Q: At the polar bear club, Jerry and his three friends, Elaine, George, and Kramer, took turns jumping into a swimming pool filled with freezing-cold water. Jerry was in the pool for 3 minutes before becoming too cold to remain in the cold water. Elaine stayed in the pool for twice as long as Jerry. George could only stay in the pool for one-third as long as Elaine. And Kramer, who accidentally locked himself in the bathroom, could not find the pool. What is the combined total of minutes that Jerry and his friends were in the cold water?
A: Elaine was in the pool for 2 * 3 = 6 minutes. George was in the pool for 6 / 3 = 2 minutes. Kramer never found the pool and thus swam for 0 minutes. In total, Jerry and his friend were in the cold water for 3 + 6 + 2 + 0 = 11 minutes. The answer is 11.
Question: Audrey was asleep for 10 hours last night and dreamed for 2/5 of the time. How much of the night was she not dreaming?
Answer: If Audrey was asleep for 10 hours last night and dreamed for 2 / 5 of the time, she dreamed for 2 / 5 * 10 = 4 hours. The total time Audrey slept without dreaming is 10 - 4 = 6 hours. The answer is 6.
[Question]A bathroom has 10 6 inch tiles along its width and 20 6 inch tiles along its length. What is the square footage of the bathroom?
[Answer]There are 10 tiles that are 6 inches long running the width of the bathroom so it is 10 * 6 = 60 inches long. There are 12 inches in a foot and it’s 60 inches wide so it is 60 / 12 = 5 feet wide. There are 20 tiles that are 6 inches long running the length of the bathroom so it’s 20 * 6 = 120 inches long. There are 12 inches in a foot and it’s 120 inches long so it is 120 / 12 = 10 feet wide. The square footage is l x w so the bathroom has 10 * 5 = 50 sq feet. The answer is 50.
Q: Linda's bag has 2 dimes, 6 quarters, and 5 nickels. Her mother gives her 2 more dimes, 10 quarters, and twice as many nickels as she has. How many coins does she have altogether?
A: When Linda's mother gave her 2 more dimes, the total number of dimes increased to 2 + 2 = 4 dimes. She also increased the total number of quarters to 6 + 10 = 16 after her mother gave her 10 more. The total number of dimes and quarters she has is 16 + 4 = 20. Linda's mother also gave her twice as many nickels as she has, a total of 2 * 5 = 10 nickels. The total number of nickels she has increased to 10 + 5 = 15. Altogether, Linda has 20 + 15 = 35 coins. The answer is 35.

Q: A pound of strawberries costs $2.20 and a pound of cherries costs 6 times as much as strawberries. If Briget will buy 5 pounds of strawberries and 5 pounds of cherries, how much will it cost?
A:
