Q: Cowboy Mickey and cowgirl Minnie train horses for a living. On average, Mickey mounts six less than twice as many horses per day as does Minnie, while Minnie mounts three more horses per day than there are days in a week. How many horses does Mickey Mount per week?
A: If Minnie mounts three more horses per day than there are days in a week, then Minnie mounts 7 + 3 = 10 horses per day. Twice as many horses per day as Minnie mounts is 10 * 2 = 20 horses per day. If Mickey mounts six less than twice as many horses per day as does Minnie, then Mickey mounts 20 - 6 = 14 horses per day. Since there are 7 days in a week, then Mickey mounts 7 * 14 = 98 horses per week. The answer is 98.
Question: Mabel planted 4 tomato plants. One tomato plant bore 8 tomatoes and another bore 4 more tomatoes than the first. The two remaining plants each bore three times the number of tomatoes as the first two plants combined. How many tomatoes does Mabel have?
Answer: The second tomato plant bore 8 + 4 = 12 fruit. The first two plants bore 8 + 12 = 20 fruit combined. Each of the other two plants bore 20 x 3 = 60 fruit. Mabel has 8 + 12 + 60 + 60 = 140 tomatoes. The answer is 140.
Q: Charles is jogging while listening to his favorite album. He runs at 6 MPH when he's got music on and 4 MPH when he doesn't. His album is 40 minutes long. How many minutes will it take him to jog 6 miles?
A:
He runs at .1 miles per minute because 6 / 60 = .1. While the album is playing he can run 4 miles because 40 x .1 = 4. He has to run 2 miles without the album because 6 - 4 = 2. Without music he runs 1 / 15 miles per minute because 4 / 60 = 1 / 15. He will run the remaining 2 miles in 30 minutes because 2 / (1 / 15) = 30. It will take him 70 minutes in total because 40 + 30 = 70. The answer is 70.
