Question: The ski lift carries skiers all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the very top of the mountain, and then drops them off so they can ski back down the mountain. If it takes a skier 15 minutes to ride the lift from the bottom to the top of the mountain, and then it takes 5 minutes to ski back down the mountain, what is the most number of times a person can ski down the mountain in 2 hours?
Answer: East trip up and back down the mountain takes 15 + 5 = 20 minutes per trip. Two hours is 2 * 60 = 120 minutes. Therefore, in 120 minutes, a skier can take 120 / 20 = 6 trips up and back down the mountain. The answer is 6.
Q: Hadassah took six hours to paint 12 paintings. What would be the total time she's taken to finish all the paintings if she paints 20 more paintings?
A:
If it took Hadassah six hours to paint 12 paintings, then she paints 12 / 6 = 2 paintings in an hour. If two paintings take an hour to complete, 20 paintings will take 20 / 2 = 10 hours. The total time she took to finish all the paintings is 10 + 6 = 16 hours. The answer is 16.
