Q: Wallace runs a beef jerky company. The company dries the jerky low and slow, so one batch of jerky takes all night to make. Each batch can make 10 bags of jerky. Wallace received a customer order for 60 bags of jerky. If he has 20 bags of jerky already made, how many days will it be before he can fulfill the customer’s order?
A: Wallace already has 20 bags of jerky, so he needs to make 60 - 20 = 40 bags more. He can make 10 bags per day, so he needs 40 / 10 = 4 days to fulfill the customer’s order. The answer is 4.

Q: Alex makes luxury dresses out of silk. Each dress needs 5 meters of silk and Alex has 600 meters of silk in storage. His friends also want to learn how to make these dresses so Alex gives all 5 of them 20 meters of silk each. He uses the rest to make dresses himself. How many dresses can Alex make?
A:
Alex gives his friends a total of 5 friends * 20 meters of silk = 100 meters of silk. This means he has 600 – 100 = 500 meters of silk left in storage. He can therefore make 500 meters of silk / 5 meters of silk per dress = 100 dresses. The answer is 100.
