[Question]Harry is traveling home on the bus. He has already been sat on the bus for 15 minutes, and he knows the rest of the journey will take another 25 minutes. The walk from the bus stop to his house will take half the amount of time the bus journey took. In total, how many minutes will Harry have spent traveling?
[Answer]The bus journey takes 15 + 25 = 40 minutes. The walk from the bus stop to his house will take Harry 40 / 2 = 20 minutes. So he will have been traveling for 40 + 20 = 60 minutes. The answer is 60.
Q: Ariana is past due on three bills. The first bill for $200 charges 10% simple interest for each overdue month and it's 2 months overdue. The second bill for $130 charges a flat $50 late fee per month and is 6 months overdue. The last bill is two months late and charges a $40 fee the first month overdue and twice that fee the second month overdue and is for $444. How much does Ariana owe in total?
A: First find the monthly late fee for the first bill: $200 * 10% = $20. Then multiply that by the number of months the bill is overdue: $20 / month * 2 months = $40. Then find the total late fee for the second bill the same way: $50 / month * 6 months = $300. Then find the third bill's second late fee: 2 * $40 = $80. Then add all the bill amounts and late fees to find the total cost: $40 + $200 + $300 + $130 + $40 + $80 + $444 = $1234. The answer is 1234.
Question: Nancy takes 3 antacids per day when she eats Indian food, 2 antacids per day when she eats Mexican food, and 1 antacid per day otherwise. If Nancy eats Indian three times a week and Mexican twice a week, how many antacids does she take per month?
Answer: First find the total number of antacids Nancy takes after eating Indian food per week: 3 antacids / day * 3 days / week = 9 antacids / week. Then find the total number of antacids Nancy takes after eating Mexican food per week: 2 antacids / day * 2 days / week = 4 antacids / week. Then find the number of days she doesn't eat Indian food or Mexican food: 7 days / week - 3 days / week - 2 days / week = 2 days / week. Then find the total number of antacids Nancy takes per week: 9 antacids / week + 4 antacids / week + 2 antacids / week = 15 antacids / week. Then multiply her weekly antacid consumption by the number of weeks per month to find her monthly consumption: 15 antacids / week * 4 week / month = 60 antacids / month. The answer is 60.
[Question]The ratio of cows to bulls in a barn is 10:27. If there are 555 cattle on the farm, how many bulls are on the farm?
[Answer]The total ratio of cattle on the farm is 10 + 27 = 37. Since the fraction that represents bulls from the total ratio is 27 / 37, the number of bulls on the farm is 27 / 37 * 555 = 405. The answer is 405.
Q: It was time for Kelly to harvest her carrots that she had planted in three different beds. In the first bed she pulled out 55 carrots. In the second bed she pulled out 101 carrots and in the third bed she pulled out 78 carrots. She found that 6 carrots weighed one pound. How many pounds of carrots did Kelly harvest?
A: She pulled out 55 + 101 + 78 = 234. 6 carrots weigh one pound so 234 / 6 = 39 pounds of carrots. The answer is 39.
Question: Tom decides to renovate a house. There are 3 bedrooms and each bedroom takes 4 hours to renovate. The kitchen takes 50% longer than each bedroom. The living room took twice as much time as everything else combined. How long did everything take?
Answer:
The kitchen took 4 * .5 = 2 hours longer than the bedrooms. So the kitchen took 4 + 2 = 6 hours. The bedrooms took 3 * 4 = 12 hours. So the kitchen and bedrooms combined took 12 + 6 = 18 hours. The living room took 18 * 2 = 36 hours. So everything took a total of 18 + 36 = 54 hours. The answer is 54.
