[Question]Blanche, Rose and Dorothy liked to collect sea glass when they went to the beach. Blanche found 12 pieces of green and 3 pieces of red sea glass. Rose found 9 pieces of red and 11 pieces of blue sea glass. If Dorothy found twice as many pieces of red glass as Blanche and Rose and three times as much blue sea glass as Rose, how many pieces did Dorothy have?
[Answer]Blanche found 3 pieces of red and Rose found 9 pieces of red for a total of 3 + 9 = 12 pieces of red. Dorothy found twice the amount of red as her friends so she has 2 * 12 = 24 pieces of red sea glass. Rose found 11 pieces of blue sea glass and Dorothy found 3 times that amount so she had 11 * 3 = 33 pieces of blue glass. Together, Dorothy found 24 red and 33 blue so she had 24 + 33 = 57 pieces of sea glass. The answer is 57.
Q: Jack has been driving for the past 9 years. He drives 37,000 miles every four months. How many miles has Jack driven since he started driving?
A: There are 12 / 4 = 3 four month groups in a year. Jack drives 37,000 * 3 = 111,000 miles in a year. Jack has driven 111,000 * 9 = 999,000 miles since he has started driving. The answer is 999000.
Question: A plane flies between 4 cities; A, B, C and D. Passengers board and alight at each airport in every city when it departs and lands, respectively. The distance between city A and city B is 100 miles. The distance between city B and city C is 50 miles more than the distance between city A and city B. The distance between city C and city D is twice the distance between city B and city C. Calculate the total distance between city A and city D.
Answer: Since the distance between city A and B is 100 miles, and city B and C are 50 more miles apart than city A and B, then city B and C are 100 + 50 = 150 miles apart. The plane's total flying distance between cities A and C is 100 + 150 = 250 miles. The distance between city C and city D is twice the distance between city B and city C, meaning city C and city D are 2 * 150 = 300 miles apart. The plane flies a distance of 250 + 300 = 550 miles from city A to city D. The answer is 550.
[Question]Kevin's fish tank was leaking slowly at a rate of 1.5 ounces per hour. He planned to go to the fish tank store later that day to get a new tank, but it may be as long as 12 hours before he can return home with the new tank. Therefore, to collect the leaking fluid over that time, he placed a bucket underneath the tank that could hold twice the amount of fluid that would leak over 12 hours. What size bucket, in ounces, did he use?
[Answer]Over 12 hours, a leak of 1.5 ounces per hour for 12 hours would generate 1.5 * 12 = 18 ounces. A bucket that can hold twice the volume leaked is 18 * 2 = 36 ounces. The answer is 36.
[Question]Gina is figuring out how much she'll have to spend on college this year. She's taking 14 credits that cost $450 each, and she has to pay $120 for each of her 5 textbooks plus a $200 facilities fee. How much will Gina spend in total?
[Answer]
First, find out how much will Gina pay for tuition by multiplying her number of credits by the cost per credit: 14 * 450 = $6300. Then find out how much she pays for textbooks by multiplying the number of books by the cost per book: 5 * 120 = $600. Finally, add up all Gina's costs to find the total of 6300 + 600 + 200 = $7100. The answer is 7100.
