Question: Hunter needs to make a square patch of land whose perimeter is twice as large as a rectangular patch of land. If the rectangular patch of land has a length of 400 feet and a width of 300 feet, calculate the length of one side of the square patch of land.
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If the rectangular patch of land measures 400 feet by 300 feet, the total length around it or its perimeter is given by 2 * 400 + 2 * 300 = 800 + 600 = 1400. The square patch's perimeter is double that length, so it's 1400 * 2 = 2800. Since the square has four equal sides, one side of the square patch of land will have a length of 2800 / 4 = 700 feet.
So the answer is 700.

Question: Two buses leave a pick-up point station with 60% and 70% of capacity full, respectively. If the people in the buses are all employees of a company, and the buses have a capacity of 150, calculate the total number of the employees in the two buses combined?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If the first bus is 60% full, it has 60 / 100 * 150 = 90 passengers. The second bus is 70% full, meaning it has 70 / 100 * 150 = 105 passengers. The total number of people in the two buses is 105 + 90 = 195.
So the answer is 195.

Question: Socorro is preparing for a math contest. She needs to train for a total of 5 hours. Each day, she answers problems about multiplication for 10 minutes and then division problems for 20 minutes. How many days will it take for her to complete her training?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Socorro trains for a total of 10 + 20 = 30 minutes each day. She needs to train for a total of 5 x 60 = 300 minutes since an hour has 60 minutes. Therefore, she will complete her training in 300 / 30 = 10 days.
So the answer is 10.

Question: Jean is a customer service rep and answered 35 phone calls on Monday. On Tuesday, she answered 46 and took 27 calls on Wednesday. On Thursday she answered 61 calls and finished off answering 31 calls on Friday. What’s the average number of calls she answers per day?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: During the week she answered 35 on Mon, 46 on Tue, 27 on Wed, 61 on Thurs and 31 on Fri for a total of 35 + 46 + 27 + 61 + 31 = 200 calls. She answered 200 calls over 5 days so on average, she answered 200 / 5 = 40 calls a day.
So the answer is 40.
