[Question]Lolita can drink 3 boxes of milk during weekdays. During Saturdays, she can drink twice the number of boxes of milk than on the weekdays, and during Sundays, she can drink thrice the number of boxes of milk than on the weekdays. How many boxes of milk does she drink per week?
[Answer]She can drink 3 x 5 = 15 boxes of milk during weekdays. She can drink 3 x 2 = 6 boxes of milk on Saturdays. She can also drink 3 x 3 = 9 boxes of milk during Sundays. Therefore, Lolita can drink 15 + 6 + 9 = 30 boxes of milk per week. The answer is 30.
Q: Miriam has five times as many albums as Katrina. Katrina has six times the number of albums as Bridget. Bridget has 15 fewer albums than Adele. How many albums do they have together if Adele has 30 albums?
A: Since Adele has 30 albums, and Bridget has 15 fewer, Bridget has 30 - 15 = 15 albums. Together, Bridget and Adele has 30 + 15 = 45 albums. Katrina has six times the number of albums as Bridget, a total of 15 * 6 = 90 albums. Adele, Bridget, and Katrina have a total of 90 + 45 = 135 albums together. Miriam has five times the number of albums as Katrina, a total of 5 * 90 = 450 albums. Together, Adele, Bridget, Katrina, and Miriam have 135 + 450 = 585 albums. The answer is 585.
