Q: Every Halloween one house in the neighborhood gives out toothbrushes instead of candy, so it always gets egged and covered in toilet paper. If the owner spends 15 seconds cleaning up each egg and 30 minutes cleaning up each roll of toilet paper, how long (in minutes) will they have to spend cleaning up 60 eggs and 7 rolls of toilet paper?
A: First find how many eggs per minute the owner can clean up: 60 seconds / minute / 15 seconds / egg = 4 eggs / minute. Then divide the total number of eggs by the number of eggs cleaned per minute to find how long the owner spends cleaning them up: 60 eggs / 4 eggs / minute = 15 minutes. Then find the total time the owner spends cleaning up toilet paper: 7 rolls * 30 minutes / roll = 210 minutes. Finally, add that amount to the egg cleaning time to find the total cleaning time: 210 minutes + 15 minutes = 225 minutes. The answer is 225.
Question: A book is 98 pages long. Half of the pages are filled with images, and 11 with an introduction. Of the remaining pages, half are blank and the other half are filled with text. How many pages with text are there?
Answer: Half of the pages are images, which means 98 * 0.5 = 49 pages. So there are 98 - 49 - 11 pages for the introduction = 38 remaining pages. Half of the remaining pages are filled with text, which means 38 * 0.5 = 19 pages. The answer is 19.
[Question]Erin is watching a TV mini series of Pride and Prejudice. There are 6 episodes that are each 50 minutes long. If Erin watches all of the episodes in one sitting, one after the other with no breaks, how many hours will she spend watching the series?
[Answer]The total minutes in the series is 6 * 50 = 300 minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, Erin will spend 300 / 60 = 5 hours watching the series. The answer is 5.
Q: Reese had a sum of money in her savings account. The company she used to work with was not doing well which is why she lost her job. So she spent 20% of her savings for her expenses in February, 40% of it in March, and $1500 in April. How much did she have in her savings account if she still has $2900 after spending those amounts?
A: The total percentage of money that Reese spent in February and March is 20% + 40% = 60%. This means the April expenses and the money left in her account make up 100% - 60% = 40% of her savings. Reese had $2900 + $1500 = $4400 for the April expenses and the money left in her account. So, $4400 is equal to 40% which means every 1% is equal to $4400 / 40 = $110. Therefore, Reese originally had $110 x 100 = $11000 in her savings account. The answer is 11000.
Question: At the beginning of the day, Principal Kumar instructed Harold to raise the flag up the flagpole. The flagpole is 60 feet long, and when fully raised, the flag sits on the very top of the flagpole. Later that morning, Vice-principal Zizi instructed Harold to lower the flag to half-mast. So, Harold lowered the flag halfway down the pole.  Later, Principal Kumar told Harold to raise the flag to the top of the pole once again, and Harold did just that. At the end of the day, Vice-principal Zizi instructed Harold to completely lower the flag, take it off of the pole, and put it away for the evening. Over the course of the day, how far, in feet, had the flag moved up and down the pole?
Answer: Half of the distance up the flagpole is 60 / 2 = 30 feet. Thus, Harold moved the flag 60 up + 30 down + 30 up + 60 down = 180 feet. The answer is 180.
