[Question]Ice cream costs $2.00 and toppings cost $0.50 per topping. How much does a sundae with 10 toppings cost?
[Answer]First find the total cost of the toppings: 10 toppings * $0.50 / topping = $5.00. Then add that amount to the cost of the ice cream: $5.00 + $2.00 = $7.00. The answer is 7.
Q: Twelve coworkers go out for lunch together and order three pizzas. Each pizza is cut into eight slices. If each person gets the same number of slices, how many slices will each person get?
A: The total number of slices is 3 8 = 24. Every one of the colleagues gets 24 / 12 = 2 slices per person. The answer is 2.
Question: A man divides 3 hectares of land evenly among his 8 sons. If every 750m^2 of this land can be used to make a profit of $500 from every 3 months of commercial farming, how much can each son make if they cultivate their share of the land for one year(1 hectare is equal to 10000 m^2)?
Answer: There are 10000m^2 in each hectare, so 3 hectares contains 3 * 10000 = 30000m^2 of land. 30000m^2 is divided among 8 sons so each son will get 30000 / 8 = 3750m^2. In every 3750m^2, there are 3750 / 750 = 5 portions of 750m^2 areas of land. Each son can make 5 * $500 = $2500 every 3 months from cultivating their share. In one year there are 12 months so each son can make $2500 up to 12 / 3 = 4 times in a year. Each son can make a total of $2500 * 4 = $10000 in a year. The answer is 10000.
[Question]Daniel practices basketball for 15 minutes each day during the school week. He practices twice as long each day on the weekend. How many minutes does he practice during a whole week?
[Answer]Daniel practices for a total of 15 x 5 = 75 minutes during the school week. He practices 15 x 2 = 30 minutes each day on the weekend. So, he practices a total of 30 x 2 = 60 minutes on the weekend. Thus, Daniel practices for a total of 75 + 60 = 135 minutes during a whole week. The answer is 135.
Q: A road has four intersections. At the first intersection, there are 40 road signs showing different types of information mounted on the street poles. At the second intersection, 1/4 times more road signs than the first intersection are mounted on the street poles. The number of road signs at the third intersection is twice the number at the second intersection. If at the fourth intersection the number of road signs is 20 fewer than those at the third intersection, calculate the total number of road signs at the four intersections.
A: There are 1 / 4 * 40 = 10 more road signs at the second intersection than the first intersection. This means there are 40 + 10 = 50 road signs at the second intersection. The total number of road signs at the first and second intersection is 50 + 40 = 90. The third intersection has twice the number of road signs at the second intersection, meaning there are 2 * 50 = 100 road signs. The total number of road signs at first to the third intersection is 90 + 100 = 190 road signs. At the fourth intersection, the number is 20 fewer than at the third intersection, meaning there are 100 - 20 = 80 road signs. All four road intersections have 190 + 80 = 270 road signs in total. The answer is 270.
Question: Last year, Peter organized a Fun Run for his community project and 200 people signed up. Forty people did not show up to run. This year, there will be twice as many runners as last year. How many people will run this year?
Answer:
There were 200 - 40 = 160 runners last year. Therefore, there will be 2 x 160 = 320 runners this year. The answer is 320.
