A: Malik = 18 * 4 = 72 yards. Josiah = 22 * 4 = 88. Darnell = 11 * 4 = 44 yards. Total yards = 72 + 88 + 44 = 204 yards. The 3 athletes ran 204 yards. The answer is 204.
Question: The government donated tons of sand to four Cities. City A received 16 1/2 tons of sand, City B received 26 tons of sand, and City C received 24 1/2 tons of sand. The supplier lost the data for City D; however, they know the total for all four cities was 95 tons. How many tons of sand did City D receive?
Answer: The total tons of sand donated to City A and City C is 16 1 / 2 + 24 1 / 2 = 41. The total tons of sand donated to City A, City B, and City C is 41 + 26 = 67. Therefore, City D received 95 - 67 = 28 tons of sand. The answer is 28.
[Question]All people named Barry are nice, while only half of the people named Kevin are nice. Three-fourths of people named Julie are nice, while 10% of people named Joe are nice. If a crowd contains 24 people named Barry, 20 people named Kevin, 80 people named Julie, and 50 people named Joe, how many nice people are in the crowd?
[Answer]If all people named Barry are nice, and the crowd contains 24 people named Barry, then 1 * 24 = 24 of these people are nice. If only half of people named Kevin are nice, and the crowd contains 20 people named Kevin, then 0.5 * 20 = 10 of these people are nice. If three - fourths of people named Julie are nice, and the crowd contains 80 people named Julie, then (3 / 4) * 80 = 60 of these people are nice. If 10% of people named Joe are nice, and the crowd contains 50 people named Joe, then 0.1 * 50 = 5 of these people are nice. In total, the crowd contains 24 + 10 + 60 + 5 = 99 people who are nice. The answer is 99.
Q: Gordon owns 3 restaurants, his first restaurant serves 20 meals, his second restaurant serves 40 meals, and his third restaurant serves 50 meals per day. How many meals do his 3 restaurants serve per week?

Q: Jessica just got her driving permit. She must complete 50 hours of driving with a parent to get her driver’s license. It takes 20 minutes to drive to school. If she drives to and from school every day, how many school days will it take Jessica to meet the 50-hour driving requirement?
A:
Jessica will drive 20 minutes, twice every school day (to and from school), so 20 minutes x 2 trips = 40 minutes each day. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 50 hours of driving x 60 minutes / hour = 3,000 minutes. If you take the 3,000 minutes she needs to drive / 40 minutes driving each day = 75 school days to drive 50 hours. The answer is 75.
