On the weekend, Tony will walk to the store. On weekdays, he runs to the store. When he walks, he goes 2 MPH. When he runs he goes 10 MPH. The store is 4 miles away. If he goes on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, what is the average time in minutes that he spends to get to the store? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. On Sunday he takes 2 hours to get there because 4 / 2 = 2. This takes him 120 minutes because 2 x 60 = 120. On Tuesday and Thursday, it takes him .4 hours to get to the store because 4 / 10 = .4. On Tuesday and Thursday, it takes him 24 minutes to get to the store because .4 x 60 = 24. In total it takes him 168 minutes to get to the store because 120 + 24 + 24 = 168. On average it takes him 56 minutes because 168 / 3 = 56.. The answer is: 56.

For every 5 people that attend a poetry class, the teacher gives one of the students a lollipop. If 45 people show up for class, then another 15 come in a while later, how many lollipops did the teacher give away? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The teacher has 45 + 15 = 60 people come in total. For every 5 people, a lollipop is given away so there are 60 / 5 = 12 groups of 5 people and 12 lollipops given away.. The answer is: 12.

James buys pistachios for $10 per can. Each can is 5 ounces. He eats 30 ounces of pistachios every 5 days. How much does he spend on pistachios per week? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The pistachios cost 10 / 5 = $2 per ounce. He eats 30 / 5 = 6 ounces of pistachios a day. So he spends 6 * 2 = $12 per day on pistachios. So he spends 12 * 7 = $84 per week.. The answer is: 84.
