Question: Laura took six trips to park. On each trip, she spent 2 hours at the park and an additinal 30 minutes walking to and from the park. What percentage of the total time she took for her trips to the park did Laura spend in the park?
Answer: During 6 days, Laura would spend 2 * 6 = 12 hours in the park. If it takes 30 minutes (or 0.5 of an hour) walking to and from the park, then for the six trips, it would take her an additional 0.5 * 6 = 3 hours to walk to and from the park. In total, she would spend a total of 12 + 3 = 15 hours on her six trips. So, the fraction of time spent in the park would be 12 / 15 = 0.8. Thus, converting fraction to percentage, Laura spent 0.8 * 100% = 80% of her trip time at the park. The answer is 80.
[Question]Gretchen draws caricatures in the park on the weekends. She charges $20.00 per drawing. If she sold 24 on Saturday and 16 on Sunday, how much money did she make?
[Answer]She drew 24 on Saturday and 16 on Sunday for a total of 24 + 16 = 40 drawings. She charges $20.00 per drawing and she drew 40 caricatures so she made $20 * 40 = $800. The answer is 800.
Q: Jordan and Perry took a boat out to the lake to go fishing on a Monday morning. Jordan caught 4 fish and Perry caught double what Jordan caught. On the way back to shore, the boat tipped over and they lost one-fourth of their total catch. How many fish remain?
A: Since Perry caught double what Jordan caught, Perry caught 2 * 4 = 8 fish. Altogether, they caught 8 + 4 = 12 fish. On the way back to the shore, they lost 12 * 1 / 4 = 3 fish. They have 12 - 3 = 9 fish remaining. The answer is 9.
Question: A quarterback steps back to throw 80 times in a game. 30 percent of the time he does not get a pass thrown. Half of the times that he does not throw the ball he is sacked for a loss. How many times is the quarterback sacked for a loss in the game?
Answer: No pass thrown:80(.30) = 24. Sacked:24 / 2 = 12. The answer is 12.
[Question]Jerry is refilling the duck pond in his backyard during a drought. The pond can hold 200 gallons of water. Jerry's hose can normally pump 6 gallons/minute, but due to drought restrictions, it can only pump 2/3rds as fast right now. How many minutes will it take Jerry to fill his pond?
[Answer]First find the current rate the hose pumps by multiplying its normal rate by 2 / 3: 6 gallons / minute * 2 / 3 = 4 gallons / minute. Then divide the number of gallons in the pond by the number of gallons pumped each minute to find how many minutes filling the pond takes: 200 gallons / 4 gallons / minute = 50 minutes. The answer is 50.
[Question]Camden went swimming 16 times in March and Susannah went 24 times. If the number of times they went throughout the month was divided equally among 4 weeks, how many more times a week did Susannah swim than Camden?
[Answer]
Camden went swimming 16 / 4 = 4 times a week. Susannah went swimming 24 / 4 = 6 times a week. Susannah went 6 - 4 = 2 more times a week than Camden. The answer is 2.
