Q: Betsy won 5 games of Monopoly. Helen won twice as many as Betsy and Susan won three times as many as Betsy. Between them, how many games have they won?
A: Helen won twice as many games as Betsy's 5 so Helen won 2 * 5 = 10 games. Susan won three times as many games as Betsy's 5 so Susan won 3 * 5 = 15 games. When you combine their wins, together they won 5 + 10 + 15 = 30 games total. The answer is 30.
Question: Mabel has 5 daisies in her garden, and each daisy has 8 petals. If she gives 2 daisies to her teacher, how many petals does she have on the remaining daisies in her garden?
Answer: The total number of petals Mabel has in her garden is 5 x 8 = 40 petals. The total number of petals that Mabel gives to her teacher is 2 x 8 = 16 petals. The total number of petals remaining in her garden is 40 - 16 = 24 petals. The answer is 24.
[Question]James buys pistachios for $10 per can. Each can is 5 ounces. He eats 30 ounces of pistachios every 5 days. How much does he spend on pistachios per week?
[Answer]The pistachios cost 10 / 5 = $2 per ounce. He eats 30 / 5 = 6 ounces of pistachios a day. So he spends 6 * 2 = $12 per day on pistachios. So he spends 12 * 7 = $84 per week. The answer is 84.
Q: James decides to use tannerite to blow things up to reveal his baby's gender. The explosion ignites both his neighbors' houses and attracts a police officer, who arrests James on two count of arson, one count of manufacturing explosives, and one count of domestic terrorism. If the arson counts each carry a 6-year sentence, the explosives sentence is twice as long as the total arson sentence, and the domestic terrorism charge's sentence is 20 years, how long might James spend in jail?
A: First find the total sentence length for the arson: 6 years / count * 2 counts = 12 years. Then find the total sentence length for the explosives: 12 years * 2 = 24 years. Then add each sentence to find the total sentence length: 12 years + 24 years + 20 years = 56 years. The answer is 56.
Question: There were 60 women at the party, and three-fourths of these women were married and brought their husbands with them to the party. If 3/4 of the men at the party were single, how many people attended the party?
Answer: 60 x 3 / 4 = 45 females are married which means there are also 45 married males. If 1 / 4 of the men are married, which represents 45 men, then 4 * 45 = 180 is the total number of men who attended the party. Thus, there are a total of 60 women and 180 men, or a total of 60 + 180 = 240 people at the party. The answer is 240.
Q: In a Geometry exam, Madeline got 2 mistakes which are half as many mistakes as Leo. Brent scored 25 and has 1 more mistake than Leo. What is Madeline's score?
A:
Leo got 2 x 2 = 4 mistakes. So, Brent got 4 + 1 = 5 mistakes. This means that 25 + 5 = 30 is the perfect score. Hence, Madeline got a score of 30 - 2 = 28. The answer is 28.
