Question: Colin can skip at six times the speed that Brandon can. Brandon can skip at one-third the speed that Tony can. And Tony can skip at twice the speed that Bruce can. At what speed, in miles per hour, can Colin skip if Bruce skips at 1 mile per hour?
Answer: Tony can skip at twice the speed that Bruce can, for a speed of 1 * 2 = 2 miles per hour. Brandon can skip at one - third the speed that Tony can, for a speed of 2 * (1 / 3) = 2 / 3 miles per hour. Colin can skip at six times the speed that Brandon can, for a speed of (2 / 3 * 6 = 4 miles per hour). The answer is 4.
[Question]Jerry is cutting up wood for his wood-burning stove. Each pine tree makes 80 logs, each maple tree makes 60 logs, and each walnut tree makes 100 logs. If Jerry cuts up 8 pine trees, 3 maple trees, and 4 walnut trees, how many logs does he get?
[Answer]First find the total number of pine logs by multiplying the number of trees by the number of logs per tree: 80 logs / pine * 8 pines = 640 logs. Then do the same thing for the maple trees: 60 logs / maple * 3 maples = 180 logs. And do the same thing for the walnut trees: 100 logs / walnut * 4 walnuts = 400 logs. Finally, add up the number of logs from each type of tree to find the total number: 640 logs + 180 logs + 400 logs = 1220 logs. The answer is 1220.
Q: Lauren's social media channel makes $0.50 for every commercial that's viewed and $1.00 for every person who subscribes. On Tuesday, 100 people watched commercials before viewing her content and 27 people subscribed. How much money did she make?
A: She makes $0.50 for viewed commercials and 100 people watched them on Tuesday for a total of .50 * 100 = $50.00. She makes $1.00 for every person who subscribes and she had 27 people sign up so that's 1 * 27 = $27.00. Between the viewed commercials that made $50.00 and the $27.00 she made from new subscribers, she made 50 + 27 = $77.00. The answer is 77.
Question: Julio makes a mocktail every evening. He uses 1 tablespoon of lime juice and tops with 1 cup of sparkling water.  He can usually squeeze 2 tablespoons of lime juice per lime. After 30 days, if limes are 3 for $1.00, how much will he have spent on limes?
Answer: He uses 1 tablespoon of lime juice per drink so over 30 days that's 1 * 30 = 30 tablespoons of lime juice. He can get 2 tablespoons of lime juice per lime and he will use 30 tablespoons of lime juice so he will need 30 / 2 = 15 limes. The limes are 3 for $1.00 and he needs 15 limes so that's 15 / 3 = $5.00. The answer is 5.
[Question]A boat is traveling across a square lake at 10 MPH. It takes 2 hours to go across the length of the lake. It then travels the whole width of the lake at the same speed, which takes 30 minutes. How many square miles is the lake?
[Answer]The lake is 20 miles across because 2 x 10 = 20. If takes .5 hours to go from bottom to top because 30 / 60 = .5. The lake is five miles from bottom to top because 10 x .5 = 5. The square mileage is 100 because 20 x 5 = 100. The answer is 100.
[Question]Liam is teaching art to a group of 10 students. He has 20 art kits that he hands out to the students to share, 1 art kit for 2 students. From those art kits half the students make 3 artworks each and half the students make 4 artworks each. How many artistic works does the whole class create?
[Answer]
There are 10 students in Liam's art class and 1 / 2 of them make a different amount of artworks than the other half, 1 / 2 x 10 = 5 students. 5 students make 3 artworks each, 5 x 3 = 15 artworks. The other 5 students make 4 artworks each, 5 x 4 = 20 artworks. Combined, the students in the class make 15 + 20 = 35 artworks. The answer is 35.
