Q: Howard is taking his kindergarten class to the museum on a school trip. He splits the class equally into 3 groups and then each of the groups goes through the museum one student at a time. If the class has 18 students in total and each student takes 4 minutes to go through the museum, then how long, in minutes, does it take each group to go through the museum?
A: As the groups are equally sized, they must each have 18 students in the class / 3 groups = 6 students in each group. So each group takes 6 students in each group * 4 minutes per each student’s trip = 24 minutes to go through the museum. The answer is 24.
Question: Leticia, Nina, and Rosalie have a total of 25 people on their dance team. If 8 people quit, but 13 new people got in, how many people are there now on the team?

[Question]The doctor told Barry to take vitamin D3 for 180 days to help protect him from infections. The pharmacy only sold vitamin D3 in bottles containing 60 capsules, with a daily serving size of 2 capsules. How many bottles would Barry need to buy to have enough servings to last for 180 days?
[Answer]If each serving size is 2 capsules, a 60 - capsule bottle of vitamin D3 would contain 60 / 2 = 30 servings. Using 30 - serving bottles, to last 180 days, it would take 180 / 30 = 6 bottles of vitamin D3. The answer is 6.
Q: Donovan Mitchell is currently averaging 26 points per game. His team has played 15 games this season. He has a goal of averaging 30 points per game for the entire 20 game season. How many points does he need to average per game to reach his goal?
A: At this point in the season, Donovan has scored 26 * 15 = 390 points. To reach his goal of 30 points per game, he would have to finish the season with a total of 30 * 20 = 600 points. For the remaining 5 games, Donovan needs to score 600 - 390 = 210 points. Therefore, he needs to average 210 / 5 = 42 points per game. The answer is 42.
Question: Porter earns $8 per day and works 5 times a week. His manager is asking him to work an extra day that promises him an extra fifty percent on top of his daily rate. How much money will he earn after a month if he renders overtime every week?
Answer: Porter's weekly earning is $8x5 = $40. Porter's monthly earning is $40x4 = $160. The extra amount he will earn when he works on his overtime is $8 x 50 / 100 = $4. So the amount he will earn on his overtime is $8 + $4 = $12. Since he will render overtime once every week, the total overtime pay he will earn in a month is $12 x 4 = $48. Therefore the total money he will earn in a week is $160 + $48 = $208. The answer is 208.
Q: Cindy tosses 5 dimes into the wishing pond. Eric flips 3 quarters into the pond. Garrick throws in 8 nickels. Ivy then drops 60 pennies in. If Eric dips his hands into the water and pulls out a quarter, how much money, in cents, did they put into the pond?
A:
Cindy puts in 10 cents x 5 = 50 cents. Eric puts in 3 x 25 cents = 75 cents. Garrick puts in 8 x 5 cents = 40 cents. Ivy puts in 60 x 1 cent = 60 cents. After Eric pulls out a quarter, he has still left in the pond, 75 - 25 = 50 cents. Together, they put into the pond, this amount of money, 50 + 50 + 40 + 60 = 200 cents. The answer is 200.
