user: Q: Gavin has had 4 dreams every day for a year now. If he had twice as many dreams last year as he had this year, calculate the total number of dreams he's had in the two years.
A: Since a year has 365 days, if Gavin has been having 4 dreams every day for a year now, he has had 4 * 365 = 1460 dreams this year. Gavin had twice as many dreams last as he had this year, meaning he had 2 * 1460 = 2920 dreams last year. The total number of dreams he has had in the two years is 2920 + 1460 = 4380 dreams. The answer is 4380.
Question: Jason and Jeremy want to paint their wall white and agreed to split the cost of the paint. A gallon of paint costs $45 and can cover up to 400 square feet. How much will each of them contribute to the cost of the paint if their walls have a total area of 1600 square feet and will need a second coat?
Answer: They need 1600 square feet / 400 square feet / gallon = 4 gallons of paint for their walls. Since they will do a second coating, then they would need 4 gallons x 2 = 8 gallons in all. Eight gallons of paint will cost $45 / gallon x 8 gallons = $360. Thus, Jason and Jeremy will each contribute $360 / 2 = $180. The answer is 180.
[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]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. The answer is 21.
Q: Jenna works as a truck driver. She gets paid $0.40 cents per mile. If she drives 400 miles one way, how much does she get paid for a round trip?
A: First find the total number of miles Jenna drives: 400 miles / way * 2 ways = 800 miles. Then multiply that number by her pay per mile to find her total pay: 800 miles * $0.40 / mile = $320. The answer is 320.
Question: Marissa is serving her kids lunch. Each kid gets a burger with 400 calories and 5 carrot sticks with 20 calories each, and some cookies with 50 calories each. Marissa wants each kid to eat a total of 750 calories for lunch. How many cookies does each kid get?
Answer: First figure out how many total calories come from the carrots by multiplying the calories per carrot by the number of carrots: 20 calories / carrot * 5 carrots = 100 calories. Then subtract the calories the kids have already eaten from the goal number of calories to find out how many more total calories they should eat: 750 calories - 400 calories - 100 calories = 250 calories. Then divide the total number of calories by the calories per cookie to find the number of cookies each kid gets: 250 calories / 50 calories / cookie = 5 cookies. The answer is 5.
