Question: A rival football team has won twice as many matches as the home team they will be playing did. If records show that the home team has won three matches, and each team drew four matches and lost none, how many matches have both teams played in total?
Answer: The rival team won twice as many as the home team who won 3 matches so they won 2 * 3 = 6 matches. They both drew 4 matches each for a total of 2 * 4 = 8 matches. The total number of matches played is 3 + 6 + 8 = 17 matches. The answer is 17.
[Question]If a circle has a radius of 14 feet, how many 6-inch pencils can be placed end-to-end across the diameter of the circle?
[Answer]A circle with a radius of 14 feet has a diameter of 2 * 14 = 28 feet. A six - inch pencil is 6 / 12 = 0.5 feet long. Thus, across a 28 - foot diameter, one can place 28 / 0.5 = 56 6 - inch pencils. The answer is 56.
Q: Princess Daphne bought three necklaces and a set of earrings for a total of $240,000. If all three necklaces were equal in price, and the earrings were three times as expensive as any one necklace, then how expensive was the cost of a single necklace?
A: Let "x" be the price of a single necklace. Thus, the cost of the earrings would be 3x. And since all items totaled $240,000, then x + x + x + 3x = $240,000. Therefore, this simplifies to 6x = 240,000. And, solving for x we see that the price of a single necklace is x = $40,000. The answer is 40000.
Question: It takes 1 hour for refrigerated dough to come to room temperature. It takes 15 minutes to shape the dough and 2 hours to proof. The bread takes 30 minutes to bake and 15 minutes to cool. If the bakery opens at 6:00 am, what is the latest time the head baker can make it to the store to start working?
Answer: It takes 1 hour to bring the dough to room temp and 2 hours to proof the dough so that's 1 + 2 = 3 hours. It takes 15 minutes to shape the dough, 30 minutes to bake and another 15 minutes to cool for a total of 15 + 30 + 15 = 60 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour so that takes him 60 / 60 = 1 hour. In total it takes 3 + 1 = 4 hours from start to finish to make the bread. If the bakery opens at 6:00 am and it takes 4 hours to prep then the latest the head baker can show up is 6 - 4 = 2:00 am. The answer is 2.
Q: In his first season at Best Hockey's team, Louie scored four goals in the last hockey match of this season. His brother has scored twice as many goals as Louie scored in the last match in each game he's played in each of the three seasons he's been on the team. Each season has 50 games. What is the total number of goals the brothers have scored between them if, in the previous matches, Louie scored 40 goals?
A:
If Louie scored 4 goals last night, his brother has scored 2 * 4 goals = 8 goals in each game. The total number of games Louie's brother has played in is 3 seasons * 50 games / season = 150 games. Louie's brother's total number of goals in the three seasons is 8 goals / game * 150 games = 1200 goals. Louie's total number of goals this season is 40 goals + 4 goals = 44 goals. Together, they have a total of 44 goals + 1200 goals = 1244 goals in the team. The answer is 1244.
