Question: The running time of Beast of War: Armoured Command is 10 minutes longer than that of Alpha Epsilon, which is 30 minutes shorter than that of Millennium. If Millennium runs for 2 hours, what is the running time of Beast of War: Armoured Command in minutes?
Answer: One hour contains 60 minutes so 2 hours contain 60 * 2 = 120 minutes. Alpha Epsilon's running time is 30 minutes less than that of Millennium (which runs for 120 minutes) hence 120 - 30 = 90 minutes. Beast of War: Armoured Command runs for 10 minutes more than Alpha Epsilon hence 90 + 10 = 100 minutes. The answer is 100.
[Question]Bill and Ted went into the forest to gather some wild mushrooms. Bill gathered 12 red mushrooms and 6 brown mushrooms. Ted gathered 14 green mushrooms and 6 blue mushrooms. If half of the blue mushrooms, two-thirds of the red mushrooms, and all of the brown mushrooms have white spots, how many white-spotted mushrooms did they gather?
[Answer]Of the 12 red mushrooms, 2 / 3 had spots, for a total of (2 / 3) * 12 = 8 white - spotted mushrooms. Of the 6 brown mushrooms, 100% had spots, for a total of (100 / 100) * 6 = 6 white - spotted mushrooms. Of the 14 green mushrooms, 0% had white spots, for a total of 14 * 0 = 0 white - spotted mushrooms. And of the 6 blue mushrooms, half had spots, for a total of (1 / 2) * 6 = 3 white - spotted mushrooms. In total, they gathered 8 + 6 + 0 + 3 = 17 white - spotted mushrooms. The answer is 17.
[Question]Henrietta is repainting her house. The walls in the living room take up 600 square feet. She has three bedrooms. The walls in each bedroom take up 400 square feet. If one gallon of paint can cover 600 square feet, how many gallons of paint does Henrietta need to paint her house?
[Answer]
The total square footage from the three bedrooms is 3 * 400 = 1200 square feet. The total square footage of the house is 1200 + 600 = 1800 square feet. Henrietta needs 1800 / 600 = 3 gallons of paint. The answer is 3.
