Question: Three buckets are holding different fruits. Bucket A has 4 more pieces of fruit than bucket B while bucket B has 3 more pieces of fruit than bucket C. If bucket C has 9 pieces of fruit, how many pieces of fruit are in all 3 buckets?
Answer: Bucket B has 3 more fruits than C (which has 9 fruits) for a total of 9 + 3 = 12 fruits. Bucket A has 4 more fruits than B (which has 12 fruits) for a total of 12 + 4 = 16 fruits. All three buckets have a total of 9 + 12 + 16 = 37 fruits. The answer is 37.
[Question]In a class of 25 students, students were asked if they like French fries, burgers, or neither. 15 students said they like French fries and 10 said they like burgers, with these statistics including the responses of 6 students who said they like both French fries and burgers. How many students do not like either food?
[Answer]There are 15 - 6 = 9 students who like French fries only. There are 10 - 6 = 4 students who like burgers only. So, 9 + 4 + 6 = 19 students like either French fries, burgers, or both. Hence, 25 - 19 = 6 students do not like either fries or burgers. The answer is 6.
Q: Nancy is filling an aquarium for her fish. She fills it halfway and goes to answer the door. While she's gone, her cat knocks the aquarium over and spills half the water in it. Then Nancy comes back and triples the amount of water in the aquarium. If the aquarium is 4 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 3 feet high, how many cubic feet of water are in the aquarium?
A: First calculate the volume of the aquarium by multiplying its length, width and height: 4 ft * 6 ft * 3 ft = 72 cubic ft. Then figure out what proportion of the aquarium is full after the cat knocks it over: 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 4. Then figure out what proportion of the aquarium is full after Nancy refills it: 3 * 1 / 4 = 3 / 4. Now multiply the proportion of the aquarium that's full by the aquarium's volume to find out how much water is in it: 72 cubic ft * 3 / 4 = 54 cubic ft. The answer is 54.
Question: Jason is making a salad. The lettuce has 30 calories, the cucumber has 80 calories, and the 12 croutons have 20 calories each. How many calories are in the salad?
Answer: In total, the 12 croutons have 20 calories / crouton * 12 croutons = 240 calories. Together, the croutons, lettuce and cucumber have 240 + 30 + 80 = 350 calories. The answer is 350.
[Question]There were 600 people in the stadium when the football game started. Before the game was over, one-fourth of the boys and one-eighth of the girls left early. How many people remained to see the end of the game if there were 240 girls at the beginning of the game?
[Answer]There were 600 - 240 = 360 boys at the beginning of the game. So, 360 x 1 / 4 = 90 boys left early. And 240 x 1 / 8 = 30 girls left early. A total of 90 + 30 = 120 people left early. Therefore, 600 - 120 = 480 people remained to see the end of the game. The answer is 480.
[Question]The Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest man-made structure on earth for almost 4000 years. It is 20 feet taller than 500 feet, and 234 feet wider than it is tall. What is the sum of the height and width of the Great Pyramid of Giza in feet?
[Answer]
The height is 20 feet taller than 500 feet, or 500 + 20 = 520 feet. The structure is 234 feet wider than it is tall, or a width of 520 + 234 = 754 feet wide. Therefore, the sum of the height and width of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 520 + 754 = 1274 feet. The answer is 1274.
