[Question]Anna is reading a 31-chapter textbook, but she skips all the chapters that are divisible by 3. If it takes her 20 minutes to read each chapter, how many hours does she spend reading total?
[Answer]First divide 32 by 3, ignoring the remainder, to find how many chapters in the book are divisible by 3: 31 / 3 = 10.33..., which means 10 chapters are divisible by 3. Then subtract that number from the total number of chapters to find how many chapters she reads: 31 chapters - 10 chapters = 21 chapters. Then multiply the number chapters by the time to read each chapter to find the total time she spends reading: 21 chapters * 20 minutes / chapter = 420 minutes. Then divide that time by the number of minutes per movie to find the total time spent reading in hours: 420 minutes / 60 minutes / hour = 7 hours. The answer is 7.

[Question]Michael bought 6 crates of egg on Tuesday. He gave out 2 crates to Susan, who he admires and bought another 5 crates on Thursday. If one crate holds 30 eggs, how many eggs does he have now?
[Answer]He had 6 crates and then gave out 2 so he now has 6 - 2 = 4 crates left. He bought an additional 5 crates for a total of 4 + 5 = 9 crates. Each crate has 30 eggs so he has 30 * 9 = 270 eggs. The answer is 270.
[Question]Tom reads 10 hours over 5 days. He can read 50 pages per hour. Assuming he reads the same amount every day how many pages does he read in 7 days?
[Answer]
He reads 10 / 5 = 2 hours per day. That means he reads 2 * 50 = 100 pages per day. So he reads 100 * 7 = 700 pages in 7 days. The answer is 700.
