Question: Adam goes to school every day. On Monday he had 6 lessons of 30 minutes each, and on Tuesday he had 3 lessons of 1 hour each. On Wednesday, Adam spent twice as much time at school as on Tuesday. How much time in total did Adam spend at school during these 3 days, in hours?
Answer: On Monday Adam had 6 * 30 = 180 minutes of lessons, which is 3 hours. On Wednesday Adam spent twice as much time at school as on Tuesday, so he spent 2 * 3 = 6 hours at school. This means that during these three days Adam spent at school 3 + 3 + 6 = 12 hours. The answer is 12.
[Question]At the Sterling Auto Store, they have 500 cars for sale. If they have 10 sales professionals, and each salesperson sells 10 cars per month, how many months will it take for them to sell all of the cars?
[Answer]If 10 sales professionals each sell 10 cars per month, then they sell a combined 10 * 10 = 100 cars per month. If the store has 500 cars, then it will take the sales team 500 / 100 = 5 months to sell all of the cars. The answer is 5.
Q: Josie and her family went on a safari and had an exciting time watching different animals grazing and playing together. She decided to count each animal she saw and calculated their total number. She counted 80 antelopes, 34 more rabbits than antelopes, 42 fewer hyenas than the total number of antelopes and rabbits combined, 50 more wild dogs than hyenas, and the number of leopards was half the number of rabbits. What the total number of animals that Josie counted?
A: The number of rabbits was 80 + 34 = 114. The total number of rabbits and antelopes is 114 + 80 = 194. The number of hyenas was 42 fewer than the combined number of antelopes and rabbits, which is 194 - 42 = 152. The number of wild dogs was 50 more than the number of hyenas, that is 152 + 50 = 202. The number of leopards is 1 / 2 * 114 = 57. The total number of animals Josie saw is 57 + 202 + 152 + 114 + 80 = 605. The answer is 605.
Question: Cynthia has four times as many water balloons as her husband, Randy. Randy has only half as many water balloons as his daughter, Janice. If Janice throws all 6 of her water balloons at her father, how many water balloons does Cynthia have, which she could also choose to throw at Randy?
Answer: Randy has only half as many water balloons as Janice’s 6, for a total of (½) * 6 = 3 water balloons. Cynthia has 4 times as many water balloons as Randy, for a total of 4 * 3 = 12 water balloons. The answer is 12.
Q: April went to a concert that has two bands. 2/3 of the audience was there for the second band and 1/3 was there for the first band. 50% of the audience there for the second band is under the age of 30. Of this group, 60% are women and there are 20 men. How many people are at the concert?
A:
Of the under - 30s there for the second band, 40% are men because 100 - 60 = 40. There are fifty under - 30s there for the second band because 20 / .4 = 50. There are 100 people there to see the second band because 50 / .5 = 100. There are 150 people at the concert because 100 / (2 / 3) = 150. The answer is 150.
