Answer this question:Joseph and his friends watched two movies in his house. The first movie is 1 hour and 30 minutes long while the second movie is 30 minutes longer than the first. Before the movies, they spent 10 minutes making popcorn and twice as long making fries. How long, in hours, did it take Joseph and his friends to cook and watch the movies?
The first movie was 60 + 30 = 90 minutes long since an hour has 60 minutes. The second movie was 90 + 30 = 120 minutes long. It took them a total of 90 + 120 = 210 minutes to watch the two movies. It took them 10 x 2 = 20 minutes to cook the fries. Thus, it took them a total of 10 + 20 = 30 minutes to cook. So, they spent 210 + 30 = 240 minutes watching the movies and cooking. In hours, this is equal to 240 / 60 = 4 hours.
The answer is 4.

Answer this question:Brennan was researching his school project and had to download files from the internet to his computer to use for reference. After downloading 800 files, he deleted 70% of them because they were not helpful. He downloaded 400 more files but again realized that 3/5 of them were irrelevant. How many valuable files was he left with after deleting the unrelated files he downloaded in the second round?
The number of non - valuable files Brennan downloaded in the first round is 70 / 100 * 800 = 560 files. The number of valuable files Brennan downloaded in the first round is 800 - 560 = 240. When he downloaded 400 new files, there were 3 / 5 * 400 = 240 non - useful files, which he deleted again. The total number of valuable files he downloaded in the second round is 400 - 240 = 160. To write his research, Brennan had 160 + 240 = 400 useful files to reference to write his research.
The answer is 400.
