Question: Phillip wants to make pickles with the supplies he finds at home. He has 4 jars, 10 cucumbers, and 100 oz of vinegar. Each cucumber makes six pickles. Each jar can hold 12 pickles. It takes 10 ounces of vinegar per jar of pickles. When he is all done making as many pickles as he has supplies for, how many ounces of vinegar are left?
Answer: The jars allow him to make 48 pickles because 4 x 12 = 48. The cucumbers allow him to make 60 pickles because 10 x 6 = 60. The vinegar allows him to make 10 jars of pickles because 100 / 10 = 10. The vinegar is enough to make 60 pickles because 10 x 6 = 60. He can make 48 pickles because 48 < 60. He needs 4 jars to make this because 48 / 12 = 4. He needs 40 ounces of vinegar because 4 x 10 = 40. He has 60 ounces remaining because 100 - 40 = 60. The answer is 60.
[Question]There are six oranges in a fruit basket. There are two fewer apples than oranges. There are 3 times as many bananas as apples, and there are half as many peaches as bananas. How many pieces of fruit are in the fruit basket?
[Answer]There are 6 - 2 = 4 apples. There are 3 * 4 = 12 bananas. There is 1 / 2 x 12 bananas = 6 peaches. There is 6 oranges + 4 apples + 12 bananas + 6 peaches = 28 pieces of fruit. The answer is 28.
Q: Claire has 400 flowers in her garden. One hundred twenty are tulips, and the rest are roses. Eighty of the roses are white, while the rest are red. Each red rose is worth $0.75. How much will Claire earn if she can sell 1/2 of the total number of red roses?
A: Claire has 400 - 120 = 280 roses in her garden. Thus, she has 280 - 80 = 200 red roses. One - half of the red roses is equal to 1 / 2 x 200 = 100. Therefore, Claire will earn $0.75 x 100 = $75 if she can sell 1 / 2 of the total number of red roses. The answer is 75.
Question: Darius, Matt, and Marius are friends, who played table football. During all the games they played, Marius scored 3 points more than Darius, and Darius scored 5 points less than Matt. How many points did all three friends score together, if Darius scored 10 points?
Answer: If Darius scored 10 points, then Marius scored 10 + 3 = 13 points in total. Darius scored 5 points less than Matt, so Matt scored 10 + 5 = 15 points in total. So all three friends gathered 13 + 15 + 10 = 38 points. The answer is 38.
[Question]There are 350 trees in the park, 70% of which are pine trees. How many are not pine trees?
[Answer]There are 350 x 70 / 100 = 245 pine trees. Therefore, 350 - 245 = 105 trees are not pine trees. The answer is 105.
[Question]Mark has a really bad headache. He takes 2 Tylenol tablets of 500 mg each and he does every 4 hours for 12 hours. How many grams of Tylenol does he end up taking?
[Answer]
He takes 12 / 4 = 3 doses. Each dose is 500 * 2 = 1000 mg. So he takes 3 * 1000 = 3000 mg. So he takes 3000 / 1000 = 3 grams of Tylenol. The answer is 3.
