Q: On Saturdays and Sundays, Suzanne makes french toast for the family. She and her husband each have 1 whole slice and her daughters split 1 slice. She uses a thick sliced bread that comes 12 slices per loaf. Over 52 weeks, how many loaves of bread will she need to make french toast?
A: She and her husband have 1 slice each and her children split 1 slice so that's 1 + 1 + .5 + .5 = 3 slices. She makes 3 pieces of french toast on Saturday and Sunday for a total of 3 * 2 = 6 slices per weekend. If she uses 6 slices per weekend then over 52 weeks she will have used 6 * 52 = 312 slices. She gets 12 slices per loaf and she needs 312 slices so she needs 312 / 12 = 26 loaves. The answer is 26.
Question: During my workout yesterday, I did 30 squats. Each day, I plan to increase my number of squats by 5 more than the previous day. If I do my workout for four consecutive days, how many squats will I perform the day after tomorrow?
Answer: Today, I will perform 30 + 5 = 35 squats. Tomorrow, I will perform 35 + 5 = 40 squats. So the day after tomorrow, I will perform 40 + 5 = 45 squats. The answer is 45.
[Question]John climbs up 3 flights of stairs. Each flight is 10 feet. He then climbs a rope that is half that height. Finally, he climbs a ladder that is 10 feet longer than the rope. How high up did he go?
[Answer]He climbed 3 * 10 = 30 feet of stairs. He then climbed 30 / 2 = 15 feet of rope. Finally, he climbed a 15 + 10 = 25 foot ladder. So in total, he climbed 30 + 15 + 25 = 70 feet. The answer is 70.
Q: Vicky has an excellent internet connection. She can download up to 50 MB/second. She has to download a new program to finish a college assignment. The program’s size is 360GB. If the internet connection is at maximum speed, how many hours does she have to wait until the program is fully downloaded? (There are 1000 MB per GB.)
A: We have to know how many MB are 360GB, 360GB x 1,000MB / 1GB = 360,000 MB. The total seconds downloading will be 360,000MB ÷ 50MB / second = 7,200 seconds. So she has to wait 7,200 seconds ÷ 3,600 seconds / 1 hour = 2 hours. The answer is 2.
Question: Jane runs 3 kilometers in two hours. What is her speed in meters per minute?
Answer: Since 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, then 3 kilometers is 3 x 1000 = 3000 meters. Since an hour has 60 minutes, then 2 hours is equal to 2 x 60 = 120 minutes. Therefore, her speed is 3000 meters / 120 hours = 25 meters per minute. The answer is 25.
Q: Alice had 10 dozens of watermelons. She sold 40% of it yesterday and 1/4 of the remaining today, How many watermelons are left to be sold tomorrow?
A:
Ten dozens of watermelons are equal to 10 x 12 = 120 watermelons. Yesterday, Alice sold 120 x 40 / 100 = 48 watermelons. So, there are only 120 - 48 = 72 watermelons left for today. Today, Alice sold 72 x 1 / 4 = 18 watermelons. Hence, 72 - 18 = 54 watermelons are left to be sold tomorrow. The answer is 54.
