[Question]There are 290 liters of oil in 24 cans. If 10 of the cans are holding 8 liters each, how much oil is each of the remaining cans holding?
[Answer]10 cans are holding 8 liters each for a total of 10 * 8 = 80 liters. There are 290 - 80 = 210 litres left. There are 24 - 10 = 14 cans left. Each of the remaining cans is holding 210 / 14 = 15 liters each. The answer is 15.
Q: With 40 seconds left to play in the basketball game, the Dunkinville Hornets were leading the Fredingo Fireflies by a score of 86 to 74. In the remaining seconds in the game, the Fireflies scored 7 three-point baskets while holding the Hornets to only 2 two-point baskets to win the game. How many more points did the Fireflies score in the game than did the Hornets?
A: In the final 40 seconds, the Fireflies scored seven 3 - point baskets to improve their score by 3 * 7 = 21 points. Thus, the Fireflies final total was 74 + 21 = 95 points. In the final 40 seconds, the hornets scored an additional two 2 - point baskets to improve their score by 2 * 2 = 4 points. Thus, the Hornets final total was 86 + 4 = 90 points. The final difference in points between the two teams was 95 - 90 = 5 points. The answer is 5.
Question: Zainab earns $2 an hour passing out flyers at the town square. She passes out flyers on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday each week, for 4 hours at a time. After passing out flyers for 4 weeks, how much money will Zainab earn?
Answer: Every day Zainab passes out flyers, she earns $2 x 4 = $8. If she hands out flyers for 3 days, she'll earn $8 / day * 3 days = $24. If she passes out flyers for 4 weeks, she will earn $24 * 4 = $96. The answer is 96.
[Question]Carla needs to bring water to her animals. Each horse needs twice as much water as a pig, and the chickens drink from one tank that needs 30 gallons. How many gallons of water does Carla need to bring if she has 8 pigs and 10 horses and each pig needs 3 gallons of water?
[Answer]First figure out how much water all the pigs need: 8 pigs * 3 gallons / pig = 24 gallons. Then figure out how much water one horse needs by multiplying a pig's needs by 2: 3 gallons * 2 = 6 gallons. Now find how much water all the horses need: 10 horses * 6 gallons / horse = 60 gallons. Finally, add up all the animals' water needs: 24 gallons + 60 gallons + 30 gallons = 114 gallons. The answer is 114.
