Question: Charlie owns one flute, two horns, and a harp. Carli owns twice as many flutes as Charlie, half as many horns as Charlie, but no harps. What is the combined total number of musical instruments owned by Charlie and Carli?
Answer: Charlie owns one flute, two horns, and a harp for a total of 1 + 2 + 1 = 4 instruments. Twice as many flutes as Charlie is 2 * 1 = 2 flutes,. Half as many horns as Charlie is 2 / 2 = 1 horn. Thus, Carli owns 2 + 1 = 3 instruments. Therefore, the combined total number of musical instruments owned by Charlie and Carli is 4 + 3 = 7 instruments. The answer is 7.
[Question]Ian is looking to lose some weight. He decides to start jogging around his apartment complex every night to burn some calories. He does 5 laps around the complex every night. Each lap is 100 feet. If it takes 25 feet of jogging to burn a calorie, how many calories does Ian burn after 5 days of jogging like this?
[Answer]First, we need to determine how many feet Ian runs in a week. We begin this by multiplying the number of laps by the number of feet per lap, performing 5 * 100 = 500 feet per day. Since there are 5 days in the period being measured, this means Ian runs 500 * 5 = 2500 feet jogged. Since it takes 25 feet of jogging to burn a calorie, this means Ian burns 2500 / 25 = 100 calories burned jogging throughout the week. The answer is 100.
Q: If 1 ounce of Dawn liquid soap can make 200,000 bubbles, and Dr. Bronner's liquid soap can make twice as many bubbles per ounce as Dawn liquid soap, then how many bubbles can be made from one half ounce of an equal mixture of Dawn and Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps?
A: One half of a 1 / 2 - ounce liquid is (1 / 2) * (1 / 2) = 1 / 4 ounces. 1 / 4 ounce of Dawn liquid soap can make (1 / 4) * 200,000 = 50,000 bubbles. 1 / 4 ounce of Dr. Bronner's liquid soap can make 2 * (1 / 4) * 200,000 = 100,000 bubbles. Therefore, a half ounce of an equal mixture of Dawn and Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps can make 50,000 + 100,000 = 150,000 bubbles. The answer is 150000.
Question: Phil and Andre decide to order some pizza. They get a small cheese and a large pepperoni. The small pizza has 8 slices, The large has 14 slices. They have both eaten 9 slices already. How many pieces are left per person?
Answer: There are 22 pieces of pizza because 14 plus 8 equals 22. They have eaten 18 pieces of pizza because 9 plus 9 equals 18. There are 4 pieces of pizza left because 22 minus 18 equals 4. There are 2 pieces per person because 4 divided by 2 equals 2. The answer is 2.
[Question]The bald eagle can dive at a speed of 100 miles per hour, while the peregrine falcon can dive at a speed of twice that of the bald eagle. Starting from the same treetop, if it takes the bald eagle 30 seconds to dive to the ground, how long, in seconds, will it take the peregrine falcon to dive the same distance?
[Answer]Twice the speed of the bald eagle is 100 * 2 = 200 miles per hour. Let "x" be the time in seconds it takes the peregrine falcon to travel to the ground. Thus, based on the ratio of their speeds, the following expression is given: x = 30 * (100 / 200). Thus, x = 15 seconds. The answer is 15.
