[Question]Gerald spends $100 a month on baseball supplies. His season is 4 months long. He wants to use the months he's not playing baseball to save up by raking, shoveling, and mowing lawns. He charges $10 for each. How many chores does he need to average a month to save up for his supplies?
[Answer]He needs to save up $400 because 4 x 100 = 400. He has 8 months to earn this money because 12 - 4 = 8. He needs to earn $50 a month because 400 / 8 = 50. He needs to do 5 tasks a month because 50 / 10 = 5. The answer is 5.
Q: On Sunday Trey is going to do some chores at home. First, he wants to make a To Do list and count up how many things he has to do that day and how long it should take. He has several items under 'clean the house,' 'take a shower' and then 'make dinner.' In total there are 7 things to do to clean the house; 1 thing to do to take a shower; and 4 things to do to make dinner. If everything on Trey's list takes 10 minutes to do, how many hours total will it take to complete Trey's list?
A: On Trey's list there are 7 + 1 + 4 things to do = 12 things to do in total. Each thing takes 10 minutes to do, so 10 minutes x 12 things = 120 minutes. An hour has 60 minutes in it, so 120 minutes / 60 minutes in an hour = 2 total hours it will take Trey to complete his list. The answer is 2.
Question: Trish likes to go for walks every day. One day, she goes on a 1-mile walk. Every subsequent day, she doubles the distance she walked the previous day. On what day does she walk more than 10 times further than she did on the first day?
Answer: Trish walks 1 mile on the first day, and since she walks double the previous day's amount each day that means she walks 1 * 2 = 2 miles the second day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 2 miles, meaning she walks 2 * 2 = 4 miles that day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 4 miles, meaning she walks 4 * 2 = 8 miles that day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 8 miles, meaning she walks 8 * 2 = 16 miles that day. As we're looking for the first day that her distance exceeds 10 times her original total, that means we're seeking a mile total of greater than or equal to 10 * 1 = 10 miles,. Since she accomplished this on the 5th day of walking, the answer is 5. The answer is 5.

Q: Tonya has opened a lemonade stand selling lemonade in small, medium, and large cups at $1, $2 and $3 respectively. At the close of business she ended up making $50. As she went back through her inventory she noticed that she sold $11 worth of small lemonades and $24 worth of medium lemonades. How many cups of large lemonade did Tonya sell?
A: 1. Tonya sold $11 worth of small lemonades and $24 worth of medium lemonades which makes $11 + $24 = $35 for small and medium lemonades. 2. Tonya made a total of $50. If she made $35 selling the two smaller sizes and she sold three sizes in all then $50 - $35 = $15 worth of large lemonades. 3. The large lemonades sold for $3 each and Tonya sold $15 worth of large lemonades which means she sold $15 / $3 = 5 large cups of lemonade. The answer is 5.
Question: Allison, a YouTuber, uploads 10 one-hour videos of food reviews each day to her channel. She uploaded videos halfway through June, at that pace, and then doubled the number of video hours she uploaded on the remaining days. What's the total number of video hours she has uploaded at the end of the month?
Answer:
Since June has 30 days, halfway is 1 / 2 * 30 = 15. The total number of video hours halfway through June is 10 * 15 = 150. When she doubled the number of video hours, the total per day became 10 * 2 = 20. The total number of video hours for the remaining days is 15 * 20 = 300. The total number of video hours for the whole month is 300 + 150 = 450. The answer is 450.
