Question: A tank contains 6000 liters of water, 2000 liters evaporated, and then 3500 liters were drained by Bob. How many liters are in the tank if it now rains for 30 minutes and every 10 minutes 350 liters of rain are added to the tank?
Answer: After the first evaporation, the water tank has 6000 liters - 2000 liters = 4000 liters. After the second extraction, the water tank has 4000 liters - 3500 liters = 500 liters. The tank is refilled with rain 30 minutes / 10 minutes = 3 times. The amount of water refilled with rain is 3 times * 350 liters per time = 1050 liters. With the additional rainwater, the water tank has 500 liters + 1050 liters = 1550 liters. The answer is 1550.

Q: Amber is baking cakes for her party. She has invited 8 friends and each one will want two slices of cake. Each cake makes 6 slices. If she bakes 4 cakes, how many slices will be left over at the end if she eats three herself?
A: Her friends will eat 16 slices of cake because 8 x 2 = 16. There will be 19 slices eaten in total because 16 + 3 = 19. She is making 24 slices of cake because 4 x 6 = 24. There will be 5 pieces left over because 24 - 19 = 5. The answer is 5.
Question: John takes 3 naps a week. Each nap is 2 hours long. In 70 days how many hours of naps does he take?

Q: Martha needs to paint all four walls in her 12 foot by 16 foot kitchen, which has 10 foot high ceilings. Each wall needs one coat of primer and two coats of paint. If Martha can paint 40 square feet per hour, how many hours will it take her to paint the kitchen?
A:
There are two walls that are 12' X 10' and two walls that are 16' by 10'. First find the size in square feet of one 12' x 10' wall by multiplying the height and length: 12 ft * 10 ft = 120 sq ft. Multiply that quantity by 2 since there are two 12' x 10' walls: 120 sq ft * 2 = 240 sq ft. Then find the size in square feet of one 16' x 10' wall by multiplying the height and length: 16 ft * 10 ft = 160 sq ft. Multiply that quantity by 2 since there are two 16' x 10' walls: 160 sq ft * 2 = 320 sq ft. Now add the square footage of both sets of walls to find the total square footage Martha needs to paint: 240 sq ft + 320 sq ft = 560 sq ft. Now multiply that amount by 3 because Martha needs to add 3 coats: 560 sq ft / coat * 3 coats = 1680 sq ft. Finally, divide the total square footage by Martha's painting rate to find how many hours she needs to finish: 1680 sq ft / 40 sq ft / hour = 42 hours. The answer is 42.
