Question: James watched 2 episodes of Jeopardy and 2 episodes of Wheel of Fortune. Jeopardy is 20 minutes and Wheel of Fortune is twice as long. How many hours did he watch TV?
Answer: He watched 2 * 20 = 40 minutes of Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune is 2 * 20 = 40 minutes each. So he watched it for 40 * 2 = 80 minutes. So he watched 40 + 80 = 120 minutes of TV. That means he watched 120 / 60 = 2 hours of TV. The answer is 2.
[Question]Josh and Anna were both born on August 17th, but in different years. To consolidate celebrations they also got married on August 17 when Josh turned 22. If today they're celebrating 30 years of marriage and their combined age is exactly 5 times what Josh's age was when they married, how old was Anna when they got married?
[Answer]We know that Josh must be 30 years older than his age when they got married, therefore he is 30 + 22 = 52 years old today. If their current combined age is 5 times the age Josh was when they married (22), then their total combined age is 5 * 22 = 110 years. That means that Anna must be 110 - 52 = 58 years old today. If they married 30 years ago, Anna must have been 58 - 30 = 28 years old when they married. The answer is 28.
Q: Fernanda purchased six audiobooks from Audible to listen to from her audible app. If each audiobook was 30 hours long and she listened to 2 hours of an audiobook each day, calculate the total time it took her to finish the six audiobooks?
A: To finish an audiobook 30 hours long, listening to 2 hours of each audiobook a day, Fernanda took 30 hours / 2 hours / day = 15 days to finish one audiobook. If she purchased 6 audiobooks, the total number of days she will take to finish all the audiobooks is 6 audiobooks * 15 days / audiobook = 90 days. The answer is 90.
