[Question]Miles is going to spend 1/6 of a day reading. He will read comic books, graphic novels, and novels. He reads 21 pages an hour when he reads novels, 30 pages an hour when he reads graphic novels, and 45 pages an hour when he reads comic books. If he reads each for 1/3 of his time, how many pages does he read?
[Answer]Miles will read for 4 hours because 24 x (1 / 6) = 4. He will read each type for 1 and 1 / 3 hours because 4 / 3 = 1 and 1 / 3. He will read 28 pages of novels because 21 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 28. He will read 40 pages of graphic novels because 30 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 40. He will read 60 pages of comic books because 45 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 60. He will read 128 pages in total because 28 + 40 + 60 = 128. The answer is 128.
Q: There is three less than four times the number of students in Elementary School as there are in Middle School. If the number of students in Middle school is 50, calculate the total number of students in both levels.
A: The number of students in elementary school is three less than four times the number in middle school: 4 * 50 students = 200 students.
