Question: Princeton had a gender reveal party and invited all of his fellow employees to celebrate with him. If the total number of guests were 60, and 2/3 were male guests, how many female guests attended the party?
Answer: The number of males in the party was 2 males / 3 guests * 60 guests = 40 males. If the total number of people at the party was 60, then there were 60 guests - 40 males = 20 females. The answer is 20.
[Question]Margaux owns a money lending company. Her friend pays her $5 per day, her brother $8 per day, and her cousin $4 per day. How much money will she collect after 7 days?
[Answer]Her friend will pay $5 x 7 = $35 after 7 days. Her brother will pay $8 x 7 = $56 after 7 days. Her cousin will pay $4 x 7 = $28 after 7 days. Therefore, she will be able to collect $35 + $56 + $28 = $119 after 7 days. The answer is 119.
Q: Trish likes to go for walks every day. One day, she goes on a 1-mile walk. Every subsequent day, she doubles the distance she walked the previous day. On what day does she walk more than 10 times further than she did on the first day?
A: Trish walks 1 mile on the first day, and since she walks double the previous day's amount each day that means she walks 1 * 2 = 2 miles the second day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 2 miles, meaning she walks 2 * 2 = 4 miles that day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 4 miles, meaning she walks 4 * 2 = 8 miles that day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 8 miles, meaning she walks 8 * 2 = 16 miles that day. As we're looking for the first day that her distance exceeds 10 times her original total, that means we're seeking a mile total of greater than or equal to 10 * 1 = 10 miles,. Since she accomplished this on the 5th day of walking, the answer is 5. The answer is 5.
Question: Toby is making toast and adding peanut butter to it. He wants to make sure he has 500 calories for breakfast. A piece of bread has 100 calories. A serving of peanut butter has 200 calories. If he has one piece of bread, how many servings of peanut butter should he add?
Answer: He needs 400 calories worth of peanut butter because 500 - 100 = 400. He needs 2 servings of peanut butter because 400 / 200 = 2. The answer is 2.
[Question]Jacob's water tank can hold up to 50 liters of water. Jacob collects water from the river and rain to fill his water tank. He can collect 800 milliliters of water from the rain and 1700 milliliters of water from the river every day. How many days does Jacob need to fill up his water tank?
[Answer]Jacob collects 800 + 1700 = 2500 milliliters of water from the river and rain every day. Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, then 50 liters is equal to 50x1000 = 50,000 milliliters of water. Therefore Jacob needs 50,000 / 2500 = 20 days to fill his water tank. The answer is 20.
[Question]Linda makes and sells necklaces at craft fairs. At her most recent fair she sold 4 necklaces and 8 rings for a total of $80. If each necklace costs $12, how much does each ring cost?
[Answer]
Let's use r for the cost of each necklace. 4 * 12 + 8 * r = 80. 48 + 8 * r = 80. 8 * r = 80 - 48 = 32. 8r = 32. r = 4 dollars for each ring. The answer is 4.
