Q: If 1 ounce of Dawn liquid soap can make 200,000 bubbles, and Dr. Bronner's liquid soap can make twice as many bubbles per ounce as Dawn liquid soap, then how many bubbles can be made from one half ounce of an equal mixture of Dawn and Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps?
A: One half of a 1 / 2 - ounce liquid is (1 / 2) * (1 / 2) = 1 / 4 ounces. 1 / 4 ounce of Dawn liquid soap can make (1 / 4) * 200,000 = 50,000 bubbles. 1 / 4 ounce of Dr. Bronner's liquid soap can make 2 * (1 / 4) * 200,000 = 100,000 bubbles. Therefore, a half ounce of an equal mixture of Dawn and Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps can make 50,000 + 100,000 = 150,000 bubbles. The answer is 150000.
Question: Amanda needs 12 more marbles to have twice as many marbles as Katrina, and Mabel has 5 times as many marbles as Katrina. If Mabel has 85 marbles, how many more marbles does Mabel have than Amanda?
Answer: Katrina has 85 / 5 = 17 marbles. Twice as many marbles as Katrina is 17 x 2 = 34. Amanda has 34 - 12 = 22 marbles. Mabel has 85 - 22 = 63 more marbles than Amanda. The answer is 63.
[Question]A taco truck is selling soft tacos for $2 and hard shell tacos for $5 during the lunch rush. The first group of customers is a family that buys four hard shell tacos and three soft tacos. The rest of the customers in the lunch rush only buy two soft tacos each. There were ten customers after the family. How many dollars did the taco truck make during the lunch rush?
[Answer]The taco truck sold 3 + 2 * 10 = 3 + 20 = 23 soft tacos. It made 2 * 23 = $46 from soft tacos. It made 5 * 4 = $20 from hard shell tacos. Thus, the taco truck made 46 + 20 = $66 during the lunch rush. The answer is 66.
Q: Walter wants to serve hushpuppies to his guests for his annual fish fry event. He thinks each guest will eat 5 hushpuppies and he is having 20 guests. He can cook 10 hushpuppies in 8 minutes. How long will it take to cook all of the hushpuppies?
A: He wants to serve 5 hushpuppies to each guest and he is having 20 guests so that's 5 * 20 = 100 hush puppies. He can only cook 10 hushpuppies at a time and he needs to cook 100 hushpuppies so that's 100 / 10 = 10 batches of hushpuppies. Each batch takes 8 minutes to cook and he has 10 batches to cook so it will take him 8 * 10 = 80 minutes. The answer is 80.
Question: The minimum age required to be employed at a company is 25 years. Dara aspires to work for the company and will be half the age of Jane in six years. If Jane is currently working for the company and is 28 years old, how long is it before Dara reaches the minimum age required by the company to be employed?
Answer:
In six years, Jane will be 28 + 6 = 34 years old. Dara will be half the age of Jane in six years, meaning she will be 34 / 2 = 17 years old in six years. Currently, Dara is 17 - 6 = 11 years old. Dara has to wait for 25 - 11 = 14 more years to reach the company's minimum age of employment. The answer is 14.
