Q: Jenny wants to heat a dish for dinner. It needs to be at 100 degrees before it is ready to eat. It is 20 degrees when she places it in the oven, and it heats up 5 degrees every minute. How many minutes will it take to be ready?
A: To determine this, we must first figure out the required change in temperature. To do this, we perform 100 - 20 = 80 degrees of required temperature change. Next, we divide this amount by the rate of change per minute, performing 80 / 5 = 16 minutes of cooking time. The answer is 16.

Q: A passenger train transports passengers between two stations located in two separate cities. On a particular day, the train carried 100 passengers from one station to the other one way, and on the return trip carried 60 passengers. If the train made three more round trips that day, taking the same number of people as the first trip in each trip, calculate the total number of passengers transported between both stations?
A: The total number of people transported in the first trip is 100 one way + 60 on the return trip = 160 people. If the train made three more round trips that day carrying the same number of passengers in each trip as the first, it carried a total of 3 * 160 = 480 in all three round trips. In total, the train carried 160 + 480 = 640 people over all its trips that day. The answer is 640.
