Q: Bill composes 20 total math questions for money. Ryan composes twice as many problems as Bill, and Frank composes 3 times as many as Ryan. Assuming each person has to compose 4 different types of math problems in equal proportion out of the total amount, how many problems of each type does Frank compose?
A: Since Ryan composes twice as many problems as Bill's total of 20, this means Ryan composes 20 * 2 = 40 problems. Frank composes 3 times as many as Ryan does, so this means Frank composes 40 * 3 = 120 problems. Since Frank needs to submit 4 types of problems in equal proportion out of his total, this means he needs to make 120 / 4 = 30 problems of each type. The answer is 30.
Question: John's car gets 30 mpg. He drives 20 miles to work each way 5 days a week. He also drives another 40 miles a week for leisure travel. How many gallons of gas does he use a week?
Answer: He drives 20 * 2 = 40 miles per day for work. So he drives 40 * 5 = 200 miles for work. So he drives a total of 200 + 40 = 240 miles per week. That means he uses 240 / 30 = 8 gallons of gas a week. The answer is 8.
[Question]How long is it before Kayla can reach the minimum age of driving of her state, which is 18, if she is currently half the age of her sister Kimiko who is 26 years old?
[Answer]If Kimiko is 26 years old, Kayla, who is half her age, is 26 / 2 = 13 years old. Sine the minimum driving age is 18, Kayla will have to wait for 18 - 13 = 5 more years to start driving. The answer is 5.
Q: A Lamplighter monkey has long arms and can swing from branch to branch at a speed of 10 feet per second. But when the monkey is frightened, it will run along the branches at a speed of 15 feet per second. If a Lamplighter monkey runs for 5 seconds to evade a predator, then swings for another 10 seconds to add distance between itself and the predator, how far, in feet, will the monkey travel?
A: At a speed of 15 feet per second, for 5 seconds, the monkey will travel 5 * 15 = 75 feet. At a speed of 10 feet per second for 10 seconds, the monkey will travel 10 * 10 = 100 feet. In total, the monkey will travel 75 + 100 = 175 feet. The answer is 175.
Question: Denise will be 25 years old in two years. Her sister, Diane, is 4 years younger. In how many years will Diane be 25 years old?
Answer: Denise is 25 - 2 = 23 years old now. So, Diane is 23 - 4 = 19 years old now. Diane will be 25 years old in 25 - 19 = 6 years. The answer is 6.
Q: One necklace is worth $34. Bob decided to buy one for his wife. But, he also bought a book, which is $5 more expensive than the necklace. Before he went shopping, Bob set a limit and decided not to spend more than $70. How many dollars over the "limit" did Bob spend?
A:
The book is $5 more expensive than the necklace, which means the book costs 34 + 5 = $39. Both products which Bob wants to buy cost in total 39 + 34 = $73. So Bob will spend 73 - 70 = $3 over the limit. The answer is 3.
