Question: John skateboarded for 10 miles and then walked another 4 miles to the park. He then skated all the way back home. How many miles has John skateboarded in total?
Answer: John traveled 10 + 4 = 14 miles to the park. His round trip would take 14 x 2 = 28 miles. If you subtract the 4 miles he walked then John traveled 28 - 4 = 24 miles. The answer is 24.
[Question]Louise is in a toy store. She already has 28 toys worth $10 each in her cart. On her way to the till she adds 20 teddy bears to the cart. If the $580 in Louise’s wallet is exactly enough to pay for all the toys, how much does each teddy bear cost?
[Answer]Initially, Louise's cart has toys worth 10 * 28 = 280 dollars. If Louise pays for the toys originally in her cart, her wallet will remain with 580 - 280 = 300 dollars. Dividing the remaining amount by the number of teddy bears gives 300 / 20 = 15 dollars. The answer is 15.
Q: The length of a red bus is four times the length of an orange car. The length of the orange car is also 3.5 times shorter than the length of a yellow bus. If the yellow bus and red bus are sitting next to each other, what length of the red bus may the yellow bus driver see if the red bus is 48 feet long?
A: If the red bus is 48 feet long, the orange car is 48 / 4 = 12 feet long. Since the length of the orange car is 3.5 times shorter than a yellow bus, the yellow bus is 3.5 * 12 = 42 feet long. If sitting next to each other, the driver of the yellow car will see 48 - 42 = 6 feet of the red bus. The answer is 6.
Question: At the height of cranberry season, there are 60000 cranberries in a bog. 40% are harvested by humans and another 20000 are eaten by elk. How many cranberries are left?
Answer: First find the total number of cranberries harvested by humans: 60000 cranberries * 40% = 24000. Then subtract the number of cranberries taken by the humans and elk to find the number remaining: 60000 cranberries - 24000 cranberries - 20000 cranberries = 16000 cranberries. The answer is 16000.
