[Question]Every 2 years, the number of swans at Rita's pond doubles. Currently, there are 15 swans in the pond. How many swans will there be in ten years?
[Answer]If currently there are 15 swans in the pond, in two years' time there will be 15 * 2 = 30 swans. In another two years, the number of swans in the pond will double to 2 * 30 = 60 swans. In another two years, the number of swans in the pond will double to 2 * 60 = 120 swans. If after 6 years there are 120 swans in the pond, in eight years times there will be 2 * 120 = 240 swans. In another two years, which is 10 years, there will be 2 * 240 = 480 swans in the pond. The answer is 480.
Q: Jessie won 3 times as many athletic awards as his buddy Scott, who won 4 awards. The best athlete at the rival high school won twice as many awards as Jessie. How many awards did the rival win?
A: Jessie won 3 times the amount of the 4 awards that Scott won so he won 3 * 4 = 12 awards. The rival athlete won twice the awards as Jessie, who won 12 so he won 2 * 12 = 24 awards. The answer is 24.
Question: James does chores around the class. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 living room, and 2 bathrooms to clean. The bedrooms each take 20 minutes to clean. The living room takes as long as the 3 bedrooms combined. The bathroom takes twice as long as the living room. He also cleans the outside which takes twice as long as cleaning the house. He splits the chores with his 2 siblings who are just as fast as him. How long, in hours, does he work?
Answer: It takes 3 * 20 = 60 minutes to clean the living room. So it is 60 / 60 = 1 hour. The bathroom takes 1 * 2 = 2 hours. So all together the inside takes 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 hours. The outside takes 4 * 2 = 8 hours. So the chores take 4 + 8 = 12 hours. He splits it 1 + 2 = 3 ways. So he works 12 / 3 = 4 hours. The answer is 4.
[Question]Camila has only gone hiking 7 times in her life. Amanda has gone on 8 times as many hikes as Camila, and Steven has gone on 15 more hikes than Amanda. If Camila wants to say that she has hiked as many times as Steven and plans to go on 4 hikes a week, how many weeks would it take Camila to achieve her goal?
[Answer]Amanda has gone on 7 hikes x 8 = 56 hikes. Steven has gone on 56 hikes + 15 hikes = 71 hikes. Camila needs to go on another 71 hikes - 7 hikes = 64 hikes. Camila will achieve her goal in 64 hikes / 4 hikes / week = 16 weeks. The answer is 16.
[Question]If there are four times as many apples as oranges in a certain fruit basket and the basket has 15 apples, how many fruits would Emiliano have consumed if he eats 2/3 of each fruit's quantity in the basket?
[Answer]
If there are four times as many apples as oranges in a certain fruit basket, with the number of apples being 15, there are 15 * 4 = 60 oranges in the basket. If Emiliano eats 2 / 3 of the oranges in the basket, he would have taken 2 / 3 * 60 = 40 oranges from the basket. With the number of apples in the basket being 15, if Emiliano eats 2 / 3 of them, 2 / 3 * 15 = 10 apples would have been eaten by Emiliano. The total number of fruits eaten by Emiliano will total 10 + 40 = 50. The answer is 50.
