Q: Camila has only gone hiking 7 times in her life. Amanda has gone on 8 times as many hikes as Camila, and Steven has gone on 15 more hikes than Amanda. If Camila wants to say that she has hiked as many times as Steven and plans to go on 4 hikes a week, how many weeks would it take Camila to achieve her goal?
A: Amanda has gone on 7 hikes x 8 = 56 hikes. Steven has gone on 56 hikes + 15 hikes = 71 hikes. Camila needs to go on another 71 hikes - 7 hikes = 64 hikes. Camila will achieve her goal in 64 hikes / 4 hikes / week = 16 weeks. The answer is 16.
Question: Vanessa wants to buy a dress she saw at the mall, which costs $80, and she already has $20 in savings. Her parents give her $30 every week, but she also spends $10 each weekend at the arcades. How many weeks will she have to wait until she can gather enough money to buy the dress?
Answer: Vanessa needs $80 $20 = $60 to buy the dress. She manages to gather $30 - $10 = $20 each week. The number of weeks she has to wait is 60 20 = 3 weeks. The answer is 3.
[Question]It takes Omar 12 minutes to raise his kite 240 feet into the air. Jasper can raise his kite at three times the rate of speed as Omar can raise his kite. If Jasper raises his kite to a height of 600 feet, how many minutes will it take?
[Answer]Jasper raises his kite at a rate of 240 feet in 12 minutes, or 240 / 12 = 20 feet per minute. Jasper raises his kite at three times the speed Omar does, or 3 * 20 = 60 feet per minute. To raise his kite 600 feet, it will take Jasper 600 / 60 = 10 minutes. The answer is 10.
Q: Iris' family is planning a surprise birthday party for her. The party will include her 3 uncles and 4 aunts who have a son and daughter each as well as her brother and mother. In total, how many people are coming to Iris' birthday party?
A: Each of her aunts and uncles have a family unit of 1 son + 1 daughter + 1 aunt / uncle = 3 people. Iris has a total of 3 uncles + 4 aunts = 7 aunts or uncles in these family units. So among her aunts, uncles, and cousins, there will be 7 family units * 3 people in each family unit = 21 people. Including her mother and brother, there will be a total of 21 people + 1 mother + 1 brother = 23 people coming to her party. The answer is 23.

Answer: When Tucker buys the tissue boxes, he has a total of 160 x 3 = 480 tissues. When he is sick with the flu and uses some of the tissues, he has 480 - 210 = 270 tissues left. The answer is 270.
Q: Jonas is trying to expand his wardrobe. He has 20 pairs of socks, 5 pairs of shoes, 10 pairs of pants and 10 t-shirts. How many pairs of socks does he need to buy to double the number of individual items in his wardrobe?
A:
First, we must recognize that all pairs of shoes and socks are actually two items each, whereas the pants and the t - shirts are individual items. Therefore there are 20 * 2 = 40 individual socks in 20 pairs of socks. Similarly, there are 5 * 2 = 10 individual shoes in 5 pairs of shoes. Therefore, Jonas has 40 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 70 individual items in his collection. To double this number, we perform 70 * 2 = 140. This means we need 140 - 70 = 70 new items to double the size. Since there are 2 individual socks in each pair, we take 70 / 2 = 35 new pairs of socks. The answer is 35.
