Q: A row of houses all share a community space where they put up their clotheslines. There are 2 clotheslines for every house on the street. On the street, there are a total of 11 children and 20 adults. Each child currently has 4 items of clothing on the clotheslines and each adult currently has 3 items of clothing on the clotheslines. If each clothesline can hold 2 items of clothing and all of the clotheslines are full, how many houses are on the street?
A: From the children, there are a total of 11 children * 4 items of clothing each = 44 items of clothing on the clotheslines. From the adults, there are a total of 20 adults * 3 items of clothing each = 60 items of clothing on the clotheslines. So there are a total of 44 + 60 = 104 items of clothing on the clotheslines. This means that there are 104 items of clothing / 2 items of clothing per clothesline = 52 clotheslines. There are 2 clotheslines per house so there must be 52 clotheslines / 2 = 26 houses on the street. The answer is 26.

[Question]James takes up dancing for fitness. He loses twice as many calories per hour as he did when he was walking. He dances twice a day for .5 hours each time and he does this 4 times a week. He burned 300 calories an hour walking. How many calories does he lose a week from dancing?
[Answer]He burns 2 * 300 = 600 calories an hour. He dances for .5 * 2 = 1 hour per day. So he burns 600 * 1 = 600 calories per day. So he burns 600 * 4 = 2400 calories per week. The answer is 2400.

Q: $240 was divided between Kelvin and Samuel. Samuel received 3/4 of the money. From his share, Samuel then spent 1/5 of the original $240 on drinks. How much does Samuel have left?
A:
Samuel received 3 / 4 of $240, which is $240 * (3 / 4) = $180. He spent 1 / 5 of $240, which is $240 * (1 / 5) = $48. He spent this amount from his own share, so he has $180 - $48 = $132 left. The answer is 132.
