[Question]A construction company is building 2 apartment buildings with 12 floors each. The apartments are almost ready to sell but all of them need doors to be completed. Each floor has 6 apartments, and each apartment needs 7 doors in total. How many doors does the company need to buy?
[Answer]The number of floors is 12 floors / building x 2 buildings = 24 floors. The number of apartments is 6 apartments / floor x 24 floors = 144 apartments. The company has to buy 7 doors / apartment x 144 apartments = 1008 doors. The answer is 1008.
Q: Dr. Banks had 330 toothbrushes to give away to his patients. He gave away 53 toothbrushes in January. He gave away 67 toothbrushes in February. In March he gave away 46 toothbrushes. In April and May, he gave away the remaining toothbrushes, half each month. How many more toothbrushes did Dr. Banks give out in the busiest month versus the slowest month?
A: Through March, Dr. Banks gave out 53 + 67 + 46 = 166 toothbrushes. Before giving away toothbrushes in April, he had 330 - 166 = 164 toothbrushes remaining. Between April and May, he gave out the remaining 164 / 2 = 82 toothbrushes each month. Dr. Banks gave 82 toothbrushes in his busiest month and 46 toothbrushes during the slowest month. The difference would be 82 - 46 = 36 more toothbrushes in the busiest month. The answer is 36.
Question: For every loaf of bread that Ted buys, he needs an additional 2 packs of sandwich meat and 2 packs of sliced cheese to make 10 sandwiches. The bread costs $4.00, the sandwich meat costs $5.00 per pack and the cheese costs $4.00 per pack. He has a $1.00 off coupon for one pack of cheese and an additional $1.00 coupon for one pack of meat. How much does each sandwich cost?
Answer: He buys 2 packs of sandwich meat at $5.00 a pack so 2 * 5.00 = $10.00. He buys 2 packs of cheese at $4.00 a pack so 2 * 4.00 = $8.00. The loaf of bread cost $4.00 plus $10.00 for meat and $8.00 for cheese so his total is 4 + 10 + 8 = $22.00. He has coupons to use a checkout so his new total is 22 - 1 - 1 = $20.00. He can make 10 sandwiches from his purchase and his purchase total is $20 so 20 / 10 = $2.00. The answer is 2.
[Question]An old car can drive 8 miles in one hour. After 5 hours of constant driving, the car needs to get cooled down which takes 1 hour. How many miles can this car drive in 13 hours?
[Answer]In 5 hours the car can drive 8 * 5 = 40 miles. One cycle of driving and pause takes 5 + 1 = 6 hours. In 13 hours this cycle can fit 13 / 6 = 2 full cycles with a remainder of 1 hour. Two cycles will last for 2 * 6 = 12 hours. During two full cycles, the car will drive 40 * 2 = 80 miles. So there is 13 - 12 = 1 remaining hour when the car can drive. That means during 13 hours the car will be able to drive 80 + 8 = 88 miles. The answer is 88.
Q: At the new store, there are 3 times as many grape candies as cherry candies, and 2 times as many apple candies as grape candies. All the candies cost $2.50 each. If the total cost of the candies is $200, how many grape candies does the store have?
A: Total number of candies is 200 / 2.5 = 80 candies. Let x be the number of cherry candies. There are 3 * x grape candies. There are 2 * 3 * x = 6 * x apple candies. x + 3 * x + 6 * x = 80. 10 * x = 80. x = 8. There are 8 * 3 = 24 grape candies. The answer is 24.
Question: In a 5-day Fishing competition, Jackson was able to reel a total of 6 fishes per day, Jonah was able to reel 4 fishes per day and George was able to reel 8 fishes per day. How many fishes were they able to catch throughout the competition if they are on the same team?
Answer:
Jackson gets a total of 6x5 = 30 fishes after the competition. Jonah gets 4x5 = 20 fishes after the competition. And George was able to get 8x5 = 40 fishes after the competition. Therefore the total fishes they were able to get for their team is 30 + 20 + 40 = 90. The answer is 90.
