[Question]It takes Jerome 6 hours to run the trail around the park and it takes Nero 3 hours. If Jerome runs at 4 MPH, what speed (in MPH) does Nero run in the park?
[Answer]You can find the distance of Jerome's run by multiplying the time he spends running by his speed: 4 miles / hour * 6 hours = 24 miles. Then find Nero's speed by dividing the distance he runs by the time he spends running: 24 miles / 3 hours = 8 miles / hour. The answer is 8.
Q: Gilbert grows herbs in his yard to use in his cooking. At the beginning of the spring, he planted three basil bushes, a parsley plant, and two kinds of mint. Halfway through spring, one of the basil plants dropped seeds from a flower and made an extra basil plant grow. However, a rabbit came by the garden near the end of spring and ate all the mint. How many herb plants did Gilbert have when spring ended?
A: Gilbert planted 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 herb plants. He gained a basil plant when one of the basil plants seeded a new plant, so he had 6 + 1 = 7 plants. The rabbit ate both mint plants, so Gilbert had 7 - 2 = 5 herb plants when spring ended. The answer is 5.
Question: Carrie wants to take a trip to New York. She can get a 20% discount on an $850 flight with Delta Airlines. She can also save 30% off an $1100 flight with United Airlines. How much money would she save by choosing the cheapest flight?
Answer: The discount for the Delta flight would come to $850 * 0.20 = $170. The final price of the Delta flight would come to $850 - $170 = $680. The discount of the United flight would come to $1100 * 0.30 = $330. The final price of the United flight would come to $1100 - $330 = $770. The Delta flight would be cheaper than the United flight by $770 - $680 = $90. The answer is 90.
[Question]Fabian has three times more marbles than Kyle and five times more than Miles. If Fabian has 15 marbles, how many marbles do Kyle and Miles have together?
[Answer]Kyle has a third of Fabian's number of marbles, so he has 15 / 3 = 5 marbles. Miles has a fifth of Fabian's number of marbles, so he has 15 / 5 = 3 marbles. Miles and Kyle together have 5 + 3 = 8 marbles. The answer is 8.

Question: Austin is a surfer. He took a trip to the beach during surfing season and the highest wave he caught was two feet higher than four times his height. The shortest wave he caught was four feet higher than his height. The shortest wave was three feet higher than his 7-foot surfboard is long. How tall was the highest wave Austin caught?
Answer:
The shortest wave was 7 + 3 = 10 feet tall. Austin is 10 - 4 = 6 feet tall. Thus, the highest wave Austin caught was 6 * 4 + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26 feet tall. The answer is 26.
