Q: Gloria has five times as many dimes as quarters in her graduation money. She decides to put 2/5 of the quarters aside for future use. If she has 350 dimes, calculate the combined number of quarters and dimes she has after putting aside 2/5 of the quarters?
A: If the number of dimes is 20 times the number of quarters, she has 350 / 5 = 70 quarters. When she puts 2 / 5 of the quarters away, the number of quarters reduces by 2 / 5 * 70 = 28. She's now left with 70 - 28 = 42 quarters. In total, she has 42 quarters + 350 dimes = 392. The answer is 392.
Question: Jerry is cutting up wood for his wood-burning stove. Each pine tree makes 80 logs, each maple tree makes 60 logs, and each walnut tree makes 100 logs. If Jerry cuts up 8 pine trees, 3 maple trees, and 4 walnut trees, how many logs does he get?
Answer: First find the total number of pine logs by multiplying the number of trees by the number of logs per tree: 80 logs / pine * 8 pines = 640 logs. Then do the same thing for the maple trees: 60 logs / maple * 3 maples = 180 logs. And do the same thing for the walnut trees: 100 logs / walnut * 4 walnuts = 400 logs. Finally, add up the number of logs from each type of tree to find the total number: 640 logs + 180 logs + 400 logs = 1220 logs. The answer is 1220.
[Question]Mark is baking bread. He has to let it rise for 120 minutes twice. He also needs to spend 10 minutes kneading it and 30 minutes baking it. How many minutes does it take Mark to finish making the bread?
