Question: A craftsman makes 16 jars. This is exactly twice the number of clay pots he made. If each jar has 5 marbles and each clay pot has three times as many, how many marbles are there?
Answer: 16 jars are exactly twice the number of clay pots made by the craftsman, meaning there are 16 / 2 = 8 clay pots. If each jar has 5 marbles, the total number of marbles in the jars is 5 * 16 = 80. Each of the clay pots also has 3 * 5 = 15 marbles. The total number of marbles in the 8 clay pots is 15 * 8 = 120. There are a total of 120 + 80 = 200 marbles. The answer is 200.
[Question]Hillary's teacher assigned 1 hour of reading during the weekend. On Friday night, Hillary read for 16 minutes. On Saturday she read for 28 minutes. How many minutes does Hillary have to read on Sunday to complete the assignment?
[Answer]Hillary needs to read for 1 hour which equals 60 minutes. Hillary has read for a total of 16 minutes + 28 = 44 minutes so far. Hillary will need to read for 60 minutes - 44 = 16 minutes on Sunday. The answer is 16.
Q: Nancy is crafting clay pots to sell. She creates 12 clay pots on Monday, twice as many on Tuesday, a few more on Wednesday, then ends the week with 50 clay pots. How many did she create on Wednesday?
A: On Tuesday, Nancy creates 12 clay pots * 2 = 24 clay plots. So she created a combined total of 12 + 24 = 36 clay pots on Monday and Tuesday. Subtracting this from the number of clay pots she ended the week with means she must have created 50 – 36 = 14 clay pots on Wednesday. The answer is 14.
Question: Jackson's mother made little pizza rolls for Jackson's birthday party. Jackson ate 10 pizza rolls and his friend Jerome ate twice that amount. Tyler at one and half times more than Jerome. How many more pizza rolls did Tyler eat than Jackson?
Answer: Jerome ate 2 times the amount of Jackson's 10 pizza rolls, so 2 * 10 = 20 pizza rolls. Tyler ate 1.5 times more than Jerome's 20 pizza rolls, so Tyler ate 1.5 * 20 = 30 pizza rolls. Tyler ate 30 pizza rolls and Jackson only ate 10 pizza rolls so Tyler ate 30 - 10 = 20 more pizza rolls. The answer is 20.
[Question]Lighters cost $1.75 each at the gas station, or $5.00 per pack of twelve on Amazon. How much would Amanda save by buying 24 lighters online instead of at the gas station?
[Answer]First find how many packs Amanda would have to buy on Amazon: 24 lighters / 12 lighters / pack = 2 packs. Then multiply that number by the cost per pack to find the total cost from Amazon: 2 packs * $5 / pack = $10. Then multiply the total number of lighters Amanda buys by the cost per lighter at the gas station: 24 lighters * $1.75 / lighter = $42. Then subtract the total Amazon cost from the total gas station cost to find the savings: $42 - $10 = $32. The answer is 32.
[Question]Stephen ordered 2 large pizzas, both cut into 12 slices. He ate 25% of the pizza. His friend Pete ate 50% of the remaining pizza. How many slices are left over?
[Answer]
He ordered 2 pizzas, each cut into 12 slices so that’s 2 * 12 = 24 slices. Stephen ate 25% of the pizza so he ate .25 * 24 = 6 slices. That leaves 24 - 6 = 18 slices. 18 slices are left and Pete eats 50% of 18 slices so he eats 18 * .50 = 9 slices. If there were 18 slices and Pete ate 9 slices then there are 18 - 9 = 9 slices left over. The answer is 9.
