Q: Ellis is going to take a road trip with her family. First, she needs to figure out how many bottles of water she should bring for everyone. There will be four people total: Ellis, her mother, her sister, and her aunt. They will be on the road to their destination for 8 hours and drive 8 hours to return home. Every hour each person will want to drink 1/2 a bottle of water. How many water bottles will Ellis' family need total?
A: Ellis and her family of 4 will be traveling for 8 hours going and 8 hours coming home = 16 hours total. Each person needs 1 / 2 a bottle of water each hour, so 1 / 2 a bottle x 16 hours = 8 bottles. There are 4 people traveling so 8 total water bottles for each person x 4 people = 32 total water bottles. The answer is 32.
Question: Jack has 42 pounds, 11 euros, and 3000 yen. If there are 2 pounds per euro and 100 yen per pound, how much does Jack have in yen?
Answer: First convert the euros to pounds: 11 euros * 2 pounds / euro = 22 pounds. Then add that amount to the amount Jack has in pounds: 22 pounds + 42 pounds = 64 pounds. Then convert the pounds to yen: 64 pounds * 100 yen / pound = 6400 yen. Then add that amount to the amount Jack has in yen: 6400 yen + 3000 yen = 9400 yen. The answer is 9400.
[Question]Martha has 20 apples. She decided to split them among her friends. Jane got 5 apples from her, and James got 2 more than Jane. How many more apples would Martha need to give away to be left with only 4 of them?
[Answer]Martha gave James 5 + 2 = 7 apples. So Martha was left with 20 - 5 - 7 = 8 apples. To be left with only 4 apples, Martha would need to give away 8 - 4 = 4 more apples. The answer is 4.
Q: The teacher assigned a minimum of 25 pages of reading for homework. Harrison read 10 more pages than assigned. Pam read 15 more pages than Harrison and Sam read twice the amount of Pam. How many pages did Sam read?
A: Harrison read 10 more than the assigned 25 pages so he read 10 + 25 = 35 pages. Pam read 15 more pages than Harrison's 35 pages so she read 15 + 35 = 50 pages. Sam read twice the amount of Pam's 50 pages so he read 2 * 50 = 100 pages. The answer is 100.
Question: Adrian has the choice between two boxes of contacts. One has 50 contacts for $25, and the other has 99 contacts for $33. He chooses the box that costs less per individual contact. How many contacts will it take to equal $1 worth in whatever box he decides to buy?
Answer: First, we need to determine the price per contact in each of the two choices. We begin by performing 50 / 25 = 2 contacts per every dollar spent on choice A. Next, we determine the price per contact of the alternate choice. We do this by performing 99 / 33 = 3 contacts for every dollar spent on choice B. Since 3>2, Adrian purchases choice B. The answer is therefore 3. The answer is 3.
Q: Beckett is 12 and is three years younger than Olaf, while Shannen is two years younger than Olaf. If Jack is five more than twice as old as Shannen, what is the sum of the ages of all 4 people?
A:
Olaf is 12 years + 3 years = 15 years old. Shannen is 15 years old - 2 years = 13 years old. Jack is 5 years + (2 * 13 years) = 31 years old. The sum of all of their ages is 12 + 15 + 13 + 31 = 71 years old. The answer is 71.
