Answer this question:A train takes 2 hours longer to go an equal distance of a car. If the car and the train leave station A at the same time, and the car reaches station B 4.5 hours later, calculate the combined time the car and the train take to reach station B.
Since the train takes 2 hours longer to go an equal distance as the car, to reach station B, the train took 4.5 + 2 = 6.5 hours. Together, the train and the car take a total of 6.5 + 4.5 = 11 hours to travel from station A to station B.
The answer is 11.

Answer this question:Camille goes to the Ice Cream Palace with her husband and two children. Each one orders a different ice cream. Camille orders a banana split, her husband orders a waffle bowl, her daughter orders a single cone, and her son orders a double cone. The cone has 1 scoop of ice cream, the banana split has 3 times as many scoops of ice cream as the cone and the waffle bowl has 1 more scoop than the banana split. How many scoops of ice cream did the ice cream man serve?
The double cone has 2 * 1 = 2 scoops of ice cream. The banana split has three times as many scoops of ice cream as the single cone, so it has 3 * 1 = 3 scoops of ice cream. The waffle bowl has 1 more scoop of ice cream than the banana split, so it has 3 + 1 = 4 scoops of ice cream. The ice cream man served a total of 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 scoops of ice cream.
The answer is 10.
