[Question]John gave his fiancee a $4000 ring on their engagement day, a $2000 car as a gift on their wedding day, and a diamond brace twice as expensive as the ring he gave her during the engagement. What's the worth of the presents John gave to her fiancee?
[Answer]If John gave his fiancee a $4000 ring on their engagement day, a $2000 car as a gift on their wedding day, the total cost for the two presents is $4000 + $2000 = $6000. He also gave his fiancee a diamond brace twice as expensive as the ring costing 2 * $4000 = $8000. The total worth of the presents John gave to his fiancee is $6000 + $8000 = $14000. The answer is 14000.

[Question]Ellis is going to take a road trip with her family. First, she needs to figure out how many bottles of water she should bring for everyone. There will be four people total: Ellis, her mother, her sister, and her aunt. They will be on the road to their destination for 8 hours and drive 8 hours to return home. Every hour each person will want to drink 1/2 a bottle of water. How many water bottles will Ellis' family need total?
[Answer]Ellis and her family of 4 will be traveling for 8 hours going and 8 hours coming home = 16 hours total. Each person needs 1 / 2 a bottle of water each hour, so 1 / 2 a bottle x 16 hours = 8 bottles. There are 4 people traveling so 8 total water bottles for each person x 4 people = 32 total water bottles. The answer is 32.
Q: Jennie drives to her son's house in 5 hours when there is heavy traffic. When there is no traffic the same trip takes only 4 hours. If her son's house is 200 miles away, what is the difference between her average speed when there is heavy traffic and when there is no traffic?
A: Jennie can cover the 200 - mile distance in 5 hours when there is heavy traffic, so her average speed is 200 / 5 = 40mph. She can cover the same distance in 4 hours when there is no traffic for an average speed of 200 / 4 = 50mph. The difference in average speed between the two scenarios is (50 - 40)mph = 10mph. The answer is 10.
