Q: Daisy is climbing trees all around her neighborhood and starts to notice the number of branches and the height. The first tree she climbs is 50 feet tall and has 200 branches. The second tree she climbs is 40 feet tall and has 180 branches. The third tree she climbs is 60 feet tall and has 180 branches. The final tree she climbs is 34 feet tall and has 153 branches. On average, how many branches do these trees have per foot?
A: The first tree has 4 branches per foot because 200 / 50 = 4. The second tree tree has 4.5 branches per foot because 180 / 40 = 4.5. The third tree has 3 branches per foot because 180 / 60 = 3. The fourth tree has 4.5 branches per foot because 153 / 34 = 4.5. The total branches per foot is 16 because 4 + 4.5 + 3 + 4.5 = 16. The average branches per foot is 4 because 16 / 4 = 4. The answer is 4.
Question: Cameron drives at twice the speed of his brother, Chase. But Danielle drives at three times the speed of Cameron. If it takes Danielle 30 minutes to travel from Granville to Salisbury, how long, in minutes, will it take Chase to travel from Granville to Salisbury?
Answer: If Danielle drives at three times the speed of Cameron, it will take Cameron 30 * 3 = 90 minutes for Cameron to travel the same distance. And since Cameron drives at twice the speed of his brother, Chase, it will take Chase 90 * 2 = 180 minutes to travel from Granville to Salisbury. The answer is 180.
[Question]Skyler is a composer. He wrote 25 hit songs that made it on the top 10 charts; ten more songs that made it on the top 100 charts than the hit songs; 5 fewer songs than the hit songs that were never released. How many songs did Skyler write in all?
[Answer]Skyler wrote 25 + 10 = 35 songs that made it on the top 100. He wrote 25 - 5 = 20 songs that were never released. So, Skyler wrote a total of 25 + 35 + 20 = 80 songs. The answer is 80.
Q: Nicole has three older sisters. After each one outgrows their clothes, they give them to Nicole. They have all outgrown their clothes and have given them all to Nicole. Nicole started with 10 pieces of clothing. Her first older sister had half as many clothes as Nicole. The next oldest sister had 2 more pieces of clothing than Nicole. The oldest had the average of what her three younger sisters had. How many pieces of clothing does Nicole end up with?
A: The first sister has 5 pieces of clothing because 10 / 2 = 5. The next sister had 12 pieces of clothing because 10 + 2 = 12. The three youngest sisters combined have 27 pieces because 10 + 5 + 12 = 27. The oldest has 9 pieces because 27 / 3 = 9. Nicole ends up with 36 pieces of clothing because 10 + 5 + 12 + 9 = 36. The answer is 36.
Question: Two days ago, the temperature in the morning went up 1.5 degrees every 2 hours. If the temperature was 50 degrees at 3 A.M., what was the temperature at 11 A.M.?
Answer:
At 5 A.M., the temperature was 50 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 51.5 degrees. At 7 A.M., the temperature was 51.5 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 53 degrees. At 9 A.M., the temperature was 53 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 54.5 degrees. At 11 A.M., the temperature was 54.5 degrees + 1.5 degrees = 56 degrees. The answer is 56.
