Question: Jane is looking at a tree. At the same time, the tree and Jane are casting shadows - the tree of 10 meters and Jane of 0.5 meters. Jane is 1.5 meters tall. How tall is the tree?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The shadow of Jane is 1.5 / 0.5 = 3 times smaller than her height. The height of the tree is therefore 3 times bigger than the shadow, so it's 3 * 10 = 30 meters tall.
So the answer is 30.

Question: Tim's website got 100 visitors a day for the first 6 days and then on the last day of the week it got twice as many visitors as every other day combined. If he gets $.01 per visit how much did he make that week?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: In the first 6 days, he got 6 * 100 = 600 visits. So on the 7th day, he got 600 * 2 = 1200 visitors. So he got a total of 1200 + 600 = 1800 visitors. That means he made 1800 * .01 = $18.
So the answer is 18.

Question: Faye had $20. Today, her mother gave her twice as much as her money. If she bought ten cupcakes at $1.50 each and five boxes of cookies at $3 per box, how much money did she have left?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Faye's mother gave her 2 x $20 = $40. So, Faye had a total of $20 + $40 = $60. Ten cupcakes cost 10 x $1.50 = $15. Five boxes of cookies cost 5 x $3 = $15. Thus, Faye spent $15 + $15 = $30. Therefore, Faye has $60 - $30 = $30 left.
So the answer is 30.

Question: Luke is planning a trip to London and wants to see how long it will take him to travel there. He decides that he will take a bus to the town center, walk for 15 minutes to the train center, wait twice this long for the train to arrive, and then take the 6-hour train ride to London. If Luke's entire trip takes him 8 hours, how many minutes does his bus ride take?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Removing the time of the train ride from the journey shows that his trip to get on the train took him 8 hours 6 hours = 2 hours. Converting this time into minutes shows that getting to the train took 2 hours * 60 minutes / hour = 120 minutes. Waiting for the train to arrive took twice as long as his walk, so 15 minutes * 2 = 30 minutes. This means that his bus ride must have taken 120 minutes 30 minutes - 15 minutes = 75 minutes.
So the answer is 75.
