[Question]There are 10 6-ounces of glasses that are only 4/5 full of water. How many ounces of water are needed to fill to the brim all those 10 glasses?
[Answer]A glass is filled with 6 x 4 / 5 = 24 / 5 ounces of water. So, 10 6 - ounces of glasses contains a total of 24 / 5 x 10 = 48 ounces of water. To fill the 10 glasses to the brim, 10 x 6 = 60 ounces of water are needed. Hence, 60 - 48 = 12 ounces of water are still needed. The answer is 12.
Q: Casey is trying to decide which employee she wants to hire. One employee works for $20 an hour. The other employee works for $22 an hour, but Casey would also get a $6/hour subsidy from the government for hiring a disabled worker. How much money per week would Casey save by hiring the cheaper employee, if they both work 40 hours per week?
A: First find the weekly cost of the first employee: $20 / hour * 40 hours / week = $800 / week. Then find the hourly cost of the second employee after the government subsidy: $22 / hour - $6 / hour = $16 / hour. Then find the weekly cost of the second employee: $16 / hour * 40 hours / week = $640 / week. Then subtract the smaller weekly cost from the bigger weekly cost to find the difference: $800 / week - $640 / week = $160 / week. The answer is 160.
Question: Louis has 5 oranges and 3 apples. Samantha has 8 oranges and 7 apples. If Marley has twice as many oranges as Louis and three times as many apples as Samantha, how many fruits in total does Marley have?
Answer: Marley has twice as many oranges as Louis (who has 5 oranges) for a total of 2 * 5 = 10 oranges. He also has thrice as many apples as Samantha (who has 7 apples) for a total of 3 * 7 = 21 apples. Marley has a total of 10 + 21 = 31 fruits. The answer is 31.
[Question]Johnny spent 3 hours working on a job that paid $7 per hour, 2 hours working on a job that paid $10 an hour, and 4 hours working on a job that paid $12 an hour. Assuming he repeats this process 5 days in a row, how much does Johnny make?
[Answer]First, we need to determine how much Johnny makes in one day. To start, we perform 3 * 7 = 21 dollars for the first job. Second, we perform 2 * 10 = 20 dollars for the second job. Third, we perform 4 * 12 = 48 dollars for the third job. Altogether, Johnny makes 21 + 20 + 48 = 89 dollars in a day. We multiply this amount by the 5 days, performing 5 * 89 = 445 dollars over 5 days. The answer is 445.
Q: Zack's number of marbles can be divided equally among three people, leaving Zack with 5. If Zack decided to give his three friends 20 marbles each and kept five, how many marbles did he initially have?
A: If Zack decided to give his three friends 20 marbles each, he gave them 3 * 20 = 60 marbles. If he kept five, Zack initially had 60 + 5 = 65 marbles. The answer is 65.
Question: Monroe made 200 granola bars for her family. She and her husband ate 80, and the rest was divided equally among her children. If each child received 20 granola bars, how many children are in the family?
Answer:
If Monroe and her husband ate 80 granola bars, then the number of granola bars the children shared is 200 - 80 = 120. Each child received 20 bars, and there were 120 granola bars, meaning there were 120 / 20 = 6 children in the family. The answer is 6.
