Question: 1,800 fish swim westward, 3,200 swim eastward, and 500 swim north. What is the number of fish left in the sea, if fishers catch 2/5 of the fish that swam eastward and 3/4 of the fish that swam westward?
Answer: When fishers caught 3 / 4 of the fish that swam westward, their total number reduced by 3 / 4 * 1800 fish = 1350. The total number of fish that remained from the total number that swam eastward is 1800 fish - 1350 fish = 450 fish. If fishers caught 2 / 5 of the fish that swam eastward, their total number reduced by 2 / 5 * 3200 fish = 1280 fish. 3200 fish - 1280 fish = 1920 fish remained in the sea from the number that swam westward. The total number of fish in the sea after fishers caught some is 500 of the number that went north + 450 of the fish that swam westward + 1920 of the fish that swam eastward = 2870 fish. The answer is 2870.
[Question]Jackie can do 5 push-ups in 10 seconds. How many push-ups can she do in one minute if she takes two 8-second breaks?
[Answer]There are 60 seconds per minute, so Jackie's push - up routine takes 1 * 60 = 60 seconds. Her breaks last 2 * 8 = 16 seconds. She does push - ups for 60 - 16 = 44 seconds. She can do a push - up in 10 / 5 = 2 seconds. Therefore, Jackie can do 44 / 2 = 22 push - ups in one minute with breaks. The answer is 22.
Q: Taegan goes to a carnival where she wins tickets from each of the 5 carnival games and also finds 5 tickets on the floor. Each ticket is worth $3. In total, she has tickets that total a value of $30. If Taegan won an equal number of tickets from each of the games, how many tickets did she win from each game?
A: If tickets are valued at $3 then in total, Taegan has won $30 in total tickets / $3 per ticket = 10 tickets. Some of these tickets were found so only 10 total tickets 5 found tickets = 5 tickets were won from carnival games. She therefore won 5 tickets / 5 carnival games = 1 ticket from each game. The answer is 1.
Question: Kathleen saved $21 in June, $46 in July, and $45 in August. Then Kathleen spent $12 on school supplies and $54 on new clothes. Kathleen's aunt said she would give Kathleen $25 if Kathleen saves more than $125. How much money does Kathleen have left?
Answer: Kathleen saved $21 + $46 + $45 = $112. Kathleen's aunt did not give Kathleen any money because $112 is not greater than $125. Kathleen spent $12 + $54 = $66. Kathleen has $112 - $66 = $46 remaining. The answer is 46.
[Question]Aaron wants to purchase a guitar under a payment plan of $100.00 per month for 12 months. His father has agreed to lend him the entire amount for the guitar, plus a one-time 10% interest fee for the entire loan. With interest, how much money will Aaron owe his dad?
[Answer]The guitar costs $100 every month for 12 months so it costs 100 * 12 = $1200. His dad is charging him 10% interest on the $1200 so interest comes to .10 * 1200 = $120.00. All total, Aaron will owe his father the price of the guitar, $1200 and the interest, $120 so 1200 + 120 = $1,320.00. The answer is 1320.
[Question]A YouTube video is 100 hours long. Lila decides to watch it at two times the average speed. Roger, her friend, also watch the same video at the average speed. If they both watched six of the same videos, what's the total number of hours they watched?
[Answer]
When Lila watches the video at twice the normal speed, the video takes 100 / 2 = 50 hours. When she watches six such videos, the total number of video hours becomes 50 * 6 = 300 hours. Roger, her friend, watches 6 videos at the normal speed, which is 6 * 100 = 600 video hours. The total number of hours watched by the two is 600 + 300 = 900 hours. The answer is 900.
