Question: The ratio of boys to girls in a family is 5:7. The total number of children in the family is 180. If the boys are given $3900 to share, how much money does each boy receive?
Answer: The total ratio representing the number of children in the family is 5 + 7 = 12. From the total ratio of children in the family, 5 / 12 represent the number of boys, meaning that the number of boys in the family is 5 / 12 * 180 = 75. If the boys are given $3900 to share, each boy receives $3900 / 75 = $52. The answer is 52.
[Question]Caden has four jars of coins. One jar of pennies, one jar of nickels, one jar of dimes and one jar of quarters. He has twice as many quarters as he does dimes. He has five times as many nickels as he does dimes. He has three times as many pennies as he does nickels. If he has 120 pennies, how much money does he have?
[Answer]Starting with 120 pennies he has $1.20. If he has three times as many pennies as he does nickels, he has 120 pennies / 3 nickels per penny = 40 nickels. 40 nickels = 40 * $0.05 = $2. If he has five times as many nickels as dimes he has 40 nickels / 5 dimes per nickel = 8 dimes. 8 * $0.10 = $0.80. if he has twice as many quarters than he does dimes, he has 8 dimes * 2 quarters per dime = 16 quarters = 16 * $ 0.25 = $4.00. In all he has $1.20 + $2.00 + $0.80 + $4.00 = $8.00. The answer is 8.
Q: Chandra is going on a monster hunt. After a big storm, there have been lost monsters all around the castle grounds for the last 5 days. Chandra wants to rope them all up and return them to the swamps where they will be the most comfortable. On the first day she saw 2 monsters near the castle walls. Every day after that she saw double the amount as the day before. After 5 days how many monsters does she need to lead back to the swamps?
A: On the first day Chandra saw 2 monsters and on day 2 she saw twice that amount, 2 x 2 = 4 monsters seen on day 2. On day 3 she saw double that amount of monsters, 4 x 2 = 8. On day 4 she saw double that amount of monsters, 8 x 2 = 16. On day 5 she saw double that amount of monsters, 16 x 2 = 32. Altogether Chandra saw 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 lost monsters = 62 total lost monsters that Chandra needs to lead back to the swamps. The answer is 62.
