Question: Jane, Kyla, and Anthony have summer jobs in a resort. Their task is to fold guests' towels. Jane can fold 3 towels in 5 minutes. Kyla can fold 5 towels in 10 minutes, and Anthony can fold 7 towels in 20 minutes. If they all fold towels together, how many towels can they fold in one hour?
Answer: There are 1 x 60 minutes = 60 minutes in 1 hour. There are 60 / 5 = 12 sets of 5 minutes in 1 hour. So, Jane can fold 3 x 12 = 36 towels in an hour. There are 60 / 10 = 6 sets of 10 minutes in 1 hour. So, Kyla can fold 5 x 6 = 30 towels in an hour. There are 60 / 20 = 3 sets of 20 minutes in 1 hour. So, Anthony can fold 7 x 3 = 21 towels in an hour. Therefore, the 3 of them can fold a total of 36 + 30 + 21 = 87 towels in 1 hour. The answer is 87.

Question: Bonny just bought her 13th pair of shoes, which is 5 less than twice as many pairs of shoes as Becky owns. Bobby has 3 times as many pairs of shoes as Becky has. How many shoes does Bobby have?
Answer: Let x be the number of pairs of shoes that Becky owns. Since 13 pairs is 5 less than twice as many pairs as Becky owns, then the relationship is 2x - 5 = 13. Adding 5 to each side of the equation, we get 2x = 18. Solving for x, we get x = 9. Since Bobby has 3 times as many pairs of shoes as Becky has, then Becky has 3 * 9 = 27 pairs of shoes. The answer is 27.
