Question: Mike watches TV for 4 hours every day. On the days he plays video games he plays for half as long as he watches TV. If he plays video games 3 days a week how long does he spend watching TV and playing video games?
Answer: He plays video games for 4 / 2 = 2 hours a day. He watches TV for 4 * 7 = 28 hours a week. He plays video games for 3 * 2 = 6 hours. So in total he spends 6 + 28 = 34 hours on those activities. The answer is 34.

Question: John is an eccentric millionaire. He decides to fill his swimming pool with bottled water. A cubic foot of water is 25 liters. His pool is 10 feet deep and 6 feet by 20 feet. A liter of water costs $3. How much does it cost to fill the pool?
Answer: The pool is 10 * 6 * 20 = 1200 cubic feet. That means it is 25 * 1200 = 30000 liters. So it cost 3 * 30,000 = $90,000. The answer is 90000.

Question: There are 92 students altogether. Twenty of them ride the school bus home together, 5/8 of the remaining ride their own bike home, and the rest whose houses are near the school walk home. How many students are walking home?
Answer: If there are 92 students and 20 students take the bus home, the number of students who haven't taken the bus is 92 - 20 = 72 students. 5 / 8 of the students who didn't take the bus home ride bikes home, a total of 5 / 8 * 72 = 45 students. The number of students who neither took the bus nor biked home but walked home is 72 - 45 = 27. The answer is 27.
