Question: A Lamplighter monkey has long arms and can swing from branch to branch at a speed of 10 feet per second. But when the monkey is frightened, it will run along the branches at a speed of 15 feet per second. If a Lamplighter monkey runs for 5 seconds to evade a predator, then swings for another 10 seconds to add distance between itself and the predator, how far, in feet, will the monkey travel?
Answer: At a speed of 15 feet per second, for 5 seconds, the monkey will travel 5 * 15 = 75 feet. At a speed of 10 feet per second for 10 seconds, the monkey will travel 10 * 10 = 100 feet. In total, the monkey will travel 75 + 100 = 175 feet. The answer is 175.
[Question]Darry is a roofer and has to climb ladders multiple times a day. He climbs his full ladder, which has 11 steps, 10 times today. He also climbs his smaller ladder, which has 6 steps, 7 times today. He did not climb any steps otherwise. In total, how many times has Darry climbed a step today?
[Answer]Climbing the full ladder means Darry has climbed 11 steps * 10 times = 110 steps so far. On his smaller ladder, he has climbed 6 steps * 7 times = 42 steps. So he has climbed a step a total of 110 + 42 = 152 times today. The answer is 152.
Q: The community leader of a certain town organized a cleaning day event where community members were to be involved in collecting trash inside the town. Out of 2000 community members involved in the cleaning process, 30% were adult men. If there were twice as many adult women as adult men in the event, and the rest were children, calculate the total number of children involved in the cleaning event.
A: If the number of adult men involved in the cleaning process was 30% of the community members, there were 30 / 100 * 2000 = 600 adult men at the event. There were also twice as many adult women as adult men in the event, a total of 2 * 600 = 1200 women. The total number of adults in the event was 1200 + 600 = 1800. If the rest of the people at the cleaning event were children, there were 2000 - 1800 = 200 children at the event. The answer is 200.
Question: The dog toys Samantha buys for her dog are "buy one get one half off" and all cost $12.00 each. She buys 4 toys. How much does she spend on dog toys?
Answer: If she buys 1 toy at $12.00 she gets the 2nd toy 1 / 2 off, the 2nd toy is 12 * .5 = $6.00. 1 full - priced toy is $12.00 and 1 / 2 priced toy is $6.00 so these 2 toys come to 12 + 6 = $18.00. She buys 2 more toys that are "buy one get one 1 / 2 off" so all total she spends 2 * 18 = $36.00. The answer is 36.
