[Question]When Michelle makes fresh pasta, she first makes the dough, then she rolls it out and cuts it, and then she hangs it on racks to dry for cooking later. She needs a drying rack for each three pounds of pasta she makes, and it takes two cups of flour to make each pound of pasta dough. She owns three racks right now. How many more drying racks will Michelle need if she makes pasta using three 8-cup bags of flour?
[Answer]Michelle used 3 * 8 = 24 cups of flour in the pasta dough. She made 24 / 2 = 12 pounds of pasta dough. She needs 12 / 3 = 4 drying racks for the pasta. Thus, Michelle needs 4 - 3 = 1 more drying rack. The answer is 1.

Question: A building has four floors with ten rooms each. Legacy has to clean each room, and it takes her 6 hours to clean one room. If she earns $15 per hour of work, calculate the total amount of money she makes from cleaning all the floors in the building.
Answer: Since the building has four floors with ten rooms each, the total number of rooms in the building is 4 * 10 = 40. If it takes Legacy 6 hours to clean each room, she will take 40 * 6 = 240 hours to clean all the rooms in the building. Since she is making $15 per hour of work, she will earn $15 * 240 = $3600 after cleaning all the rooms. The answer is 3600.
Q: Kennedy's house is 600 square feet larger than 4 times Benedict's house. If Kennedy's house is 10000 square feet, how many square feet is Benedict's house?
A:
Let the number of square feet in Benedict's house be x. So, we can write the equation 4 * x + 600 = 10000. Subtracting 600 from both sides we get 4 * x = 9400. Dividing both sides by 4 we get x = 2350 square feet. The answer is 2350.
