[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.
Q: Flynn watches 30 minutes of tv every night during the weekdays. On the weekends, she watches an additional 2 hours of TV in total. How many hours of tv does she watch in 52 weeks?
A: She watches 30 minutes of tv per night, 5 days a week so that's 30 * 5 = 150 minutes of tv. She watches 2 hours of tv on the weekends and 60 minutes are in 1 hour so that's 2 * 60 = 120 minutes of tv. All total she watches 150 + 120 = 270 minutes of tv per week. There are 52 weeks in a year and she watches 270 minutes per week so that's 52 * 270 = 14,040 minutes of tv per year. She watches 14,040 minutes of tv and 60 minutes are in an hour so she watches 14040 / 60 = 234 hours. The answer is 234.
Question: Susy goes to a large school with 800 students, while Sarah goes to a smaller school with only 300 students. At the start of the school year, Susy had 100 social media followers. She gained 40 new followers in the first week of the school year, half that in the second week, and half of that in the third week. Sarah only had 50 social media followers at the start of the year, but she gained 90 new followers the first week, a third of that in the second week, and a third of that in the third week. After three weeks, how many social media followers did the girl with the most total followers have?
Answer: After one week, Susy has 100 + 40 = 140 followers. In the second week, Susy gains 40 / 2 = 20 new followers. In the third week, Susy gains 20 / 2 = 10 new followers. In total, Susy finishes the three weeks with 140 + 20 + 10 = 170 total followers. After one week, Sarah has 50 + 90 = 140 followers. After the second week, Sarah gains 90 / 3 = 30 followers. After the third week, Sarah gains 30 / 3 = 10 followers. So, Sarah finishes the three weeks with 140 + 30 + 10 = 180 total followers. Thus, Sarah is the girl with the most total followers with a total of 180. The answer is 180.
