Answer the following question.
A bathroom has 10 6 inch tiles along its width and 20 6 inch tiles along its length. What is the square footage of the bathroom?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 10 tiles that are 6 inches long running the width of the bathroom so it is 10 * 6 = 60 inches long. There are 12 inches in a foot and it’s 60 inches wide so it is 60 / 12 = 5 feet wide. There are 20 tiles that are 6 inches long running the length of the bathroom so it’s 20 * 6 = 120 inches long. There are 12 inches in a foot and it’s 120 inches long so it is 120 / 12 = 10 feet wide. The square footage is l x w so the bathroom has 10 * 5 = 50 sq feet.
The answer is 50.

Answer the following question.
Henry, John and Leo collected some seashells from the beach. Henry collected 11, Paul 24. If they initially collected 59 seashells in total and Leo gave a quarter of his collection to a younger kid they met, how many do they have in total now?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Henry and Paul collected a total of 11 + 24 = 35 seashells. To make a total of 59, Leo must have collected 59 - 35 = 24 seashells. He gave out a quarter of 24 seashells which is 24 * (1 / 4) = 6 seashells. They are now left with 59 - 6 = 53 seashells.
The answer is 53.

Answer the following question.
A publishing house decides to create a contest for new writers and will award a total of $800 in prizes to the 18 novels with the most votes. First place will get $200, second place will get $150, third place $120 and the rest of the awards will be paid with the same amount of money. How much money will each writer earn from fourth place onwards?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The first three cash prizes sum to $200 + $150 + $120 = $470. The remaining amount of cash prizes to be distributed is $800 - $470 = $330. The number of novels left to be awarded is 18 – 3 = 15 novels. So each writer from 4th to 18th will earn $330 / 15 = $22.
The answer is 22.

Answer the following question.
Working together, four pugs can clean their house in 45 minutes. In how many minutes will 15 pugs working together be able to clean their house?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If four pugs can clean their house in 45 minutes, one pug will take 4 * 45 = 180 minutes. Since one pug working alone takes 180 minutes to clean the house, fifteen pugs working together will be able to clean their house in 180 / 15 = 12 minutes.
The answer is 12.
