[Question]The average number of fruits per basket in five baskets is 25. If basket A contains 15 apples, B has 30 mangoes, C has 20 peaches, D has 25 pears and E has some bananas, how many bananas are in basket E?
[Answer]Each basket contains an average of 25 fruits so the 5 baskets in all contain 25 * 5 = 125 fruits. The number of apples, mangoes, peaches and pears is 15 + 30 + 20 + 25 = 90. The remaining fruits are bananas and they are 125 - 90 = 35 in number. The answer is 35.
Q: Nate went out to do his daily exercises. In 8 seconds, he ran a distance equal to four times the length of a football field. He rested for a while, then ran 500 more meters. If the field's length is 168 meters, how far did Nate ran?
A: In the 8 seconds, Nate ran 4 * 168 = 672 meters. The total distance Nate ran is 672 + 500 = 1172 meters. The answer is 1172.
Question: A hay farmer harvested 560 bales of hay from 5 acres of grass per month last year. This year, he planted an additional 7 acres of grass. If the farmer also owns 9 horses and each horse consumes 3 bales of hay a day, how many bales of hay would the farmer have left by the end of December if he starts feeding them this year's hay beginning the first day of September?
Answer: For every acre of grass, the farmer can harvest 560 / 5 = 112 bales of hay each month. This year, the farmer has 7 + 5 = 12 acres of grass. He can expect to harvest 12 x 112 = 1344 bales of hay per month. The total hay production this year is 1344 * 12 = 16128. From September to December, the farmer would have to feed his horses for a total of 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 122 days. Each day his horse eats a total of 3 * 9 = 27 bales of hay. For the 122 days, the horses will eat a total of 27 * 122 = 3294 bales. The total number of bales remaining will be 16128 - 3294 = 12834. The answer is 12834.
[Question]Every year 20 ducks from a flock are killed but another 30 are born. The original flock size is 100 ducks. After 5 years they join with another flock of 150 ducks. How many ducks are in the combined flock?
[Answer]The original flock gains 30 - 20 = 10 ducks per year. So after 5 years they have gained 10 * 5 = 50 ducks. So the original flock has 100 + 50 = 150 ducks. So the combined flock has 150 + 150 = 300 ducks. The answer is 300.
Q: Claudia has 122 ounces of water and is filling up cups. She has 8-ounce glasses, 5-ounce glasses, and 4-ounce glasses. If she fills six 5 ounce glasses and four 8 ounce glasses, how many 4 ounce glasses can she fill with the remaining water?
A: She has used 32 ounces on 8 - ounce glasses because 4 x 8 = 32. She has used 30 ounces on the 5 - ounce glasses because 6 x 5 = 30. She has used 62 ounces in total because 32 + 30 = 62. She has 60 ounces left because 122 - 62 = 60. She can fill fifteen four - ounce glasses because 60 / 4 = 15. The answer is 15.
