Question: Miles is going to spend 1/6 of a day reading. He will read comic books, graphic novels, and novels. He reads 21 pages an hour when he reads novels, 30 pages an hour when he reads graphic novels, and 45 pages an hour when he reads comic books. If he reads each for 1/3 of his time, how many pages does he read?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Miles will read for 4 hours because 24 x (1 / 6) = 4. He will read each type for 1 and 1 / 3 hours because 4 / 3 = 1 and 1 / 3. He will read 28 pages of novels because 21 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 28. He will read 40 pages of graphic novels because 30 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 40. He will read 60 pages of comic books because 45 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 60. He will read 128 pages in total because 28 + 40 + 60 = 128.
So the answer is 128.

Question: Addilynn went to the grocery store and bought six dozen eggs for use in her house. After two weeks, she used half of the eggs, then accidentally broke 15 of the remaining eggs while moving them to clean the shelves. How many eggs are left on the shelf?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Since a dozen has 12 eggs, the total number of eggs that Addilynn bought is 6 dozen * 12 eggs / dozen = 72 eggs. If she used half of the eggs, the number of eggs left is 72 eggs / 2 = 36 eggs. While moving the eggs to clean the shelves, she broke 15 eggs, leaving 36 eggs - 15 eggs = 21 eggs.
So the answer is 21.

Question: A company hires employees on a contract basis, depending on the availability of work. In a particular month, they hired 200 more employees on the first week than on the second week, and 150 fewer employees on the second week than on the third week. If the number of employees hired on the fourth week was twice the number hired in the third week, and the number of employees on the fourth week was 400, what's the average number of employees hired per week?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The fourth week had twice the number of employees as the third week, so 400 / 2 = 200 employees on the third week. In the third week, they hired 150 fewer employees than on the second week, that is 200 - 150 = 50 employees hired on the second week. The first week had 200 more hirings than the second week, that is 50 + 200 = 250 employees. The total number of employees hired is 250 + 50 + 200 + 400 = 900. The average number of employees hired per week is 900 / 4 = 225 employees.
So the answer is 225.

Question: Nancy can hula hoop for 10 minutes. Casey can hula hoop 3 minutes less than Nancy. Morgan can hula hoop three times as long as Casey. How long can Morgan hula hoop?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Casey can hula hoop 3 minutes less than Nancy so she can hula hoop for 10 - 3 = 7 minutes. Morgan can hula hoop three times as long as Casey, who can hula hoop for 7 minutes, so she can hula hoop for 3 * 7 = 21 minutes.
So the answer is 21.
