Question: John wants to finish a show in 5 days. There are 20 episodes and they are each 30 minutes long. How many hours does he have to watch a day?
Answer: He wants to watch 20 * 30 = 600 minutes. So he needs to watch 600 / 60 = 10 hours. That means he needs to watch 10 / 5 = 2 hours a day. The answer is 2.
[Question]At a certain bookstore, the best-selling book, "TOP," costs $8. The least-selling book, "ABC," costs $23. Thirteen "TOP" books and four "ABC" books were sold last week. What is the difference in the bookstore's earnings on these two books last week?
[Answer]On "TOP" books the bookstore made 13 * 8 = $104. The "ABC" books, on the other hand, were sold for a total of 4 * 23 = $92. The difference between earnings from these two books is 104 - 92 = $12. The answer is 12.
Q: A party of 4 order 3 dozen oysters on the half shell for $15.00 a dozen, 2 pounds of steamed shrimp for $14.00 a pound and 2 pounds of fried clams for $13.50 a pound. If they split the bill equally, how much will they each owe?
A: They ordered 3 dozen oysters at $15.00 a dozen so that's 3 * 15 = $45.00. They ordered 2 pounds of shrimp for $14.00 a pound so that's 2 * 14 = $28.00. They ordered 2 pounds of fried clams for $13.50 a pound so that's 2 * 13.50 = $27.00. All total their bill comes to 45 + 28 + 27 = $100.00. Their bill was $100.00 and they are splitting it equally amongst 4 people so they each owe 100 / 4 = $25.00. The answer is 25.
Question: Josie and her family went on a safari and had an exciting time watching different animals grazing and playing together. She decided to count each animal she saw and calculated their total number. She counted 80 antelopes, 34 more rabbits than antelopes, 42 fewer hyenas than the total number of antelopes and rabbits combined, 50 more wild dogs than hyenas, and the number of leopards was half the number of rabbits. What the total number of animals that Josie counted?
Answer: The number of rabbits was 80 + 34 = 114. The total number of rabbits and antelopes is 114 + 80 = 194. The number of hyenas was 42 fewer than the combined number of antelopes and rabbits, which is 194 - 42 = 152. The number of wild dogs was 50 more than the number of hyenas, that is 152 + 50 = 202. The number of leopards is 1 / 2 * 114 = 57. The total number of animals Josie saw is 57 + 202 + 152 + 114 + 80 = 605. The answer is 605.
[Question]A choir was singing a song that involved 30 singers. In the first verse, only half of them sang. In the second verse, a third of the remaining singers joined in. How many people joined in the final third verse that the whole choir sang together?
[Answer]In the first verse, 30 / 2 = 15 singers sang. In the second verse, 15 / 3 = 5 singers joined in. In the final verse, 30 - 15 - 5 = 10 singers joined for the whole choir to sing together. The answer is 10.
[Question]At the museum, Bethany saw 4 times more still lifes than portraits. If she saw 80 paintings total, how many portraits did she see?
[Answer]
Let s be the number of still lifes Bethany saw and p be the number of portraits. We know that s + p = 80 and s = 4p. Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get 4p + p = 80. Combining like terms, we get 5p = 80. Dividing both sides by 5, we get p = 16. The answer is 16.
