Q: Max was doing homework in three different subjects. It took him 20 minutes to finish tasks from biology and two times more time to finish history. Geography took him the most time, three times more than history. How much time did Max spend on doing his homework?
A: Max finished history in 20 * 2 = 40 minutes. Finishing geography took the most time, which is 40 * 3 = 120 minutes. In total, for all three subjects, Max needed 20 + 40 + 120 = 180 minutes. The answer is 180.
Question: Anna, Alison, and Jeff collect stamps. Anna had 37 stamps in her collection, Alison had 28 stamps in her collection, and Jeff had 31 stamps in his collection. Alison gave Anna half of her collection in exchange for a novel, and then Anna traded Jeff two bluebird stamps for one mountain stamp. How many stamps did Anna have in the end?
Answer: Alison gave Anna 1 / 2 * 28 = 28 / 2 = 14 stamps. Adding Alison’s stamps to Anna’s collection means Anna has 14 + 37 = 51 stamps. Then Anna traded Jeff 2 stamps, so she had 51 - 2 = 49 stamps. Anna got 1 stamp back in the trade, so she had 49 + 1 = 50 stamps in the end. The answer is 50.

Q: Georgia is sick and coughs 5 times a minute. Her brother Robert is also sick but he coughs twice as much as her. After 20 minutes, how many times have they coughed?
