[Question]While Paul watches movies, he runs on his treadmill. He can run a mile in 12 minutes. He watches two movies, which are an average length of 1.5 hours. How many miles does he run?
[Answer]He runs for 3 hours because 2 x 1.5 = 3. He runs for 180 minutes because 3 x 60 = 180. He runs 15 miles because 180 / 12 = 15. The answer is 15.

[Question]A lot of people have been sick at Gary's workplace, so he's been working a lot of extra shifts to fill in for people. As a result, he's earned some overtime (where every hour after 40 he earns 1.5 times his normal wage.) His paycheck (before taxes are taken out) came out to $696. If Gary normally earns $12 per hour, how many hours did he work that week?
[Answer]Gary earned overtime, so he worked at least 40 hours. for which he was paid 40 hours * $12 / hour = $480 at his normal wage. This means that $696 - $480 = $216 was earned at his overtime wage. His overtime wage is 1.5 his normal wage, or $12 * 1.5 = $18 per hour. So Gary worked $216 / $18 per hour = 12 hours' worth of overtime. So in total, Gary worked 40 hours + 12 hours = 52 hours that week. The answer is 52.

[Question]Jimmy and Tonya both like collecting matchbooks and stamps. Tonya and Jimmy decide to trade some stamps and matchbooks. They have each decided that one stamp is worth 12 matches. Each matchbook contains 24 matches. If Tonya arrives with 13 stamps, Jimmy has 5 matchbooks, and Jimmy trades all his matchbooks for stamps, how many stamps does Tonya have left?
[Answer]
Jimmy has 120 matches because 5 times 24 equals 120. Jimmy trades this for 10 stamps because 120 divided by 12 equals 10. Tonya has 3 stamps left because 13 minus 10 equals 3. The answer is 3.
