Question: When doing her exercises, Mairead runs for 40 miles, walks for 3/5 times as many miles as she ran, and walks for five times the number of miles she jogged. Calculate the total distance Mairead has covered while doing her exercises.
Answer: Since the distance that Mairead jogged is 3 / 5 times the miles she ran, she jogged for 3 / 5 * 40 = 24 miles. The total distance that she covered while running and jogging is 24 + 40 = 64. She also walked for 5 * 24 = 120 miles for her exercise. She covered 120 + 64 = 184 miles while doing her exercise. The answer is 184.
[Question]Marco has $24. Mary has $15. If Marco gives Mary half of what he has, Mary will have more than Marco. But Mary spends $5. How much more money does Mary have than Marco?
[Answer]Half of what Marco has is $24 / 2 = $12. If he gives Mary $12, she has $12 + $15 = $27. Now subtract the money Mary spends: $27 - $5 = $22. Now subtract Marco's money from Mary's remaining money, $22 - $12 = $10. The answer is 10.
Q: Eliza has 4 siblings. The total height of all 5 siblings combined is 330 inches. Two of her siblings are both 66 inches tall. Another sibling is 60 inches tall. If Eliza is 2 inches shorter than the last sibling, how tall is Eliza?
A: The first three siblings are 66 + 66 + 60 = 192 inches tall. Since the total of all the siblings is 330 inches, Eliza and the last sibling are 330 - 192 = 138 inches tall combined. If Eliza's height = h, 138 inches = h + (h + 2). (138 - 2) / 2 = 68 inches. Eliza is 68 inches tall. The answer is 68.
Question: A shopkeeper bought 150 packets of milk. Each packet contained 250 ml of milk. If one fluid ounce is equal to 30 ml, how many ounces of milk did he buy?
Answer: If the shopkeeper bought 150 packets of milk, each packet containing 250ml of milk, all the packets had a total of 250 * 150 = 37500ml. Since one ounce equal 30 ml, the total amount of milk that the shopkeeper bought in oz is 37500 / 30 = 1250 oz of milk. The answer is 1250.
[Question]Barry wants to make a huge salad using only cucumbers and tomatoes. He will use a total of 280 pieces of vegetables. If there are thrice as many tomatoes as cucumbers, how many cucumbers will be used in the salad?
[Answer]Let c be the number of cucumbers and t the number of tomatoes. The total is the sum of the number of cucumbers and that of tomatoes, which is c + t = 280 piece of vegetables. Since there are thrice as many tomatoes as cucumbers, this means c = t / 3. Therefore 3 * c = t. The sum will therefore be c + 3 * c = 280 pieces of vegetables. This means that 4 * c = 280 vegetables. Therefore c = 280 / 4 = 70 cucumbers. The answer is 70.
[Question]We the People has 17 cows. Happy Good Healthy Family has two more than three times the number of cows We the People has. If their cows are taken to a ranch to graze together, how many cows will be in the ranch altogether?
[Answer]
Three times the number of cows We the People has is 3 * 17 = 51 cows. Happy Good Healthy Family has two more than three times the number of cows We the People has, a total of 51 + 2 = 53 cows. If the cows are taken to a ranch to graze together, their total will be 53 + 17 = 70 cows. The answer is 70.
