[Question]The cost of a slice of cake is three-fourths of the cost of a cup of milk tea. If the milk tea costs $2.40, how much do 2 slices of cake and 1 cup of milk tea cost?
[Answer]The cost of a slice of cake is $2.40 x 3 / 4 = $1.80. So, 2 slices of cake cost $1.80 x 2 = $3.60. Therefore, 2 slices of cake and 1 cup of milk tea cost $3.60 + $2.40 = $6. The answer is 6.
Q: Before James starts the strength phase training of his cycle he has a powerlifting total of 2200 pounds at a bodyweight of 245 pounds. He manages to gain 15% on his total and 8 pounds of body weight. What is the ratio of his lifting total to bodyweight?
A: He added 2200 * .15 = 330 pounds to his total. That means his new title is 2200 + 330 = 2530 pound total. His new body weight is 245 + 8 = 253 pounds. So he has 2530 / 253 = 10 for his ratio. The answer is 10.

[Question]Bob is going to plant corn in part of his garden. The rows are 120 feet long, and each seed needs its own dedicated space of 18 inches to its right. How many seeds can Bob plant in each row?
[Answer]18 inches is equal to 18 / 12 = 1.5 feet. Each row is 120 feet long, so there are 120 / 1.5 = 80 18 - inch lengths on which seeds can be planted. The answer is 80.
Q: A frog pond has five frogs living in it. Some frogs laid eggs, and now there are three times as many tadpoles growing into more frogs as there are frogs. Two-thirds of the tadpoles will survive to maturity as frogs. The pond can only sustain eight frogs. How many frogs will have to find a new pond when the tadpoles grow up?
A: There are three times the number of tadpoles as frogs, so there are 3 * 5 = 15 tadpoles. Two - thirds of the tadpoles will survive to become frogs, so 2 * 15 / 3 = 10 tadpoles will grow into frogs. When the tadpoles grow up, there will be 5 + 10 = 15 frogs in the pond. The pond can only sustain 8 frogs, so 15 - 8 = 7 frogs will need to find a new pond. The answer is 7.
Question: Marnie makes bead bracelets. She bought 5 bags of 50 beads and 2 bags of 100 beads. If 50 beads are used to make one bracelet, how many bracelets will Marnie be able to make out of the beads she bought?
Answer:
Marnie bought 50 x 5 = 250 beads from the 5 bags of 50 beads. She also bought 100 x 2 = 200 beads from the 2 bags of 100 beads. She has a total of 250 + 200 = 450 beads. Hence, she will be able to make 450 / 50 = 9 bracelets. The answer is 9.
