Q: Blake wants to spend his Friday making milkshakes for his family. He knows that he needs 4 ounces of milk and 12 ounces of ice cream for each milkshake. If he has 72 ounces of milk and 192 ounces of ice cream, how much milk will be left over when he is done?
A: He has enough milk to make 18 milkshakes because 72 / 4 = 18. He has enough ice cream to make 16 milkshakes because 192 / 12 = 16. He can only make 16 milkshakes because 16 < 18. He will use 64 ounces of milk because 16 x 4 = 64. He will have 8 ounces of milk left because 72 - 64 = 8. The answer is 8.
Question: Jerry can run from his house to his school and back in the time it takes his brother Carson to run to the school. If it takes Jerry 15 minutes to make a one-way trip from his house to his school and the school is 4 miles away, how fast does Carson run in miles per hour?
Answer: We know that Carson takes twice as long as Jerry to get to the school, so we can find the time it takes him by multiplying Jerry's time by 2: 15 minutes * 2 = 30 minutes. Then convert that time to house by dividing by 60 minutes / hour = 30 minutes / 60 minutes / hour = .5 hour. Then divide the distance Carson runs by the time it takes him to run it to find his speed: 4 miles / 0.5 hours = 8 miles / hour. The answer is 8.
[Question]Mary went to the store to buy fruit. Apples cost $1, oranges cost $2, and bananas cost $3. For every 5 fruits that customers buy, the store offers a $1 discount. Mary buys 5 apples, 3 oranges, and 2 bananas. How much will she pay?
[Answer]For 5 apples, Mary will pay 5 * 1 = 5 dollars. For 3 oranges, she will pay 3 * 2 = 6 dollars. For 2 bananas, she will pay 2 * 3 = 6 dollars. She bought 5 + 3 + 2 = 10 fruits. For 10 fruits, Mary gets a discount of 10 / 5 = 2 dollars. In total, the bill is 5 + 6 + 6 = 17 dollars. Subtracting the discount offered by the stores, Mary will pay 17 - 2 = 15 dollars. The answer is 15.
Q: A fruit stand is selling apples for $2 each. Emmy has $200 while Gerry has $100. If they want to buy apples, how many apples can Emmy and Gerry buy altogether?
A: Emmy and Gerry have a total of $200 + $100 = $300. Therefore, Emmy and Gerry can buy $300 / $2 = 150 apples altogether. The answer is 150.
Question: Michael and Thomas are selling their lego collections. They agree to split any money they earn. They sell them based on how many circles are on top. Each circle costs 1 cent. They earned $5 each after selling 100 single pieces, 45 double pieces, 50 triple pieces and a number of quadruple pieces. How many quadruple pieces did they sell?
Answer: They made $10 because 2 x 5 = 10. They made $1 off single pieces because 100 x .01 = 1. They made $.9 off double pieces because 45 x .02 = .9. They made $1.5 off triple pieces because 50 x .03 = 1.5. They earned $3.4 off the first three types because 1 + .9 + 1.5 = 3.4. They earned $6.6 off the quadruple pieces because 10 - 3.4 = 6.6. They sold 165 quadruple pieces because 6.6 / .04 = 165. The answer is 165.
Q: Donna can watch 8 episodes each day during weekdays. On each weekend day, she can watch three times the number of episodes she can watch on the weekdays. How many episodes can she watch in a week?
A:
Donna can finish a total of 8 x 5 = 40 episodes during the weekdays. Meanwhile, she can finish 8 x 3 = 24 episodes each day during the weekend. The total number of episodes she can watch every weekend is 24 x 2 = 48. Therefore, Donna can watch 40 + 48 = 88 episodes every week. The answer is 88.
