Q: A company is lining a 900-foot path with a fence. Every 6 feet, a fence pole is placed. The entire path is lined with a fence except for a 42-foot bridge. How many fence poles will be placed along the whole path on both sides?
A: 286
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 900 - 42 = 858 feet of path to line. There are poles every 6 feet, so the company needs 858 / 6 = 143 poles. The poles have to go on both sides of the path, so there will be 143 * 2 = 286 fence poles along the whole path.

Q: Jeff committed to run for an hour a day during weekdays. On Thursday, he cut short his run by 20 minutes but was able to jog 10 minutes more on Friday. How many minutes was he able to run for that week?
A: 290
Step-by-step reasoning process: Jeff was able to run a total of 60 x 3 = 180 minutes from Monday to Wednesday. On Thursday, Jeff ran for 60 - 20 = 40 minutes only. On Friday, he ran for 60 + 10 = 70 minutes. Therefore, Jeff ran a total of 180 + 40 + 70 = 290 minutes.
