Question: A hay farmer harvested 560 bales of hay from 5 acres of grass per month last year. This year, he planted an additional 7 acres of grass. If the farmer also owns 9 horses and each horse consumes 3 bales of hay a day, how many bales of hay would the farmer have left by the end of December if he starts feeding them this year's hay beginning the first day of September?
Answer: For every acre of grass, the farmer can harvest 560 / 5 = 112 bales of hay each month. This year, the farmer has 7 + 5 = 12 acres of grass. He can expect to harvest 12 x 112 = 1344 bales of hay per month. The total hay production this year is 1344 * 12 = 16128. From September to December, the farmer would have to feed his horses for a total of 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 122 days. Each day his horse eats a total of 3 * 9 = 27 bales of hay. For the 122 days, the horses will eat a total of 27 * 122 = 3294 bales. The total number of bales remaining will be 16128 - 3294 = 12834. The answer is 12834.

Q: In a graveyard, there are 20 skeletons. Half of these skeletons are adult women, and the remaining number are split evenly between adult men and children. If an adult woman has 20 bones in their body, and a male has 5 more than this, and a child has half as many as an adult woman, how many bones are in the graveyard?
A: We first need to figure out how many of each type of skeleton there are. Since half the 20 skeletons are adult women, that means there are 20 / 2 = 10 adult women's skeletons. The remaining half, 10, is split between adult men and children, meaning there are 10 / 2 = 5 of each. Since an adult woman has 20 bones in their body, this means that the 10 skeletons have 20 * 10 = 200 bones in total. Since an adult man has 5 more bones in their body than an adult woman, this means they have 20 + 5 = 25 bones in their body. There are 5 adult men, meaning there are 25 * 5 = 125 bones in the adult male skeletons in total. Since a child has half as many bones as the 20 in an adult woman, this means the children have 20 / 2 = 10 bones in their body. Since there are 5 children, this means there are 5 * 10 = 50 bones in the children's skeletons in total. Therefore, altogether there are 50 + 125 + 200 = 375 bones in total in the graveyard. The answer is 375.
Question: Victoria was given a $50 bill by her mother to buy her friends snacks for their group meeting. She bought 2 boxes of pizza that costs $12 each and 2 packs of juice drinks that cost $2 each. How much money should Victoria return to her mother?
Answer: Two boxes of pizza amount to $12 x 2 = $24. Two packs of juice amount to $2 x 2 = $4. Victoria paid a total of $24 + $4 = $28. Hence, she should return the $50 - $28 = $22 to her mother. The answer is 22.
[Question]Lyra has an $80 budget for a week to spend on food. If she bought 1 bucket of fried chicken that costs $12 and 5 pounds of beef that cost $3 per pound. How much is left on her weekly budget?
[Answer]Five pounds of beef cost $3 x 5 = $15. So Lyra spent a total of $12 + $15 = $27. Therefore, $80 - $27 = $53 is left on her weekly budget. The answer is 53.
[Question]Kyle bikes for 2 hours to work every day. Ten times the time he takes to travel to work and back is the same as the cost of buying a pack of snacks (in dollars). How much will Ryan pay, in dollars, to buy 50 packs of snacks?
[Answer]
A round trip to work and back takes 2 * 2 = 4 hours. Ten times the time Kyle takes to travel to work and back is the same as the cost of buying a pack of snacks, meaning the packs are sold at 4 * 10 = $40 each. Ryan will pay $40 * 50 = $2000 to buy 50 packs of snacks?. The answer is 2000.
