Q: Rick likes to separate his collection of books into various groups by genre. He has 400 books in total and proceeds to divide them into two separate equally-sized categories repeatedly until he has each book in a category with 24 other books. How many times must he break these groups into smaller groups to accomplish this?
A: Rick starts with 400 books and divides them into two categories of equal size, meaning there are two categories of 400 / 2 = 200 books. Rick repeats this process again, dividing the 200 book categories into equal halves, leaving him with 200 / 2 = 100 books in each. Rick repeats this process again, dividing the 100 book categories into equal halves, leaving him with 100 / 2 = 50 books in each. Rick repeats this process again, dividing the 50 book categories into equal halves, leaving him with 50 / 2 = 25 books in each. Since Rick is looking for categories with 25 books in each, he accomplishes this by the 4th step. The answer is 4.
Question: Talia is playing football with her friends. The park they're playing at is 5 miles from Talia's house.

Q: Adam has 50 balls. 20 balls are red, 10 are blue, and the rest are either pink or orange. If there are 3 times as many pink as orange balls, how many orange balls are there?
A:
Adam has a total of 50 balls - 20 red - 10 blue = 20 pink and orange balls combined. If we let x be the total number of orange balls, we know that 3x is the number of pink balls. Therefore, 20 balls = x + 3x = 4x. The number of orange balls, x, is 20 balls / 4 = 5 balls. The answer is 5.
