Q: A chocolate box contains 200 bars. Thomas and his 4 friends take 1/4 of the bars and decide to divide them equally between them. One of Thomas's friends doesn't like chocolate bars very much and returns 5 of his bars to the box. Later, his sister Piper comes home and takes 5 fewer bars than those taken in total by Thomas and his friends so she can also share with her friends. What's the total number of bars left in the box?
A: Thomas and his friends took 1 / 4 * 200 = 50 bars. The total number of bars left in the box was 200 - 50 = 150 bars. Since there are five of them sharing, each of them got 50 / 5 = 10 bars. After a friend returned 5 bars, there were 150 + 5 = 155 bars in the box. Piper took five fewer bars, that is 50 - 5 = 45 bars. The total remaining bars left in the box is 155 - 45 = 110 bars. The answer is 110.
Question: The distance between Robin's house and the city center is 500 meters. He leaves the house to go to the city center. After he walks 200 meters he realizes that he forgot his bag. So he returns to his house, then goes back to the city center. How many meters does he walk in total?
Answer: He walks 200 meters first then he returns to the house. So it makes 200 m + 200 m = 400 m. The city center is 500 meters away from his house so the total distance is 400 m + 500 m = 900 m. The answer is 900.
[Question]Doris works at the Widget Factory in the packing department. She puts 3 widgets in each carton, which are 4 inches wide, 4 inches long, and 5 inches tall. She then packs those cartons into a shipping box before sending it to the loading bay. The shipping boxes are 20 inches wide, 20 inches long, and 20 inches high. How many widgets get shipped in each shipping box?
[Answer]Each carton has an area of 4 * 4 * 5 = 80 square inches. Each shipping box has an area of 20 * 20 * 20 = 8000 square inches. The total number of cartons that will fit into each box is 8000 / 80 = 100. Since there are 3 widgets in each carton, the total number of cartons in each box will be 3 * 100 = 300. The answer is 300.
Q: Hannah has three dogs. The first dog eats 1.5 cups of dog food a day. The second dog eats twice as much while the third dog eats 2.5 cups more than the second dog. How many cups of dog food should Hannah prepare in a day for her three dogs?
A: The second dog eats 1.5 x 2 = 3 cups of dog food. The third dog eats 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 cups. So, Hannah should prepare 1.5 + 3 + 5.5 = 10 cups. The answer is 10.
Question: Braden had $400 in his money box. He had also placed a bet today with Byan that the Raptors will beat the Bulls. If the game's outcome was as Braden predicted, and he and Bryan had agreed to give the winner twice as much money as Braden had in his money box, calculate the total amount of money Braden had in his money box after winning the bet?
Answer: If they agreed to give the winner twice as much money as Braden had in his money box, after winning the bet, Braden received 2 * $400 = $800. Braden increased the total amount of money in his money box to $800 + $400 = $1200. The answer is 1200.
Q: Miles is a musician. He owns three fewer trumpets than he has fingers, and two more guitars than he has hands. He also owns two more trombones than he has heads, and one fewer French horn than he has guitars. What is the total number of musical instruments that Miles owns?
A:
Three fewer trumpets than Miles has fingers is 10 - 3 = 7 trumpets. Two more guitars than he has hands is 2 + 2 = 4 guitars. Two more trombones than he has heads is 2 + 1 = 3 trombones. And one fewer French horn than he has guitars is 4 - 1 = 3 French horns. Altogether, Miles owns 7 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 17 musical instruments. The answer is 17.
