[Question]Miles and Daphne are comparing their reading collection and want to figure out who has more pages. They are about to count each page, but their parents suggest that they see whose collection is taller. Mile's collection is taller, but then Daphne notices that Miles reads board books, and so the pages are thicker. After some more measuring, they figure out that for Miles, 1 inch equals 5 pages, but for Daphne 1 inch equals 50 pages. If Miles's books are 240 inches tall and Daphne's collection is 25 inches tall, how many pages are in the longest collection?
[Answer]Miles's collection has 1,200 pages because 240 x 5 = 1,200. Daphne's collection has 1,250 pages because 25 x 50 = 1,250. The largest collection has 1,250 pages because 1,250 > 1,200. The answer is 1250.
[Question]Bill put his french fries in the oven after it finished heating. The recommended time was 5 minutes for them to be fully cooked. He put them in for 45 seconds. How many seconds remained?
[Answer]
Each minute last 60 seconds, so that means for the fries to be fully cooked Bill needs to cook them for 5 * 60 = 300 seconds. Since Bill had the fries in the oven for 45 seconds so far, that means they need to stay in the oven for another 300 - 45 = 255 seconds. The answer is 255.
