Q: At the beginning of the day, Principal Kumar instructed Harold to raise the flag up the flagpole. The flagpole is 60 feet long, and when fully raised, the flag sits on the very top of the flagpole. Later that morning, Vice-principal Zizi instructed Harold to lower the flag to half-mast. So, Harold lowered the flag halfway down the pole. Later, Principal Kumar told Harold to raise the flag to the top of the pole once again, and Harold did just that. At the end of the day, Vice-principal Zizi instructed Harold to completely lower the flag, take it off of the pole, and put it away for the evening. Over the course of the day, how far, in feet, had the flag moved up and down the pole?
A: Half of the distance up the flagpole is 60 / 2 = 30 feet. Thus, Harold moved the flag 60 up + 30 down + 30 up + 60 down = 180 feet. The answer is 180.
Question: Patricia is making a highlight film about her basketball team. She recorded video of every player and plans to put it all together in a longer movie. She has 130 seconds of the point guard, 145 seconds of the shooting guard, 85 seconds of the small forward, 60 seconds of the power forward, and 180 seconds of the center. How on average, how many minutes does each player get?
Answer: The total movie is 600 seconds long because 130 + 145 + 85 + 60 + 180 = 600. The total movie is 10 minutes long because 600 / 60 = 10. On average each player gets 2 minutes because 10 / 5 = 2. The answer is 2.

Q: Half of Taylor's house guests like weak coffee and the other half like strong coffee in the morning. Taylor uses 1 tablespoon of coffee per cup of water to make it weak and he doubles that amount to make it strong. If he makes 12 cups of both weak and strong coffee, how many tablespoons of coffee will he need?
A: He uses 1 tablespoon for weak coffee and doubles that for strong so the strong uses 1 * 2 = 2 tablespoons. For the weak coffee he uses 1 tablespoon per 1 cup of water and he needs to make 12 cups so he'll use 1 * 12 = 12 tablespoons. For the strong coffee he uses 2 tablespoons per 1 cup of water and he needs to make 12 cups so he'll use 2 * 12 = 24 tablespoons. All total he will use 12 tablespoons for the weak coffee and 24 tablespoons for the strong coffee for a total of 12 + 24 = 36 tablespoons. The answer is 36.
Question: A spider has eight legs. If a group of spiders has 10 more spiders than half as many legs as a single spider has, what is the total number of spider legs in this group of spiders?
Answer:
Half as many legs as a single spider has is 8 / 2 = 4 legs. 10 more spiders than half as many legs as a single spider has is 4 + 10 = 14 spiders. The total number of spider legs in a group of 14 spiders is 8 * 14 = 112 spider legs. The answer is 112.
