Question: A town has ten neighborhoods, each having four roads passing through them. Each of the roads has 250 street lights on each opposite side. Calculate the total number of street lights on all the roads of the neighborhoods in the town.
Answer: If Each of the roads has 250 street lights on each opposite side, the total number of street lights on one road is 250 * 2 = 500. Since each neighborhood has four roads passing through it, the total number of street lights in one neighborhood is 500 * 4 = 2000 street lights. The town has ten neighborhoods, and since each neighborhood has 2000 street lights on all its roads, there are 2000 * 10 = 20000 street lights in the town. The answer is 20000.
[Question]The Dark Lord needs to transport 1200 pounds of swords to the Enchanted Forest for a battle with the elves. He has 10 squads of 8 orcs each. How many pounds of swords does each orc have to carry?
[Answer]First find how many orcs there are total by multiplying the number of orcs per squad by the number of squads: 8 orcs / squad * 10 squads = 80 orcs. Then divide the total amount of swords by the number of orcs to find the amount of swords per orc: 1200 pounds / 80 orcs = 15 pounds / orc. The answer is 15.
Q: Mary is trying to get Zoom set up for the first time. She spent 10 minutes downloading the Mac version, only to realize she needed the Windows version, which took three times as long to download. During her first call, the audio glitched twice for 4 minutes each time and the video glitched once for 6 minutes. She spent twice as long talking without glitches as with glitches. How much time did Mary spend downloading Zoom and talking total?
A: First find the time Mary spent downloading the Windows version: 10 minutes * 3 = 30 minutes. Then find the total time the audio glitches took: 4 minutes / glitch * 2 glitches = 8 minutes. Then add the video glitch time to find the total glitch time: 8 minutes + 6 minutes = 14 minutes. Then double that time to find the total glitch - free time: 14 minutes * 2 = 28 minutes. Then add the talking time to the download time to find the total time: 30 minutes + 10 minutes + 14 minutes + 28 minutes = 82 minutes. The answer is 82.
Question: Maiya has two sisters. The first sister is twice as old as Maiya. The first sister is 1 year younger than Maiya. Their average age is 5. How old is Maiya?
Answer: Their total age is 15 because 3 x 5 = 15. 15 - X - 2X - (X - 1) is equivalent to 16 = 4X. Maiya is 4 years old because 16 / 4 = 4. The answer is 4.

[Question]Janet buys 45-pound containers of cat litter for $21 each. If her cat litter box holds 15 pounds of cat litter, and she changes out the litter weekly, how much will it cost, in dollars, for her to buy enough litter to last 210 days?
[Answer]
If she changes the box weekly, then in 210 days, she will change the box 210 / 7 = 30 times. At 15 pounds of litter for every box change, she will require 30 * 15 = 450 pounds of cat litter in 210 days. If she buys 45 - pound containers, then for 450 pounds she will need to buy 450 / 45 = 10 containers of litter. At $21 per container, to buy enough cat litter for 210 days, it will cost 10 * $21 = $210. The answer is 210.
