Question: Wendi lives on a plot of land that is 200 feet by 900 feet of grassland. She raises rabbits on her property by allowing the rabbits to graze on the grass that grows on her land. If one rabbit can eat enough grass to clear ten square yards of lawn area per day, and Wendi owns 100 rabbits, how many days would it take for Wendi's rabbits to clear all the grass off of her grassland property?
Answer: One square yard is the same as 3 feet by 3 feet, or 3 * 3 = 9 square feet. Ten square yards is 9 * 10 = 90 square feet. Therefore, 100 rabbits can clear 100 * 90 = 9,000 square feet of grassland per day. A 200 ft by 900 ft area is 200 * 900 = 180,000 square feet. Thus, 180,000 sq ft can be cleared by 100 rabbits in 180,000 / 9000 = 20 days. The answer is 20.
[Question]Benjamin is tracking how many miles he walks in a week. He walks to work and home five days a week, walks his dog twice a day every day, walks to his best friend’s house once a week, and walks to the convenience store twice a week. Work is six miles away, dog walks are two miles, his best friend’s house is one mile, and the convenience store is three miles. How many miles does Benjamin walk in a week?
[Answer]Benjamin walks 6 miles to work and 6 miles home, so he walks 6 * 2 = 12 miles to work and home. He walks to work 5 days a week, so he walks 12 * 5 = 60 miles to work and home a week. He walks his dog 2 times a day for 2 miles, so he walks 2 * 2 = 4 miles a day for his dog. He walks his dog 7 days a week, so he walks 4 * 7 = 28 miles for his dog. He walks 3 miles to the store 2 times a week, so he walks 2 * 3 = 6 miles to the store each week. Adding his weekly 1 mile to his friend’s house, Benjamin walks 60 + 28 + 6 + 1 = 95 miles in a week. The answer is 95.
Q: Jessy told eleven jokes this past Saturday, and Alan told seven jokes. If they doubled the number of jokes they told this past Saturday next Saturday, how many jokes would they have told in total together so far?
A: This past Saturday, Jessy and Alan told a total of 11 + 7 = 18 jokes together. Since Jessy told eleven jokes this past Saturday, when he doubles the number of jokes next Saturday, the number of jokes will be 2 * 11 = 22 next Saturday. At the same time, after telling seven jokes this Saturday, when he doubles the number of jokes next Saturday, Alan will tell 2 * 7 = 14 jokes. Next Saturday, they will tell 14 + 22 = 36 jokes together. In total, the number of jokes will be 36 + 18 = 54 jokes on the two Saturdays. The answer is 54.
Question: Xavier is twice as old as Yasmin is. Xavier will 30 years old in six years. What is the total of their ages now?
Answer: If in six years Xavier will be 30 years old, he is 30 - 6 = 24 years old now. If Xavier is twice as old as Yasmin, Yasmin is 24 / 2 = 12 years old. The total of their ages now is 12 + 24 = 36 years. The answer is 36.
[Question]Bobby buys two packets of candy. He eats two candies every day from Monday through Friday and takes one each during the remaining days of the week. If it takes him 3 such weeks to finish the 2 packets, how many candies are in a packet?
[Answer]He eats 2 each from Monday through Friday for a total of 2 * 5 = 10 candies. He eats 1 each every other day of the week (Saturday and Sunday) for a total of 1 * 2 = 2 candies. In a week, he consumes a total of 10 + 2 = 12 candies. Doing this for 3 weeks, he will consume 3 * 12 = 36 candies. If 2 packets contain 36 candies, then 1 contains 36 / 2 = 18 candies. The answer is 18.
