Question: There are 7 trucks that have 20 boxes. There are 5 trucks that have 12 boxes. Each box holds 8 containers of oil. If all of the oil is evenly redistributed onto 10 trucks, how many containers of oil will each truck have?
Answer: Boxes of oil = 7 * 20 + 5 * 12 = 200 boxes. Containers of oil = 200 boxes * 8 containers = 1600 containers of oil. 1600 / 10 = 160. Each truck will carry 160 containers of oil. The answer is 160.
[Question]Barney can perform 45 sit-ups in one minute. Carrie can do twice as many sit-ups per minute as Barney can. And Jerrie can do 5 more sit-ups per minute than Carrie can do. If Barney does sit-ups for 1 minute, and Carrie does sit-ups for two minutes, and Jerrie does sit-ups for three minutes, what would be the combined total number of sit-ups performed?
[Answer]Carrie can do 2 * 45 = 90 sit - ups per minute. Jerrie can do 90 + 5 = 95 sit - ups per minute. In two minutes, Carrie would perform 90 * 2 - 180 sit - ups. And in three minutes, Jerrie would perform 3 * 95 = 285 sit - ups. Thus, in the scenario described, in total, the three would perform 45 + 180 + 285 = 510 sit - ups. The answer is 510.
Q: Audrey is 7 years older than Heracles. In 3 years, Audrey will be twice as old as Heracles is now. How old is Heracles now?
A: Since Audrey is older than Heracles by 7 years, in 3 years he will be 10 years older than Heracles' current age. In 3 years he will be double Heracles' current age 10 * 2 = 20. Heracles is 10. The answer is 10.
Question: On a particular day, a car traveled from Ningi to Zipra in 80% of the time it traveled from Ngapara to Zipra. If the car took 60 hours to travel from Ngapara to Zipra, calculate the total time the car traveled that day.
Answer: If the car traveled from Ningi to Zipra in 80% of the time it traveled from Ngapara to Zipra, it took 80 / 100 * 60 = 48 hours to travel from Ningi to Zipra. The total travel time that day is 48 + 60 = 108 hours. The answer is 108.
[Question]Mabel lives 4500 steps directly east of Lake High school. Helen lives 3/4 the number of steps that Mabel lives, directly west of the school. What's the total number of steps Mabel will walk to visit Helen so that they can do their assignments together?
[Answer]Helen lives 3 / 4 * 4500 = 3375 steps directly west of Lake High. To reach Helen, Mabel would have to walk to 4500 + 3375 = 7875 steps. The answer is 7875.
[Question]Colbert is building a treehouse out of wooden planks. The treehouse needs 200 wooden planks. A quarter of these planks come from Colbert’s storage, half of these planks come from Colbert’s parents, 20 planks come from Colbert’s friends and he buys the rest from the store. How many planks of wood does he need to buy from the store to finish his treehouse?
[Answer]
In Colbert’s storage, there are 200 wooden planks / 4 = 50 wooden planks. From his parents, there are 200 wooden planks / 2 = 100 wooden planks. So in total, Colbert has not had to buy 50 wooden planks from storage + 100 wooden planks from his parents + 20 wooden planks from his friends = 170 wooden planks. He therefore still needs to buy 200 needed wooden planks – 170 owned wooden planks = 30 wooden planks. The answer is 30.
