Q: A jet travels 580 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 10 hours?
A: In one hour the jet could travel 580 miles / 2 hours = 290 miles. In 10 hours the jet could fly 290 miles * 10 = 2900 miles. The answer is 2900.
Question: Austin is a surfer. He took a trip to the beach during surfing season and the highest wave he caught was two feet higher than four times his height. The shortest wave he caught was four feet higher than his height. The shortest wave was three feet higher than his 7-foot surfboard is long. How tall was the highest wave Austin caught?
Answer: The shortest wave was 7 + 3 = 10 feet tall. Austin is 10 - 4 = 6 feet tall. Thus, the highest wave Austin caught was 6 * 4 + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26 feet tall. The answer is 26.
[Question]Joe buys 3 oranges, 7 juices, 3 jars of honey, and 4 plants at the market. The fruit costs $4.50 each, the juice was 50 cents each, the jars of honey were $5, and the plants were 2 for $18. How much does Joe spend at the market?
[Answer]Joe spends 4.50 * 3 = 13.50 on oranges. Joe spends 7 * 0.5 = 3.50 on juice. Joe spends 3 * 5 = 15 on honey. Each plant costs 18 / 2 = 9 dollars. Joe spends 9 * 4 = 36 on plants. Joe spends a total of 13.50 + 3.50 + 15 + 36 = 68 dollars at the market. The answer is 68.
Q: Every Monday to Friday morning, Alice walks 10 miles through a large grass field to get to school. To avoid the hot afternoon sun on her way home, she walks 12 miles through a forest. When she gets home on Friday, how many miles will she have walked that week?
A: On Monday the total number of miles Alice walks to and from school is 10 + 12 = 22 miles. For the other 4 days, from Tuesday to Friday, she walks an additional 4 * 22 = 88 miles. The total number of miles she will have walked by Friday 22 + 88 = 110 miles. The answer is 110.
Question: James watched 2 episodes of Jeopardy and 2 episodes of Wheel of Fortune. Jeopardy is 20 minutes and Wheel of Fortune is twice as long. How many hours did he watch TV?
Answer: He watched 2 * 20 = 40 minutes of Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune is 2 * 20 = 40 minutes each. So he watched it for 40 * 2 = 80 minutes. So he watched 40 + 80 = 120 minutes of TV. That means he watched 120 / 60 = 2 hours of TV. The answer is 2.
Q: Ali, Nada, and John have a total of $67 in their wallets. Ali has $5 less than Nada and John has 4 times more than Nada. How much money does John have?
A:
Let's say that N is what Nada has, J is what John has, and A is what Ali has. We know that A = N - 5 and J = 4N. We also know that: N + A + J = $67. We can substitute the equations from step 1 into the equations from step 2 to get: N + 4N + (N - 5) = $67. Combining like terms gets us 6N - 5 = $67. So, N = ($67 + 5) / 6 = $12. Substituting $12 back into the equation J = 4 N, we find John has 4 x 12 = $48. The answer is 48.
