Question: Edward the plumber is replacing a pipe in a bathroom wall. He needs to use 40 feet of copper pipe to complete the job. For every 5 feet of pipe, Edward must use one tightening bolt, and for every bolt, he uses two washers. He buys a bag of 20 washers for the job. After he completes the bathroom job, how many washers will be remaining in the bag?
Answer: If Edward needs to use 1 bolt per every five feet of piping, then for a job requiring 40 - feet of piping, he will use 40 / 5 = 8 tightening bolts. If for every 1 bolt he uses two washers, then he will need 8 * 2 = 16 washers to complete the job. if he buys a bag containing 20 washers, and removes 16, he will have 20 - 16 = 4 washers remaining in the bag. The answer is 4.
[Question]John is a door-to-door salesman. He visits 50 houses a day. 20% of them buy something from them. Of those that buy something half buy a $50 set of knives and the other half buy a $150 set of knives. How much does he sell a week when he works 5 days a week?
[Answer]There are 50 * .2 = 10 houses buying from him per day. Of those 10 / 2 = 5 buy each type of knife set. So he gets 5 * 50 = $250 per day from the cheap set. He also gets 5 * 150 = $750 from the expensive set. So he makes a total of 250 + 750 = $1000 per day. That means he makes 1000 * 5 = $5000. The answer is 5000.
[Question]Sadie, Ariana and Sarah are running a relay race. Each part of the race is a different length and covers different terrain. It takes Sadie 2 hours to run through the forest at an average speed of 3 miles per hour. Ariana sprints across the open field on her section at 6 miles per hour for half an hour. If Sarah runs along the beach at four miles per hour and their total time for the race is four and half hours, what is the total distance of the race?
[Answer]
Sadie ran for 3 miles / hour * 2 hour = 6 miles. Ariana covered a distance of 6 miles / hour * (1 / 2) hour = 3 miles. Sarah ran for 4.5 hours 2 hours 0.5 hours = 2 hours. In this time, Sarah traveled a distance of 4 miles / hour * 2 hours = 8 miles. The total distance for the race was 6 miles + 3 miles + 8 miles = 17 miles. The answer is 17.
