Question: Sandy's goal is to drink 3 liters of water in a day. She drinks 500 milliliters of water every after 2 hours. After how many hours will she be able to drink a total of 3 liters of water?
Answer: Since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, then 3 liters is equal to 3 x 1000 = 3000 milliliters. She needs to drink 3000 / 500 = 6 sets of 500 milliliters of water. So, she will be able to drink a total of 3 liters after 6 sets x every 2 hours = 12 hours. The answer is 12.

Q: It takes Bryan 5 minutes to walk from his house to the bus station. Then he rides the bus for 20 minutes. After that, he walks 5 minutes from the bus station to his job. It takes the same amount of time in the morning and the evening. How many hours per year does Bryan spend traveling to and from work, if he works every day?
A: Bryan spends 5 + 20 + 5 = 30 minutes traveling to work. He does this twice a day, so he spends 30 * 2 = 60 minutes traveling per day. Thus, he spends 60 / 60 = 1 hour traveling to and from work every day. Thus, he spends 1 hour * 365 days = 365 hours traveling per year. The answer is 365.
Question: Tamia is making dinner. She is using 5 bell peppers to make her meal. She likes to have a variety of sizes so some will melt and some will be thick enough to eat whole. First she cuts each bell pepper into 20 large slices. Then she takes half those slices and cuts them into 3 smaller pieces each. How many slices and pieces of bell pepper total is Tamia going to add to her meal?
Answer: First, Tamia cuts the 5 bell peppers into 20 slices each, 5 x 20 = 100 slices. Then, she takes 1 / 2 of those to cut into smaller pieces, 100 / 2 = 50 slices to cut smaller. Tamia takes each of those 50 slices and cuts them into 3 pieces each, 50 x 3 = 150. Tamia is adding 50 slices + 150 smaller pieces = 200 pieces of bell pepper added to her meal. The answer is 200.
