Question: The Diving Club offers 2 beginning diving classes on weekdays and 4 beginning classes on each day of the weekend. Each class has room for 5 people. How many people can take classes in 3 weeks?
Answer: There are 2 classes x 5 days = 10 classes on weekdays. There are 4 classes x 2 days = 8 classes on weekends. There are a total of 10 + 8 = 18 classes per week. So each week, 18 x 5 = 90 people can take classes. Thus, 90 x 3 = 270 people can take classes in 3 weeks. The answer is 270.

Q: Paityn has 20 red hats and 24 blue hats. Her friend Zola has 4/5 times as many red hats as she has and twice the number of blue hats. If they combine all the hats together and share them equally between themselves, calculate the number of hats each gets.
A: Paityn has a total of 20 hats + 24 hats = 44 hats. The number of red hats that Zola has is 4 / 5 * 20 hats = 16 hats. Zola also has 2 * 24 hats = 48 blue hats. Zola has a total of 48 hats + 16 hats = 64 hats. When they combine their hats, they have 64 hats + 44 hats = 108 hats. If they share the hats equally, each get 108 hats / 2 people = 54 hats / person. The answer is 54.

[Question]Naomi is doing the wash. First she makes piles of different types, with one pile for towels, one for sheets, and one for clothes that need to be washed on the gentle cycle. The clothes take 30 minutes to wash. The towels take twice as long as the clothes to wash. The sheets take 15 minutes less time to wash than the towels. How many minutes total will it take for Naomi to wash everything?
