Question: Max loves to play video games. He played for 2 hours on Wednesday and the same time on Thursday. On Friday his friends came to play together with him, so Max spent over three hours more on playing than on Wednesday. How many hours on average has Max spent playing video games during these three days?
Answer: Max played on Friday three hours more than on Wednesday, so he played for 2 + 3 = 5 hours. In total he played 2 + 2 + 5 = 9 hours. He was playing for three days, so on average, he spent 9 / 3 = 3 hours playing video games every day. The answer is 3.
[Question]Part of Stella's job is to restock the toilet paper in each of the 6 bathrooms at the bed and breakfast. She stocks 1 roll a day, every day of the week. She buys the toilet paper in bulk, and each pack contains 1 dozen rolls. After 4 weeks, how many packs of toilet paper dozen Stella buy?
[Answer]She stocks one roll in each of the 6 bathrooms, every day of the week so that 6 * 7 = 42 rolls a week. She restocks 42 rolls a week so after 4 weeks that's 42 * 4 = 168 rolls. The bulk toilet paper comes 1 dozen rolls in a pack and she needs 168 rolls so she needs 168 / 12 = 14 dozen. The answer is 14.
Q: Two tribes of soldiers gathered for a battle. The number of women was double the number of cannoneers. There were 63 cannoneers. None of the cannoneers were women. The total number of men is twice the number of women. How many people in total are there?
A: There are 63 * 2 = 126 women. The men are 2 * 126 = 252 men. The total number of people are 126 + 252 = 378 people. The answer is 378.
Question: Archer caught eight fish from the lake to sell in the market. When he reached the market, he sold the fish faster than he had anticipated and decided to go back to the lake and catch more fish. He caught 12 more fish in the second round than he had caught earlier. The demand was even greater, and he had to close the day by catching 60% more fish than the number he had caught in the second round and sold all of them in the market. How many fish did he catch that day?
Answer: He caught 12 more fish in the second round than he had caught earlier, a total of 12 + 8 = 20 fish. The total number of fish he caught in the two rounds is 20 + 8 = 28. In the third round, Archer caught 60 / 100 * 20 = 12 fish which were 60% more fish than the number he had caught in the second round. This means he caught a total of 12 + 20 = 32 fish. Archer caught a total of 28 + 32 = 60 fish on that day. The answer is 60.
[Question]John has been having trouble sleeping lately. In the past week he was only able to get 3 hours of sleep on 2 of the days and on the remaining days he was only able to get 60% of the recommended 8 hours of sleep. How much sleep did he get this week?
[Answer]For the 2 days he gets 2 * 3 = 6 hours. He gets 60% of the recommended amount for 7 - 2 = 5 days. On those days he gets 8 * .6 = 4.8 hours. So he gets 5 * 4.8 = 24 hours. So he gets a total of 24 + 6 = 30 hours of sleep. The answer is 30.
[Question]Jenna's doctor tells her that she should tan no more than 200 minutes a month. If she tans 30 minutes a day, two days a week for the first two weeks of the month, how many minutes can she tan in the last two weeks of the month?
[Answer]
First find how many minutes Jenna tans each of the first two weeks: 30 minutes / day * 2 days / week = 60 minutes / week. Then multiply that number by the number of weeks to find how many minutes Jenna tans in the first half of the month: 60 minutes / week * 2 weeks = 120 minutes. Then subtract that time from the total time Jenna can spend tanning to find how many more minutes she can tan: 200 minutes - 120 minutes = 80 minutes. The answer is 80.
