Question: Luke takes a 70-minute bus to work every day. His coworker Paula takes 3/5 of this time to arrive by bus at work. If Luke takes a bike ride back home every day, 5 times slower than the bus, and Paula takes the bus back home, calculate the total amount of time, in minutes, they take traveling from home to work and back each day.
Answer: When Luke takes the 70 - minute bus to work, his coworker Paula takes 3 / 5 * 70 = 42 minutes to travel from home to work. From work to home, Paula spends the same amount of time she spent going to work, giving a total of 42 + 42 = 84 minutes in a day traveling. From work to home, while riding the bike, Luke spends 5 * 70 = 350 minutes on the road. The total time Luke takes to travel from home to work and back is 350 + 70 = 420 minutes. Together, Luke and Paula takes 420 + 84 = 504 minutes. The answer is 504.

Q: Austin is a surfer. He took a trip to the beach during surfing season and the highest wave he caught was two feet higher than four times his height. The shortest wave he caught was four feet higher than his height. The shortest wave was three feet higher than his 7-foot surfboard is long. How tall was the highest wave Austin caught?
A: The shortest wave was 7 + 3 = 10 feet tall. Austin is 10 - 4 = 6 feet tall. Thus, the highest wave Austin caught was 6 * 4 + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26 feet tall. The answer is 26.
Question: Tamara is 3 times Kim's height less 4 inches. Tamara and Kim have a combined height of 92 inches. How many inches tall is Tamara?
Answer: Let K = Kim's height. Tamara = 3K - 4. K + 3K - 4 = 92. 4K - 4 = 92. 4K = 96. Kim = 24 inches. Tamara = (3 * 24) - 4 = 68 inches. Tamara is 68 inches tall. The answer is 68.
[Question]Markus is twice the age of his son, and Markus's son is twice the age of Markus's grandson. If the sum of the ages of Markus, his son, and his grandson is 140 years, then how many years old is Markus's grandson?
[Answer]Let "x" be the age of Markus's grandson. If Markus's son is twice the age of Markus's grandson, then Markus's son is 2 * x. If Markus is twice the age of his son, then Markus is 2 * 2 * x. Therefore, if the sum of the ages of Markus, his son, and his grandson is 140 years, then x + (2 * x) + (2 * 2 * x) = 140 years. Simplifying the equation, we see that 7 * x = 140 years. Therefore, the age of Markus's grandson is x = 20 years old. The answer is 20.
[Question]Pauline has a garden with vegetables. In it, Pauline has planted 3 kinds of tomatoes - 5 of each kind, 5 kinds of cucumbers - 4 of each kind, and 30 potatoes. In the whole garden, there are 10 rows with 15 spaces in each to plant any vegetable. How many more vegetables could Pauline plant in her garden?
[Answer]
Pauline planted in total 3 * 5 = 15 tomatoes. Pauline also planted 5 * 4 = 20 cucumbers. In total Pauline planted 15 + 20 + 30 = 65 different vegetables. The whole garden can be filled up with 10 * 15 = 150 different vegetables. So Pauline could plant 150 - 65 = 85 more vegetables in her garden. The answer is 85.
