Question: Flynn watches 30 minutes of tv every night during the weekdays. On the weekends, she watches an additional 2 hours of TV in total. How many hours of tv does she watch in 52 weeks?
Answer: She watches 30 minutes of tv per night, 5 days a week so that's 30 * 5 = 150 minutes of tv. She watches 2 hours of tv on the weekends and 60 minutes are in 1 hour so that's 2 * 60 = 120 minutes of tv. All total she watches 150 + 120 = 270 minutes of tv per week. There are 52 weeks in a year and she watches 270 minutes per week so that's 52 * 270 = 14,040 minutes of tv per year. She watches 14,040 minutes of tv and 60 minutes are in an hour so she watches 14040 / 60 = 234 hours. The answer is 234.
[Question]Suzanna's history textbook has 160 pages and her geography textbook has 70 more pages. Her math textbook has half of the sum of the first two books' pages, and her science textbook has twice the number of pages of her history textbook. If Suzanna stacks all her textbooks on her desk, how many pages would there be in total?
[Answer]Her geography textbook has 160 + 70 = 230 pages. The sum of pages of her history and geography textbook is 160 + 230 = 390 pages. Her math textbook has 390 / 2 = 195 pages. Her science textbook has 160 x 2 = 320 pages. In total, there would be 160 + 230 + 195 + 320 = 905 pages. The answer is 905.
Q: Carla adds a can of chilis, two cans of beans, and 50% more tomatoes than beans to a normal batch of chili. If she makes a quadruple batch, how many cans of food does she need?
A: First find the number of cans of tomatoes in a normal batch of chili: 2 cans * 150% = 3 cans. Then add the number of cans of each type of food to find the total number of cans per batch: 3 cans + 2 cans + 1 can = 6 cans. Then multiply the number of cans per batch by the number of batches to find the total number of cans: 6 cans / batch * 4 batches = 24 cans. The answer is 24.

Q: Jamal bought 4 half dozen colored crayons at $2 per crayon. What was the total cost of the crayons that she bought?
A:
Since a dozen has 12 items, a half dozen has 1 / 2 * 12 = 6 items. Since Jamal bought four half dozen colored crayons, he bought 4 * 6 = 24 colored crayons. If each crayon's cost was $2, Jamal paid $2 * 24 = $48 for all the crayons he bought. The answer is 48.
