Q: Rose had 10 kilograms of rice. She cooked 9/10 kilograms in the morning and 1/4 of the remaining in the evening. How many grams of rice did she have left?
A: Rose cooked 10 x 9 / 10 = 9 kilograms of rice in the morning. She had 10 - 9 = 1 kilogram of rice left then. One kilogram is equal to 1 x 1000 = 1000 grams. So, Rose cooked 1000 x 1 / 4 = 250 grams of rice in the evening. Therefore, she has 1000 - 250 = 750 grams of rice left. The answer is 750.
Question: A floral shop had a three day sale on rose bouquets. On Monday, they sold 12 bouquets. On Tuesday, they sold three times that many bouquets. On Wednesday it rained all day and they only sold a third of what they did the day before. How many bouquets did they sell during the three day sale?
Answer: On Tuesday they sold 12 * 3 = 36 bouquets. On Wednesday they only sold 36 / 3 = 12 bouquets. In total they sold 12 + 36 + 12 = 60 bouquets. The answer is 60.
[Question]A deep-sea monster rises from the waters once every hundred years to feast on a ship and sate its hunger. Over three hundred years, it has consumed 847 people. Ships have been built larger over time, so each new ship has twice as many people as the last ship. How many people were on the ship the monster ate in the first hundred years?
[Answer]Let S be the number of people on the first hundred years’ ship. The second hundred years’ ship had twice as many as the first, so it had 2S people. The third hundred years’ ship had twice as many as the second, so it had 2 * 2S = 4S people. All the ships had S + 2S + 4S = 7S = 847 people. Thus, the ship that the monster ate in the first hundred years had S = 847 / 7 = 121 people on it. The answer is 121.
