[Question]If a tarantula has eight legs, and one tarantula egg sac can contain 1000 tarantulas, how many baby tarantula legs would be in one less than 5 egg sacs?
[Answer]One less than 5 is 5 - 1 = 4. If one tarantula egg sac can contain 1000 tarantulas, then four egg sacs can hold 4 * 1000 = 4000 tarantula babies. If each tarantula baby has eight legs, the 4 egg sacs can contain 4000 * 8 = 32,000 baby tarantula legs. The answer is 32000.
Q: Martha is making centerpieces for her Thanksgiving dinner. There are six centerpieces, and each centerpiece uses 8 roses, twice as many orchids as roses, and a certain number of lilies. If Martha wants to spend $2700 total, and each flower costs $15, how many lilies will she put in each centerpiece?
A: First figure out how many total flowers Martha is going to buy by dividing her total spending by the price per flower: $2700 / $15 / flower = 180 flowers. Now figure out how many flowers are in each centerpiece by dividing the total number of flowers by the number of centerpieces: 180 flowers / 6 centerpieces = 30 flowers / centerpiece. Now figure out how many orchids are in each centerpiece by multiplying the number of roses per centerpiece by 2: 8 roses / centerpiece * 2 = 16 orchids / centerpiece. Now subtract the number of roses and orchids per centerpiece from the total number of flowers per centerpiece to find the number of lilies per centerpiece: 30 flowers - 16 orchids - 8 roses = 6 lilies. The answer is 6.
Question: Roe saved $10 per month from January to July and saved $15 per month from August to November. How much should she save in December so she will have a total savings of $150 in the year?
Answer: Since there are 7 months from January to July, then Roe's savings for those months sum up to $10 x 7 = $70. Since there are 4 months from August to November, then her savings for those months sum up to $15 x 4 = $60. Her total savings from January to November is $70 + $60 = $130. Therefore, she needs to save $150 - $130 = $20 in December. The answer is 20.
Q: Miriam spent 30 minutes doing laundry, 15 minutes cleaning the bathroom, a certain amount of time cleaning her room, and 40 minutes doing homework. If she spent a total of two hours on these tasks, how long, in minutes, did she spend cleaning her room?
A:
There are 30 + 15 + 40 = 85 minutes accounted for. She spent 2 * 60 = 120 minutes. She spent 120 - 85 = 35 minutes cleaning her room. The answer is 35.
