Q: Jacob has been tasked with a project to write up an urban plan proposal that will be used to construct a new city. He uses Pittsburg city as a reference which has 2000 stores, 500 hospitals, 200 schools, and 20 police stations. If the new city should have half the number of stores, twice as many hospitals, 50 fewer schools, and 5 more police stations, what is the total number of buildings required for this project?
A: The number of stores required for the new city is 2000 / 2 = 1000 stores. The number of hospitals required for the new city is 2 * 500 = 1000 hospitals. The number of schools required for the new city is 200 - 50 = 150 schools. The number of police stations required for the new city is 20 + 5 = 25 police stations. The total number of buildings required for this new city project 1000 + 1000 + 150 + 25 = 2175 buildings. The answer is 2175.

[Answer]
He swam 2 * 2 = 4 miles. He ran for 2 / 2 = 1 hour. His running speed was 2 * 4 = 8 mph. So he ran 8 * 1 = 8 miles. So his total distance was 8 + 4 = 12 miles. The answer is 12.
