Question: The minimum age required to be employed at a company is 25 years. Dara aspires to work for the company and will be half the age of Jane in six years. If Jane is currently working for the company and is 28 years old, how long is it before Dara reaches the minimum age required by the company to be employed?
Answer: In six years, Jane will be 28 + 6 = 34 years old. Dara will be half the age of Jane in six years, meaning she will be 34 / 2 = 17 years old in six years. Currently, Dara is 17 - 6 = 11 years old. Dara has to wait for 25 - 11 = 14 more years to reach the company's minimum age of employment. The answer is 14.
[Question]Noah’s bedroom light uses 6 watts per hour. His office light is much brighter so he can see to work and uses three times as much energy. The living room light has a much larger space to cover and has to be more powerful, so it uses four times as much energy as his bedroom light. If Noah leaves all those lights on for two hours, how many watts has he used?
[Answer]Noah’s bedroom light uses 6 watts per hour, so it would use 2 * 6 = 12 watts in two hours. His office light uses 3 times as many watts as his bedroom light, so it uses 3 * 6 = 18 watts per hour. In two hours, the office light would use 18 * 2 = 36 watts. The living room light uses 4 times as many watts as his bedroom light, so it uses 4 * 6 = 24 watts per hour. In two hours, the living room light would use 24 * 2 = 48 watts. Thus, if Noah leaves all those lights on for two hours, he has used 12 + 36 + 48 = 96 watts. The answer is 96.
Q: After tests in California, the total number of Coronavirus cases was recorded as 2000 positive cases on a particular day. The number of cases increased by 500 on the second day, with 50 recoveries. On the third day, the total number of new cases spiked to 1500 with 200 recoveries. What's the total number of positive cases after the third day?
A: When 500 new cases were recorded after the tests, the total number of positive cases increased to 2000 cases + 500 cases = 2500 cases. With 50 recoveries, the total number of cases reduced to 2500 cases - 50 cases = 2450 cases. On the third day, with 1500 new cases, the total number of cases became 2450 cases + 1500 cases = 3950 cases. If 200 people recovered from the virus, the total number of people with Coronavirus became 3950 cases - 200 cases = 3750 cases. The answer is 3750.
Question: 4/5 of the Easter eggs are blue and 1/5 are purple. Half the purple eggs have five pieces of candy each, and 1/4 of the blue eggs do. The rest of the eggs only have one piece of candy. If Jerry opens one egg at random, what is the percentage chance he'll get 5 pieces of candy?
Answer: First find the probability Jerry gets a blue egg with 5 pieces of candy by multiplying the independent probabilities: 4 / 5 * 1 / 4 = 1 / 5 = 20%. Then find the probability he gets a purple egg with 5 pieces of candy the same way: 1 / 5 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 10 = 10%. Then add the probabilities of the two possible ways to get 5 pieces of candy to find the total probability: 20% + 10% = 30%. The answer is 30.
[Question]Movie tickets cost $5 each on a Monday, twice as much on a Wednesday, and five times as much as Monday on a Saturday. If Glenn goes to the movie theater on Wednesday and Saturday, how much does he spend?
[Answer]He spends 5 * 2 = $10 on Wednesday to pay for a movie ticket. He spends 5 * 5 = $25 on Saturday to pay for a movie ticket. He spends a total of 10 + 25 = $35. The answer is 35.
[Question]24 gallons per second of water flows down a waterfall. If you have an empty basin that can hold 260 gallons of water. The basin leaks water at 4 gallons per second. how long would it take to fill the basin with water from the waterfall in seconds?
[Answer]
24 gallons in minus 4 gallons out is 24 - 4 = 20 gallons per second. 260 gallons divided by 20 gallons per second 260 / 20 = 13 seconds. The answer is 13.
