[Question]Mancino is tending 3 gardens that each measure 16 feet by 5 feet. His sister, Marquita, is tilling the soil for two gardens that each measure 8 feet by 4 feet. How many square feet combined are in all their gardens?
[Answer]3 * (16 * 5) = 240 square feet. 2 * (8 * 4) = 64 square feet. 240 + 64 = 304 square feet. The gardens have a total of 304 square feet. The answer is 304.
Q: The PTA had saved $400 set aside after a fundraising event. They spent a fourth of the money on school supplies. Then they spent half of what was left on food for the faculty. How much money did they have left?

Question: Aubrie has four cards with the labels W, X, Y, Z printed on them. W is tagged with the number 200, X is tagged with half the number W is tagged with, Y is tagged with the total of X and W's tags and Z is tagged with the number 400. Calculate the total of all the tagged numbers.
Answer: If the card with the letter X has half the number the card with letter W has, it has 1 / 2 * 200 = 100. Together, cards with letters W and X have tags that total 100 + 200 = 300. If the card with the letter Y has the total of the numbers cards with letters, W and X have, then the total for cards with letters W, X, and Y is 300 + 300 = 600. Since the card with the letter Z has a tag of 200, the total of the numbers the tags have is 600 + 400 = 1000. The answer is 1000.
[Question]Luke takes a 70-minute bus to work every day. His coworker Paula takes 3/5 of this time to arrive by bus at work. If Luke takes a bike ride back home every day, 5 times slower than the bus, and Paula takes the bus back home, calculate the total amount of time, in minutes, they take traveling from home to work and back each day.
[Answer]When Luke takes the 70 - minute bus to work, his coworker Paula takes 3 / 5 * 70 = 42 minutes to travel from home to work. From work to home, Paula spends the same amount of time she spent going to work, giving a total of 42 + 42 = 84 minutes in a day traveling. From work to home, while riding the bike, Luke spends 5 * 70 = 350 minutes on the road. The total time Luke takes to travel from home to work and back is 350 + 70 = 420 minutes. Together, Luke and Paula takes 420 + 84 = 504 minutes. The answer is 504.
Q: Mary goes with her 3 children to the circus. Tickets cost $2 for adults and $1 for children. Mary pays with a $20 bill. How much change will she receive?
A: Mary's ticket costs $2 / ticket * 1 ticket = $2. Mary's children's tickets cost 3 tickets * $1 = $3. Together the tickets cost $2 + $3 = $5. After paying with a 20 - dollar bill, Mary will receive $20 - $5 = $15. The answer is 15.
Question: The sum of the ages of Jeremy, Sebastian and Sophia in three years is 150. Currently, Sebastian is 4 years older than Jeremy. If Jeremy's age is 40, calculate Sophia's age three years from now?
Answer:
The age of Jeremy three years from now will be 40 + 3 = 43 years. Since Sebastian age is four years more than Jeremy's, Sebastian is currently 40 + 4 = 44 years. In three years, Sebastian will be 44 + 3 = 47 years old. The total age of Jeremy and Sebastian in three years will be 47 + 43 = 90. If the total age of Jeremy, Sebastian and Sophia in three years is 150, then Sophia's age in three years will be 150 - 90 = 60. The answer is 60.
