Q: Ragnar is a woodchopper. He can get 3 blocks of wood for every tree he cuts. If Ragnar chops 2 trees every day, how many blocks of woods does he get after 5 days?
A: Ragnar gets 3 x 2 = 6 blocks of wood every day. Therefore, the total number of blocks of woods he gets after 5 days is 6 x 5 = 30. The answer is 30.
Question: It takes 20 minutes for John to go to the bathroom 8 times. How long would it take to go 6 times?
Answer: He spends 20 / 8 = 2.5 minutes each time he goes in. So it would take 2.5 * 6 = 15 minutes to go 6 times. The answer is 15.
[Question]Summer and Jolly both went to the same middle school. However, when they finished college, Summer had five more degrees than Jolly. If Summer has a total of 150 degrees, what's the combined number of degrees they both have?
[Answer]Jolly has 150 - 5 = 145 degrees. Since Summer has 150 degrees, the combined total for both is 150 + 145 = 295. The answer is 295.
Q: Ryan is looking for people to crowdfund his new business idea. If the average person funds $10 to a project they're interested in, how many people will Ryan have to recruit to fund a $1,000 business if he has $200 already?
A: First, we need to determine how much money Ryan needs to hit his goal which we find by subtracting his available cash from his target, performing 1000 - 200 = 800 dollars needed. Since the average person contributes $10 when crowdfunding, this means he needs to find 800 / 10 = 80 people to fund his business well enough for him to hit his goal. The answer is 80.
Question: Papi Calot prepared his garden to plant potatoes. He planned to plant 7 rows of 18 plants each. But he still has a bit of room left, so he's thinking about adding 15 additional potato plants. How many plants does Papi Calot have to buy?
Answer: Let's first calculate the number of plants that Papi had planned: 7 rows * 18 plants / row = 126 plants. Now let's add the other plants: 126 plants + 15 plants = 141 plants. So Papi has to buy 141 plants. The answer is 141.
Q: Hugo can fold a small box in 3 seconds and a medium one in twice that time. Tom can fold both the small and medium boxes in 4 seconds. If Hugo and Tom want to leave as early as possible, how long (in seconds) will it take them to fold 2400 small boxes and 1800 medium boxes?
A:
If it takes Hugo twice the amount of time to fold a medium box than a small box, then he needs 2 * 3 = 6 seconds for the medium box. If Tom can fold either the small or medium box in 4 seconds, then he's faster at folding the medium box than Hugo because 4s < 6s. If Hugo can fold the small box in 3 seconds, then he's faster at folding the small boxes than Tom because 3s < 4s. Therefore Hugo should fold all small boxes and Tom should fold all the medium ones before doing the other size where they are slower. If there are 2400 small boxes and Hugo can fold 1 box in 3 seconds, then it would take him 2400 * 3 = 7200 seconds to fold all boxes. If there are 1800 medium boxes and Tom can fold 1 box in 4 seconds, then it would take him 1800 * 4 = 7200 seconds to fold all medium boxes. Given that they need the same amount of time to fold all boxes, and are doing it simultaneously they will need 7200 seconds to fold all the boxes. The answer is 7200.
