Question: Some friends wanted to make a road trip from New York to Los Angeles. They drove at a constant speed of 62 miles/hour, taking breaks of 30 minutes every 5 hours. Once in the city, they looked for the hotel for 30 minutes. If the trip took around 2,790 miles, how many hours will they have to spend to complete the trip to the hotel?
Answer: At a constant speed of 62 miles / hour, they will drive 2,790 miles / 62 miles / hour = 45 hours in total. Every 5 hours they take a break, they will take 45 hours / 5 hours / break = 9 breaks. Those breaks will be 9 breaks x 30 minutes / break = 270 minutes in total. In hours, the breaks will be in total 270 minutes ÷ 60 minutes / hour = 4.5 hours. To find the hotel it took them 30 minutes ÷ 60 minutes / hour = 0.5 hours. In total, it will take 45 hours + 4.5 hours + 0.5 hours = 50 hours to complete the trip. The answer is 50.
[Question]In a fruit salad, there are raspberries, green grapes, and red grapes. There are seven more than 3 times the number of red grapes as green grapes. There are 5 less raspberries than green grapes. If there are 102 pieces of fruit in the salad, how many red grapes are in the salad?
[Answer]Green grapes = G. Red grapes = 3G + 7. Raspberries = G - 5. G + 3G + 7 + G - 5 = 102. 5G + 2 = 102. 5G = 100. G = 20. 3 * 20 + 7 = 67. There are 67 red grapes. The answer is 67.
Q: Manny has a tree that grows at the rate of fifty centimeters every two weeks. If the tree is currently 2 meters tall, how tall, in centimeters, will the tree be in 4 months?
A: A month has four weeks, so there are 4 * 4 = 16 weeks in four months. Since the tree grows for five centimeters every two weeks, it will grow by fifty centimeters every week for 16 / 2 = 8 weeks. The tree will increase in height by 8 * 50 = 400 centimeters after four months. Since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, the tree is currently 2 * 100 = 200 centimeters tall. After growing by 400 centimeters for four months, the tree will be 400 + 200 = 600 centimeters tall. The answer is 600.
Question: Lisa has decided to replace her old cutlery. As she is going through the cupboards, she sees the spoons from when each of her 4 children were babies as well as 2 decorative spoons she created. She doesn't want to get rid of any of these so she adds them to her new set of cutlery. The new set of cutlery has 10 large spoons and 15 teaspoons. If the children each had 3 spoons when they were babies, how many spoons does Lisa now have?
Answer: From the baby spoons, Lisa holds 4 children * 3 spoons each = 12 baby spoons. Adding this to the decorative spoons means Lisa has 12 baby spoons + 2 decorative spoons = 14 old spoons. In the new set of cutlery, there is a total of 10 large spoons + 15 teaspoons = 25 new spoons. So in total, Lisa has 14 old spoons + 25 new spoons = 39 spoons. The answer is 39.
