Question: A Lamplighter monkey has long arms and can swing from branch to branch at a speed of 10 feet per second. But when the monkey is frightened, it will run along the branches at a speed of 15 feet per second. If a Lamplighter monkey runs for 5 seconds to evade a predator, then swings for another 10 seconds to add distance between itself and the predator, how far, in feet, will the monkey travel?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: At a speed of 15 feet per second, for 5 seconds, the monkey will travel 5 * 15 = 75 feet. At a speed of 10 feet per second for 10 seconds, the monkey will travel 10 * 10 = 100 feet. In total, the monkey will travel 75 + 100 = 175 feet.
So the answer is 175.

Question: Jerry can run from his house to his school and back in the time it takes his brother Carson to run to the school. If it takes Jerry 15 minutes to make a one-way trip from his house to his school and the school is 4 miles away, how fast does Carson run in miles per hour?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: We know that Carson takes twice as long as Jerry to get to the school, so we can find the time it takes him by multiplying Jerry's time by 2: 15 minutes * 2 = 30 minutes. Then convert that time to house by dividing by 60 minutes / hour = 30 minutes / 60 minutes / hour = .5 hour. Then divide the distance Carson runs by the time it takes him to run it to find his speed: 4 miles / 0.5 hours = 8 miles / hour.
So the answer is 8.

Question: Tom, Tim, and Paul are collecting photos of cars. Paul has 10 photos more than Tim. Tim has one hundred photos less than the total amount of photos which is 152. How many photos does Tom have?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Tim has 152 photos - 100 photos = 52 photos. When Tim has 52 photos, then Paul has 52 + 10 photos = 62 photos. Tim and Paul have together 52 photos + 62 photos = 114 photos. That leaves Tom with 152 photos - 114 photos = 38 photos.
So the answer is 38.
