[Question]Charlotte is a dog walker and is creating a schedule for all of her clients this week. Each dog is walked separately. On Monday, she needs to walk 4 poodles and 2 Chihuahuas. On Tuesday, she walks the same amount of Chihuahuas but isn't sure how many poodles she should walk. On Wednesday, she walks 4 Labradors. It takes 2 hours to walk a poodle, 1 hour to walk a Chihuahua, and 3 hours to walk a Labrador. If she has time for a total of 32 hours spent in dog-walking this week, how many poodles can Charlotte walk on Tuesday?
[Answer]On Monday, she spends 4 poodles * 2 hours = 8 hours walking poodles. On Monday, she spends 2 Chihuahuas * 1 hour = 2 hours walking Chihuahuas. On Tuesday, she spends 2 Chihuahuas * 1 hour = 2 hours walking Chihuahuas. On Wednesday, she spends 4 Labradors * 3 hours = 12 hours walking Labradors. Over the week, this is a total of 8 + 2 + 2 + 12 = 24 hours spent dog - walking. This means she still has 32 maximum hours – 24 used hours = 8 hours available for dog - walking. Therefore, she can walk 8 hours / 2 hours per poodle = 4 poodles on Tuesday. The answer is 4.
Q: Luke takes a 70-minute bus to work every day. His coworker Paula takes 3/5 of this time to arrive by bus at work. If Luke takes a bike ride back home every day, 5 times slower than the bus, and Paula takes the bus back home, calculate the total amount of time, in minutes, they take traveling from home to work and back each day.
A: When Luke takes the 70 - minute bus to work, his coworker Paula takes 3 / 5 * 70 = 42 minutes to travel from home to work. From work to home, Paula spends the same amount of time she spent going to work, giving a total of 42 + 42 = 84 minutes in a day traveling. From work to home, while riding the bike, Luke spends 5 * 70 = 350 minutes on the road. The total time Luke takes to travel from home to work and back is 350 + 70 = 420 minutes. Together, Luke and Paula takes 420 + 84 = 504 minutes. The answer is 504.
Question: Jamie is a firefighter. One day an emergency call comes in from Mrs. Thompson, an elderly woman whose cat can't get down a 20-foot tree. The last time Jamie rescued a cat, he got it down from a 6-foot tree and had to climb 12 rungs of his ladder. How many rungs does he have to climb this time to get the cat down from the tree?
Answer: Jamie needed 12 / 6 = 2 rungs per foot of the tree to save the first cat. To climb a 20 - foot tree, Jamie needs 20 * 2 = 40 rungs. The answer is 40.
[Question]Edward the plumber is replacing a pipe in a bathroom wall. He needs to use 40 feet of copper pipe to complete the job. For every 5 feet of pipe, Edward must use one tightening bolt, and for every bolt, he uses two washers. He buys a bag of 20 washers for the job. After he completes the bathroom job, how many washers will be remaining in the bag?
[Answer]If Edward needs to use 1 bolt per every five feet of piping, then for a job requiring 40 - feet of piping, he will use 40 / 5 = 8 tightening bolts. If for every 1 bolt he uses two washers, then he will need 8 * 2 = 16 washers to complete the job. if he buys a bag containing 20 washers, and removes 16, he will have 20 - 16 = 4 washers remaining in the bag. The answer is 4.
Q: Kat decides she wants to start a boxing career. She gets a gym membership and spends 1 hour in the gym 3 times a week doing strength training. She also trained at the boxing gym 4 times a week for 1.5 hours. How many hours a week does she train?
A: She strength trains 3 * 1 = 3 hours a week. She does boxing training 4 * 1.5 = 6 hours a week. So she trains a total of 3 + 6 = 9 hours a week. The answer is 9.
