[Question]Mark collects money for the homeless. He visits 20 households a day for 5 days and half of those households give him a pair of 20s. How much did he collect?
[Answer]He got money from 20 / 2 = 10 households per day. So that means he got money from 10 * 5 = 50 households. Each of those houses gave 20 * 2 = $40. So he raised 40 * 50 = $2000. The answer is 2000.
Q: Marlon had 42 lollipops in the beginning. On his way home, he saw Emily and gave her 2/3 of his lollipops. Then, Marlon kept 4 lollipops and gave the rest to Lou. How many lollipops did Lou receive?
A: Marlon gave Emily 42 x 2 / 3 = 28 lollipops. So, he only had 42 - 28 = 14 lollipops left. After keeping 4, Marlon gave 14 - 4 = 10 lollipops to Lou. The answer is 10.
Question: Two birds making a nest each made 10 round trips collecting building materials. If the building materials were located 200 miles from where they were building the nest, what is the total distance the birds covered in the trips?
Answer: In one round trip, traveling to and from the building materials location, one bird covers 2 * 200 = 400 miles. If in one round trip one bird covers 400 miles, in 10 round trips, it covers 400 * 10 = 4000 miles. Since there were two birds collecting the materials, they covered a combined 4000 + 4000 = 8000 miles collecting the building materials in 10 round trips. The answer is 8000.
[Question]Nancy and Jason are learning to dance for the first time. Nancy steps on her partner's feet 3 times as often as Jason. If together they step on each other's feet 32 times, how many times does Jason step on his partner's feet?
[Answer]Let n be the number of times Nancy steps on her partner's feet and j be the number of times Jason does. We know that n = 3j and n + j = 32. Substituting the first equation into the second equation, we get 3j + j = 32. Combining like terms, we get 4j = 32. Dividing both sides by 4, we get j = 8. The answer is 8.
Q: Two friends, Hubert and Ian, are planning to have a pizza party. One box of pizza is worth $14, and a can of soda is worth $1.80. Hubert orders eight boxes of pizza and ten cans of soda. Ian buys ten boxes of pizza and fifteen cans of soda. How much do they spend in all?
A: The number of boxes of pizza is 8 + 10 = 18 boxes. The number of cans of soda is 10 + 15 = 25 cans. The eighteen boxes of pizza cost 18 x $14 = $252. The cost of 25 cans of soda is 25 x $1.80 = $45. Therefore, the total amount they spend is $252 + $45 = $297. The answer is 297.
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?
Answer:
First find the total rise time: 120 minutes * 2 = 240 minutes. Then add the rise time to the baking and kneading time: 240 minutes + 10 minutes + 30 minutes = 280 minutes. The answer is 280.
