Missy watches 5 28-minute reality shows and one 10-minute cartoon. How long does she spend watching TV? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. First find the total time Missy spends watching reality shows: 5 shows * 28 minutes / show = 140 minutes. Then add that amount to the time she spends watching the cartoon: 140 minutes + 10 minutes = 150 minutes.. The answer is: 150.

James wants to learn to become a chess grandmaster. It takes 2 hours to learn the rules. It then takes him 49 times that long to get a level of proficiency to start playing in local tournaments. After that, he devotes his life to chess and spends 100 times as much as the combined time to get proficient to becoming a master. How much total time did he spend? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. It takes him 2 * 49 = 98 hours to go from knowing how to play to proficient. So he spends 98 + 2 = 100 hours combined on those. So it takes him 100 * 100 = 10,000 hours to become a master from proficient. So the total time was 100 + 10000 = 10,100 hours.. The answer is: 10100.
