Question: Max likes to collect model trains. He asks for one for every birthday of his, and asks for two each Christmas. Max always gets the gifts he asks for, and asks for these same gifts every year for 5 years. At the end of the 5 years, his parents give him double the number of trains he already has. How many trains does Max have now?
Answer: Max gets 1 + 2 = 3 trains per year. He repeats this for 5 years, meaning he gets 5 * 3 = 15 trains. When this number is doubled by his parents, it becomes 15 * 2 = 30 trains. Since he already had 15 model trains, his total becomes 15 + 30 = 45 trains. The answer is 45.
[Question]Lilah's family gallery has 400 photos. On a two-day trip to the Grand Canyon, they took half as many photos they have in the family's gallery on the first day and 120 more photos than they took on the first day on the second day. If they added all these photos to the family gallery, calculate the total number of photos in the gallery.
[Answer]On their first day to the grand canyon, the family took half as many photos as the ones they have in the gallery, meaning they took 1 / 2 * 400 = 200 photos. The total number of photos if they add the ones they took on the first day to the family's gallery is 400 + 200 = 600. On the second day, they took 120 more photos than they took on the first day, a total of 200 + 120 = 320 photos. After adding the photos they took on the second day to the galley, the number of photos will be 600 + 320 = 920. The answer is 920.
Q: Aubrey has a deck of cards with 52 cards in it. She then adds two additional cards to the deck. If she splits the deck evenly among herself and two other players, how many cards does each player have?
A: The deck has 54 cards because 52 + 2 = 54. There are three players because 1 + 2 = 3. Each player gets 18 cards because 54 / 3 = 18. The answer is 18.
Question: Jim spends 8 hours scuba diving. In that time he finds a treasure chest with 100 gold coins in it. He also finds 2 smaller bags that have half as much gold each. How much gold does he find per hour?
Answer: The smaller bags each have 100 / 2 = 50 gold coins each. So in total, they have 50 * 2 = 100 coins. So he found 100 + 100 = 200 coins. So he finds 200 / 8 = 25 coins an hour. The answer is 25.
Q: Sammy has 8 gifts to wrap. Each gift requires 1.5 meters of ribbon. Unfortunately, she has no available ribbon so Tom let her use his 15-meter long ribbon. How many meters of ribbon will be left from Tom's ribbon?
A:
