[Question]Bobby buys two packets of candy. He eats two candies every day from Monday through Friday and takes one each during the remaining days of the week. If it takes him 3 such weeks to finish the 2 packets, how many candies are in a packet?
[Answer]He eats 2 each from Monday through Friday for a total of 2 * 5 = 10 candies. He eats 1 each every other day of the week (Saturday and Sunday) for a total of 1 * 2 = 2 candies. In a week, he consumes a total of 10 + 2 = 12 candies. Doing this for 3 weeks, he will consume 3 * 12 = 36 candies. If 2 packets contain 36 candies, then 1 contains 36 / 2 = 18 candies. The answer is 18.
Q: Angelo and Melanie want to plan how many hours over the next week they should study together for their test next week. They have 2 chapters of their textbook to study and 4 worksheets to memorize. They figure out that they should dedicate 3 hours to each chapter of their textbook and 1.5 hours for each worksheet. If they plan to study no more than 4 hours each day, how many days should they plan to study total over the next week if they take a 10-minute break every hour, include 3 10-minute snack breaks each day, and 30 minutes for lunch each day?
A: Angelo and Melanie think they should dedicate 3 hours to each of the 2 chapters, 3 hours x 2 chapters = 6 hours total. For the worksheets they plan to dedicate 1.5 hours for each worksheet, 1.5 hours x 4 worksheets = 6 hours total. Angelo and Melanie need to start with planning 12 hours to study, at 4 hours a day, 12 / 4 = 3 days. However, they need to include time for breaks and lunch. Every hour they want to include a 10 - minute break, so 12 total hours x 10 minutes = 120 extra minutes for breaks. They also want to include 3 10 - minute snack breaks, 3 x 10 minutes = 30 minutes. And they want to include 30 minutes for lunch each day, so 120 minutes for breaks + 30 minutes for snack breaks + 30 minutes for lunch = 180 minutes, or 180 / 60 minutes per hour = 3 extra hours. So Angelo and Melanie want to plan 12 hours to study + 3 hours of breaks = 15 hours total. They want to study no more than 4 hours each day, 15 hours / 4 hours each day = 3.75. They will need to plan to study 4 days to allow for all the time they need. The answer is 4.
Question: Emberly takes her mornings walks every day. If each walk takes her 1 hour covering 4 miles, and she didn't walk for 4 days in March, calculate the total number of miles she's walked.
Answer: In March, she walked for 31 - 4 = 27 days. If she walks for an hour a day, the total number of hours she'll walk in March is 27 days * 1 hour a day = 27 hours. If each walk is 4 miles, the number of miles she walked in March is 27 * 4 = 108 miles. The answer is 108.
