Q: Lauryn owns a computer company that employs men and women in different positions in the company. How many men does he employ if there are 20 fewer men than women and 180 people working for Lauryn?
A: Let's say the number of men working at the company is x. Since there are 180 people, and the number of men is 20 fewer than the number of women, then x + x + 20 = 180. The total number of employees in the company is 2x + 20 = 180. 2x = 180 - 20. 2x = 160. The number of men is x = 160 / 2. There are x = 80 men in the company. The answer is 80.
Question: A teacher asked Adelaide, Ephraim, and Kolton to buy ducks and monitor their growth patterns and features for their science class. Adelaide bought twice the number of ducks that Ephraim bought, while Ephraim bought 45 fewer ducks than Kolton. If Adelaide bought 30 ducks, what's the average number of ducks the three bought?
Answer: If Adelaide bought 30 ducks, Ephraim bought 30 ducks / 2 = 15 ducks. Since Ephraim bought 45 fewer ducks than Kolton, Kolton bought 45 ducks + 15 ducks = 60 ducks. The total number of ducks the three bought is 60 ducks + 15 ducks + 30 ducks = 105 ducks. The average number of ducks each bought is 105 ducks / 3 people = 35 ducks / person. The answer is 35.

[Question]A father and a son start approaching each other at the same time from opposite ends of a hallway that is 16m long. If the father is walking three times as fast as the son, at what distance from the father's end of the hallway will they meet?
[Answer]
Since the father is walking 3 times as fast as his son, their speeds are in a ratio of 3:1 respectively. They started at the same time so they will cover distance at the same ratio of 3:1. Each portion of the distance they covered is 16 / (3 + 1) = 4m. The father covered three portions of the distance which is 3 * 4m = 12m from his end. The answer is 12.
