Question: A Burmese python that was 1.4 meters long swallowed a 50-centimeter alligator. After one week, the alligator was completely digested. If this snake continues to eat 50-centimeter-long alligators at a constant rate of one alligator per week, what is the maximum number of alligators that the snake can eat in 616 days?
Answer: Since one week is 7 days. 616 days is 616 / 7 = 88 weeks. Since the python eats 1 alligator per week, in 88 weeks it can eat 88 / 1 = 88 alligators. The answer is 88.
[Question]Austin receives $5 for every hour he helps his father build a deck in their backyard. He works for 2 hours on Mondays, an hour on Wednesdays, and 3 hours on Fridays. If Austin wants to buy a bicycle that costs $180, how many weeks does he have to work?
[Answer]Austin works a total of 2 + 1 + 3 = 6 hours a week. Since he is paid $5 per hour of work, he'll earn $5 * 6 = 30 in a week. To make $180, he'll have to work for $180 / $30 = 6 weeks. The answer is 6.
Q: John can front squat 80% as much as he back squats. He used to back squat 200 kg but increased that by 50 kg. He can do a triple equal to 90% of the amount he front squats. How much weight will he move if he does three triples?
A: He increased his back squat to 200 + 50 = 250 kg. That means his front squat is 250 * .8 = 200 kg. So he can do a triple with 200 * .9 = 180 kg. So he moves 180 * 3 = 540 kg if he does three triples. The answer is 540.
