Question: Titan's father has an onion farm ready for harvest. He borrows Mr. Clay's pickup and transports the harvest to their store, carrying ten bags per trip, prepared for sale. If the onions are in 50 kgs bags, and the pickup makes 20 trips, what's the total weight of onions harvested by Titan's father?
Answer: On one trip, the pickup carries 10 bags * 50 kg / bag = 500kg of onions. After 20 trips, the total weight of onions transported to the store is 20 trips * 500 kg / trip = 10000 kgs. The answer is 10000.
[Question]James decides to start making his own coffee. He buys a coffee machine for $200 and gets a $20 discount. He figures it will cost him $3 a day to make his coffee. He previously bought 2 coffees a day for $4 each.  How long until the machine pays for itself?
[Answer]He bought the machine for $200 - $20 = $180. He used to spend 4 * 2 = $8 a day. So he saves $8 - $3 = $5 a day. So it will take him $180 / $5 = 36 days to pay for itself. The answer is 36.
Q: Cordelia is dyeing her hair red. To get the color she wants, she first has to bleach her dark brown hair to blonde, and then she has to apply the dye. The whole process will take 9 hours. Dyeing takes twice as long as bleaching. How many hours will it take Cordelia to bleach her hair?
A: Let H be the number of hours it takes Cordelia to bleach her hair. A dye treatment takes twice as long, so it takes 2H. Thus, bleaching and dying will take H + 2H = 3H = 9 hours. Therefore, it will take Cordelia H = 9 / 3 = 3 hours to bleach her hair. The answer is 3.
Question: Tanesha needs to buy rope so cut into 10 pieces that are each six inches long. She sees a 6-foot length of rope that cost $5 and also sees 1-foot lengths of rope that cost $1.25 each. What is the least she has to spend to get the rope she needs?
Answer: She needs 60 inches of rope because 10 x 6 equals 60. The six - foot length of rope is 72 inches long because 6 x 12 = 72. The six - foot length of rope would give her 12 pieces because 72 / 6 = 12. The six - foot length is long enough because 12 > 10. Each 1 - foot rope equals 12 inches. She would need 5 of the 1 - foot ropes because 60 / 12 = 5. If she bought one - foot ropes it would cost $6.25 because 5 x 1.25 = 6.25. The cheapest rope to buy is the 6 - foot rope because 5 < 6.25. The answer is 5.
[Question]Marla is mixing a particular shade of lilac that's 70% blue paint, 20% red paint, and the rest white paint. If she adds 140 ounces of blue paint, how many ounces of white paint does she add?
[Answer]First find the total amount of paint Marla mixes by dividing the amount of blue paint by the percentage of the paint that's blue: 140 ounces / .7 = 200 ounces. Then multiply the total amount of paint by the percentage that's white to find the number of white ounces: 200 ounces * 10% = 20 ounces. The answer is 20.
[Question]The number of cards in a card game was 500. Two friends Ellis and Orion, playing together, divided the cards in the ratio of 11:9. How many more cards did Ellis get than Orion?
[Answer]
The total ratio representing the 500 cards is 11 + 9 = 20. The fraction of the total ratio that represents the number of cards that Ellis got is 11 / 20, and since there were 500 cards, Ellis got 11 / 20 * 500 = 275. If there were 500 cards, and Ellis received 275 cards, Orion received 500 - 275 = 225 cards. The number of cards that Ellis received more than Orion is 275 - 225 = 50 cards. The answer is 50.
