[Question]Ezekiel hikes as a hobby. This past summer, he did a challenging three-day hike across 50 kilometers of wilderness. The first day, he covered 10 kilometers of steep mountainside. The second day was flatter and he was able to cover half the full hike distance. How many kilometers did he have to hike on the third day to finish the hike?
[Answer]After the first day, Ezekiel had 50 - 10 = 40 kilometers of the hike left. On the second day, he covered 50 / 2 = 25 kilometers. Therefore, on the third day, he had 40 - 25 = 15 kilometers left to finish the hike. The answer is 15.
Q: The ratio of fuel used in gallons to the distance covered in miles by Haley's car is 4:7. If Haley's car used 44 gallons of gas, calculate the distance it covered in miles.
A: The total ratio representing fuel consumption and distance traveled is 4 + 7 = 11. If 4 / 11, which is the fraction representing fuel consumption, represents 22 gallons of gas, then 7 / 11 representing distance covered represents 7 / 11 * 44 * 11 / 4 = 77 miles. The answer is 77.
Question: At the Bertolli Farm, they grow 2073 tomatoes, 4112 cobs of corn, and 985 onions. How many fewer onions are grown than tomatoes and corn together?

[Question]Mark is injured so decides to spend more time reading. He used to read 2 hours a day but increased that by 150%. Before he read 100 pages a day. How many pages does he read a week now?
[Answer]His reading speed is 100 / 2 = 50 pages a day. He reads 2 * 1.5 = 3 hours more now than before. So now he reads 2 + 3 = 5 hours per day. That means he reads 5 * 50 = 250 pages per day. So he reads 250 * 7 = 1750 pages a week. The answer is 1750.
[Question]On a normal day, Julia can run a mile in 10 minutes. However, today she decided to wear her new shoes to run. They were uncomfortable and slowed her mile down to 13 minutes. How much longer would it take Julia to run 5 miles in her new shoes than if she wore her old ones?
[Answer]
With her regular shoes, it should take 5 * 10 = 50 minutes to run five miles. If she wore her new shoes it would take 13 * 5 = 65 minutes to run five miles. 65 - 50 = 15 more minutes. The answer is 15.
