[Question]Mia is a student. In her final year, she spent 1/5 of her day watching TV and 1/4 of the time left on studying. How many minutes did she spend studying each day?
[Answer]If Mia spent 1 / 5 of her day watching TV, her remaining time in a day is 5 / 5 – 1 / 5 = 4 / 5 for other things. So, the time left is 24 * 4 / 5 = 19.2 hours. The time spent studying is 19.2 / 4 = 4.8 hours. In minutes, that is 4.8 * 60 = 288 minutes. The answer is 288.
Q: Ginger ended up working 8 hours outside in her garden. She kept a water bottle with her that held 2 cups of water. She drank a full bottle of every hour she was outside. She also poured an additional 5 bottles of water over the new plants she planted. How many cups of water did Ginger drink/use that day?
A: She drank 2 cups of water every hour for 8 hours so 2 * 8 = 16 cups. She poured 5 bottles of waters on her plants and each holds 2 cups so 5 * 2 = 10 cups of water. She drank 16 cups of water and used 10 cups of water so she had 16 + 10 = 26 cups of water. The answer is 26.
