[Question]Amanda's car takes five fewer minutes to complete the same trip to the beach than the bus. If the bus takes 40 minutes to drive 80 miles to the beach, how many minutes will it take the car to make a round trip?
[Answer]If the bus takes 40 minutes to complete 80 miles of a trip, Amanda's car, which takes five fewer minutes to complete a trip than the bus, will take 40 - 5 = 35 minutes to complete the trip. A round trip will take the car twice the time for going one way, a total of 35 + 35 = 70. The answer is 70.
Q: Jenny likes to play board games with her friends. She likes to play against her friend Mark the most, as she's played him 10 times and Mark has only won once. She doesn't like playing Jill, as she's played her twice as many times as she's played Mark and Jill has won 75% of them. How many times in total has Jenny won board games with her two friends?
A: Jenny has played Mark 10 times, and since mark has only won once she's had 10 - 1 = 9 wins. Jenny has played Jill twice as many times as Mark, so they've played 10 * 2 = 20 games. Of the 20 games Jenny and Jill have played, Jill has won 75% of them so she's had 20 * .75 = 15 wins. If Jill has won 15 games, that means Jenny won 20 - 15 = 5 games. For Jenny's total wins, her wins against Mark and Jill are added together for 5 + 9 = 14 wins. The answer is 14.
Question: Tim takes his 3 children trick or treating. They are out for 4 hours. Each hour they visited 5 houses. Each house gives 3 treats per kid. How many treats do his children get in total?

[Question]Kim has 4 dozen shirts. She lets her sister have 1/3 of them. How many shirts does she have left?

Q: It starts raining at 7:00 and pours heavily until its stops at 17:00 on a particular day. On the second day, the rain takes 2 more hours than it took on the first day to stop. On the third day, the rain pours for twice the amount of time it took on the second day. Calculate the total time it was raining in the three days.
A: On the first day, it rained for 17:00 - 7:00 = 10 hours. On the second day, it 10 hours + 2 hours = 12 hours for the rain to stop. It rained for 2 * 12 hours = 24 hours on the third day. In the three days, it was raining for 24 hours + 12 hours + 10 hours = 46 hours. The answer is 46.
Question: The journey from Abel's house to Alice's house is 35 miles and is divided into 5 equal portions. Abel is driving at a speed of 40 miles per hour. After traveling for 0.7 hours, how many portions of the journey has he covered?
Answer:
35 miles into 5 equal portions will be 35 / 5 = 7 miles each. Abel traveled at a speed of 40 miles per hour for 0.7 hours so he will cover 40 * 0.7 = 28 miles. 7 miles make a portion so 28 miles is equivalent to 28 / 7 = 4 portions. The answer is 4.
