Q: Gumball was counting his water intake for the previous week. He checked his list and saw that he had drank 60 liters of water for the week. He drank nine liters of water on Monday, Thursday and Saturday and 8 liters of water on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Unfortunately, no data was input on Wednesday. How many liters of water did he drink on Wednesday?
A: Gumball's total water intake on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday is 9 x 3 = 27 liters. And his total water intake on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday is 8 x 3 = 24 liters. So his total water intake for 6 days is 24 + 27 = 51 liters. Therefore Gumball's water intake on Wednesday is 60 - 51 = 9 liters. The answer is 9.
Question: The temperature in New York in June 2020 was 80 degrees. If the temperature in Miami on this day was 10 degrees hotter than the temperature in New York, and 25 degrees cooler than the temperature in San Diego, what was the average temperature for the three cities?
Answer: If it was 10 degrees hotter on this day in Miami than in New York, then the temperature in Miami was 80 + 10 = 90 degrees. If it was 25 degrees cooler in Miami than in San Diego, then the temperature in San Diego was 90 + 25 = 115 degrees. The total temperature for all the cities is 115 + 90 + 80 = 285 degrees. The average temperature of the three cities is 285 / 3 = 95 degrees. The answer is 95.
[Question]Every tree that Bart cuts down gives him 75 pieces of firewood. If he burns 5 logs a day from November 1 through February 28, how many trees will he need to cut down?
[Answer]November has 30 days, December has 31 days, January has 31 days and February has 28 days for a total of 30 + 31 + 31 + 28 = 120 days. He burns 5 pieces of wood every day so 120 * 5 = 600 pieces of wood. Every tree he cuts down supplies 75 pieces of firewood and he will burn 600 pieces so he needs 600 / 75 = 8 trees. The answer is 8.
Q: Some friends wanted to make a road trip from New York to Los Angeles. They drove at a constant speed of 62 miles/hour, taking breaks of 30 minutes every 5 hours. Once in the city, they looked for the hotel for 30 minutes. If the trip took around 2,790 miles, how many hours will they have to spend to complete the trip to the hotel?
A: At a constant speed of 62 miles / hour, they will drive 2,790 miles / 62 miles / hour = 45 hours in total. Every 5 hours they take a break, they will take 45 hours / 5 hours / break = 9 breaks. Those breaks will be 9 breaks x 30 minutes / break = 270 minutes in total. In hours, the breaks will be in total 270 minutes 60 minutes / hour = 4.5 hours. To find the hotel it took them 30 minutes 60 minutes / hour = 0.5 hours. In total, it will take 45 hours + 4.5 hours + 0.5 hours = 50 hours to complete the trip. The answer is 50.
Question: It takes 3 ounces of wax to detail Kellan's car and 4 ounces to detail his SUV. He bought an 11-ounce bottle of vehicle wax, but spilled 2 ounces before using it. How many ounces does he have left after waxing his car and SUV?

Q: Marla has a grid of squares that has 10 rows and 15 squares in each row. She colors 4 rows of 6 squares in the middle of the grid with red. She colors all squares on the first 2 and last 2 rows with blue. Then she colors the rest with green. How many squares does Marla color green?
A:
There are 10 x 15 = 150 squares in a grid. 4 x 6 = 24 squares are colored red. There are 2 + 2 = 4 rows that are all blue. Thus, a total of 4 x 15 = 60 squares are colored blue. 24 + 60 = 84 squares are color red or blue. Therefore, 150 - 84 = 66 square are green. The answer is 66.
