Q: Tricia is a third of Amilia’s age and Amilia is a quarter of Yorick’s age. Yorick is twice Eugene’s age and Khloe is a third of Eugene’s age. Rupert is 10 years older than Khloe but 2 years younger than Vincent who is 22 years old. How old, in years, is Tricia?
A: Rupert is younger than Vincent by 2 years, so he is 22 years old – 2 years = 20 years old. Khloe is 10 years younger than Rupert so she is 20 years old – 10 years = 10 years old. Eugene is 3 times older than Khloe so he is 10 years old * 3 = 30 years old. Yorick is twice Eugene’s age so he is 30 years old * 2 = 60 years old. Amilia is a quarter of Yorick’s age so she is 60 years old / 4 = 15 years old. Tricia is a third of Amilia’s age so she is 15 years old / 3 = 5 years old. The answer is 5.

[Question]A superhero can use superhuman speed to run 10 miles in 4 minutes. The supervillain has an Evil-Mobile that drives 100 miles per hour. How many miles farther can the superhero run in an hour than the supervillain can drive?
[Answer]There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the superhero will run 60 / 4 = 15 intervals of 10 miles in an hour. Thus, the superhero can run 15 * 10 = 150 miles in an hour. The superhero can run 150 - 100 = 50 miles farther than the supervillain can drive in an hour. The answer is 50.
