Q: Brian has twice as many tennis balls as Frodo, who has 8 more than Lily. If Lily has 3 tennis balls, how many does Brian have?
A: Frodo has 8 tennis balls more than Lily (who has 3), so he has 8 + 3 = 11 tennis balls. Brian has twice as many as Frodo, which makes 11 * 2 = 22 tennis balls. The answer is 22.
Question: When the machine is cold, as it is in the first hour of production, it takes 6 minutes to produce each molded flower pot. Thereafter, once it is warm, it takes only 5 minutes to produce each pot. How many additional pots are produced in the last hour of the day, compared to the first?
Answer: In the first hour, it produces 60 / 6 = 10 pots. In the last hour, it produces 60 / 5 = 12 pots. 12 - 10 = 2 more pots are produced in the last hour. The answer is 2.
[Question]Rene can finish reading 30 pages in 60 minutes. Lulu can read 27 pages in 60 minutes and Cherry can read 25 pages in 60 minutes. If they have been reading for 240 minutes now, how many pages have they finished reading in total?
[Answer]Rene finished 30 x 4 = 120 pages in 240 minutes. Lulu finished 27 x 4 = 108 pages in 240 minutes. Cherry finished 25 x 4 = 100 pages in 240 minutes. Therefore they have finished a total of 120 + 108 + 100 = 328 pages in 240 minutes. The answer is 328.
Q: Kurt's old refrigerator cost $0.85 a day in electricity. He recently bought a new energy-efficient refrigerator that only cost $0.45 a day in electricity. How much money does Kurt save in a 30-day month with his new refrigerator?
A: The old refrigerator costs $0.85 a day so for 30 days it costs .85 * 30 = $25.50. The new refrigerator costs $0.45 a day so for 30 days it costs .45 * 30 = $13.50. Over 30 days, Kurt saves 25.50 - 13.50 = $12.00 a month with his new refrigerator. The answer is 12.
Question: Out of the 120 people who attended the party, 1/3 are men while half are women. The rest are children. How many children attended the party?
Answer: There were 120 / 3 = 40 men at the party. There were 120 / 2 = 60 women at the party. So, there were 40 + 60 = 100 men and women at the party. Thus, 120 - 100 = 20 were children. The answer is 20.
Q: Five food companies sponsored a local food bank. Foster Farms donated 45 dressed chickens; American Summits donated twice the number of bottled water than the number of dressed chicken donated by Foster Farms; Hormel donated three times the number of dressed chickens that Foster Farms donated; Boudin Butchers donated one-third of the number of dressed chickens that Hormel donated; Del Monte Foods donated 30 fewer bottles of water than American Summits. How many food items did the companies donate in total?
A:
American Summits donated 45 x 2 = 90 bottled waters. Hormel donated 45 x 3 = 135 spams. Boudin Bakery donated 135 x 1 / 3 = 45 sourdoughs. Del Monte Foods donated 90 - 30 = 60 canned fruits. Therefore, a total of 45 + 90 + 135 + 45 + 60 = 375 different food. The answer is 375.
