[Question]If Katherine has 4 apples and 3 times as many pears in her fridge, how many bananas does she have if she has a total of 21 pieces of fruit?
[Answer]Katherine has a total of 3 * 4 apples = 12 pears. She therefore had 4 apples + 12 pears = 16 apples and pears. We know she has 21 total pieces of fruit, so this means she must have 21 total - 16 = 5 bananas. The answer is 5.
Q: Ken likes to bike when it's raining and can cycle 30 miles in 20 minutes during this time. However, when it's snowing Ken can't stand the cold and can only cycle 10 miles in 20 minutes. If it rains 3 times and snows 4 times in one week, how many miles did Ken reach if he cycles 1 hour a day?
A: For 1 hour on a rainy day, Ken can cycle 3 * 30 = 90 miles. For 1 hour on a snowy day, Ken can cycle 3 * 10 = 30 miles. On the rainy days this week, Ken cycled 90 * 3 = 270 miles. On the snow days of the week, Ken cycled 30 * 4 = 120 miles. In total, Ken cycled 120 + 270 = 390 miles this week. The answer is 390.

[Question]Viviana has five more chocolate chips than Susana, while Susana has 3/4 as many vanilla chips as Viviana. If Viviana has 20 Vanilla chips and Susana 25 chocolate chips, calculate the total number of chips they have together.
[Answer]Viviana has 20 Vanilla chips. Susana has 25 chocolate chips. Viviana has 25 + 5 = 30 chocolate chips. Susana has 3 / 4 * 20 = 15 Vanilla chips. They have 30 + 25 = 55 chocolate chips together. Together they have 20 + 15 = 35 vanilla chips. Together they have 35 + 55 = 90 chips. The answer is 90.

Question: Jenny wants to read 3 books in the next 10 days. She can read 100 words per hour. If the first book has 200 words, the second book has 400 words, and the third book has 300 words, how many minutes per day, on average, should she spend reading?
Answer:
She wants to read 200 + 400 + 300 = 900 pages total. She needs to spend 900 / 100 = 9 hours reading in the next three weeks. In minutes, she will need to spend 9 * 60 = 540 minutes. Thus, she should spend 540 minutes / 10 days = 54 minutes per day reading. The answer is 54.
