

Question: In a dye-making process, a young lady mixes 3/5th of 20 liters of water with 5/6th of 18 liters of vinegar. How many liters of the mixture are obtained?
Answer: 3 / 5th of 20 liters of water is 20 * (3 / 5) = 12 liters. 5 / 6th of 18 liters of vinegar is 18 * (5 / 6) = 15 liters. 12 liters of water mixed with 15 liters of vinegar gives 12 + 15 = 27 - liter mixture. The answer is 27.
Q: Vivian plays 10 Spotify songs every day. Her best friend Clara plays 2 fewer songs each day. If in June they didn't play any song during the weekends only, and there were 8 weekend days in June, what's the total number of songs they both listened to in that month?
A:
June has 30 days, so if they didn't play any songs on weekends, then they played 30 days - 8 days = 22 days. If Vivian played 10 songs each day, the total number of songs she played for the month is 10 songs / day * 22 days = 220 songs. Clara played 2 fewer songs, which is 10 songs / day - 2 songs / day = 8 songs / day. The total number of songs played by Clara for the whole month is 8 songs / day * 22 days = 176 songs. The total played by both is 220 songs + 176 songs = 396 songs. The answer is 396.
