Q: Jimmy decides to make sandwiches for a picnic. He makes 8 sandwiches in total, using two slices of bread each. How many packs of bread does he need to buy to make these sandwiches, assuming he starts with no bread and each pack has 4 slices of bread in it?
A: First, we need to determine how many slices of bread Jimmy will use to make the sandwiches. We determine this by performing 8 * 2 = 16 slices of bread needed. We then divide the number of slices needed by the number of slices per bread pack, performing 16 / 4 = 4 packs of bread needed. The answer is 4.
Question: On Tuesday, Liza had $800 in her checking account. On Wednesday, she paid her rent, $450. On Thursday, she deposited her $1500 paycheck. On Friday, she paid her electricity and internet bills which were $117 and $100, respectively. Then on Saturday, she paid her phone bill, $70. How much money is left in Liza's account?
Answer: On Wednesday, Liza had $800 - $450 = $350 left in her account. After depositing on Thursday, she had $350 + $1500 = $1850 in her account. On Friday, she paid a total of $117 + $100 = $217 for her electricity and internet bills. So, $1850 - $217 = $1633 was left on her account on Friday. After paying her phone bill, Liza has $1633 - $70 = $1563 left in her account. The answer is 1563.
[Question]For a project, a builder purchased 7 boxes of bolts with each box containing 11 bolts. He purchased 3 boxes of nuts with each box containing 15 nuts. He ended up finishing the project 6 days early and with 3 bolts and 6 nuts left over. How many bolts and nuts did he use for the project?
[Answer]The builder purchased 7 boxes * 11 bolts = 77 bolts. He used 77 bolts - 3 left over = 74 bolts for the project. The builder purchased 3 boxes * 15 nuts = 45 nuts. He used 45 nuts - 6 left over = 39 nuts for the project. Total for the project he used 74 bolts + 39 nuts = 113 nuts and bolts. The answer is 113.

Question: Marla has a grid of squares that has 10 rows and 15 squares in each row. She colors 4 rows of 6 squares in the middle of the grid with red. She colors all squares on the first 2 and last 2 rows with blue. Then she colors the rest with green. How many squares does Marla color green?
Answer: There are 10 x 15 = 150 squares in a grid. 4 x 6 = 24 squares are colored red. There are 2 + 2 = 4 rows that are all blue. Thus, a total of 4 x 15 = 60 squares are colored blue. 24 + 60 = 84 squares are color red or blue. Therefore, 150 - 84 = 66 square are green. The answer is 66.
Q: Two days ago, the temperature in the morning went up 1.5 degrees every 2 hours. If the temperature was 50 degrees at 3 A.M., what was the temperature at 11 A.M.?
A:
At 5 A.M., the temperature was 50 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 51.5 degrees. At 7 A.M., the temperature was 51.5 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 53 degrees. At 9 A.M., the temperature was 53 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 54.5 degrees. At 11 A.M., the temperature was 54.5 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 56 degrees. The answer is 56.
