If Rayman takes 10 hours doing his workouts, half the number of hours junior takes, then Junior takes 2 * 10 = 20 hours to do his workouts in a week. Altogether, Junior and Rayman take 20 + 10 = 30 hours doing their workouts in a week. Wolverine takes 2 * 30 = 60 hours to do her workouts in a week, twice the total number of hours Rayman and Junior takes.
The answer: 60
Reverse engineering the question: In a week, Rayman works out for half the number of hours Junior takes to work out. Wolverine, their friend, works out for twice the combined total number of hours both Rayman and Junior take during their workouts. Calculate the number of hours Wolverine takes doing her workouts if Rayman does workouts for 10 hours in a week.


Reasoning and answer: Radhika was given 12 video games on Christmas and 8 video games on her birthday, so she was given 12 + 8 = 20 video games.
