Question: Josh has a device that automatically records the temperature in his lab every 5 seconds. To perform an analysis of environmental conditions, Josh lets the device record data for one hour. How many instances of data will the device record?
Answer: There are 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute so there are 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds in an hour. The device records data every 5 seconds so there will be 3600 / 5 = 720 instances of data in an hour. The answer is 720.
[Question]A dragon hoards jewels and gold in its cave. A jealous king snuck in and stole three prize jewels. The dragon burned him to a crisp and stole back its jewels, along with twice as many of the king’s crown jewels from his crown that melted in the dragon’s fire. The new jewels were a third of the number of jewels the dragon had owned before. How many jewels did the dragon own in the end?
[Answer]The dragon stole 2 * 3 = 6 of the king’s crown jewels. The dragon owned 6 * 3 = 18 jewels before the theft. Thus, the dragon owned 18 + 6 = 24 jewels in the end. The answer is 24.
[Question]It took an alligator named Paul 4 hours to walk from his home at the River Nile to the Nile Delta. On the return journey, Paul traveled with six other alligators, the journey taking 2 more hours than Paul took to walk to the Nile Delta, to reach their home at the River Nile. What's the combined time the alligators walked?
[Answer]
If on the return journey to its home, the alligator took 2 more hours than it took to travel to the Nile Delta, Paul took 4 + 2 = 6 hours to travel back to its home. The total time Paul took to travel from its home to the Nile Delta and back is 6 + 4 = 10. On his return journey, Paul traveled with six other alligators, and since each alligator traveled for six hours up the Nile to their home, they took a total of 6 * 6 = 36 hours to do so. Together with Paul, all the alligators took 10 + 36 = 46 hours traveling between Nile Delta and up the Nile. The answer is 46.
