Q: Lola’s rabbits keep having kittens each spring. During the first spring, her 10 breeding rabbits had 10 times as many kittens as the number of breeding rabbits Lola has, and half of the kittens got adopted. 5 of them had to be returned to Lola due to re-homing problems. During the next spring, her 10 breeding rabbits only had a total of 60 kittens, with 4 of the kittens being adopted. Including the breeding rabbits, how many rabbits does Lola have in her house?
A: Lola’s breeding rabbits made 10 * 10 = 100 offspring. 100 / 2 = 50 got adopted. 5 offspring came back which made Lola have 50 + 5 = 55 of them. In the next spring, 60 - 4 = 56 new offspring stayed with Lola. In total, there are 55 + 56 = 111 offspring. Including the breeding rabbits, there are 111 + 10 = 121 rabbits in total. The answer is 121.
Question: Dale owns 4 sports cars. The red one can travel at twice the speed of the green one, but the green one can travel at 8 times the speed of the blue one. The yellow one is broken and cannot move at all. If the blue one can travel at a speed of 80 miles per hour, at what speed, in miles per hour, can the red car travel?
Answer: If the blue car can travel at 80 mph, then the green one can travel at 8 * 80 = 640 mph. If the green car can travel at 640 mph, then the red can travel at 2 * 640 = 1280 mph. The answer is 1280.
[Question]John is holding a poker night with his friends and is getting the decks of cards ready before his friends show up. After losing so many cards from various decks, John thinks he needs to count exactly how many cards he has to make sure he has enough full decks for the night. Each deck of cards should hold 52 cards. He finds 3 half-full decks of cards and 3 full decks of cards. As he is arranging them, he realizes that the quality of a lot of the cards is quite poor and decides to throw 34 of the cards in the trash. How many cards does John now have?
[Answer]In the full decks, John has a total of 52 cards in a full deck of cards * 3 full decks of cards = 156 cards. A half - full deck of cards contains 52 cards in a full deck of cards / 2 = 26 cards. So from the half - full decks, John has a total of 26 cards * 3 half - full decks = 78 cards. This is a total of 156 cards from full decks + 78 cards from half - full decks = 234 cards. After throwing some in the trash, he now holds a total of 234 cards - 34 trashed cards = 200 cards. The answer is 200.
