Question: Jason is planning a parking garage that will have 12 floors. Every 3rd floor has a gate where drivers have to show ID, which takes two minutes. To get from one floor to the next, drivers have to drive 800 feet at 10 feet/second. How long, in seconds, does it take to get to the bottom of the garage from the top?
Answer: First find the total number of gates someone has to pass through: 12 floors / 3 floors / gate = 4 gates. Then find the total time someone spends waiting at the gates: 4 gates * 2 minutes / gate = 8 minutes. Then convert that time to seconds: 8 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 480 seconds. Then find the time to drive through one floor in seconds: 800 feet / 10 feet / second = 80 seconds. Then multiply the time per floor by the number of floors to find the total driving time: 80 seconds / floor * 12 floors = 960 seconds. Then add the total driving time to the total time waiting at the gates to find the total time to get to the bottom: 960 seconds + 480 seconds = 1440 seconds. The answer is 1440.
[Question]Three train stations are 2 hours apart from one another. Kira travels from the first station to the third, taking a 30 minutes break at the second station. What's the total time, in minutes, that Kira takes to travel between the first and third station?
[Answer]Travel between the three stations takes 2 + 2 = 4 hours. The total time for the journey is 4 * 60 = 240 minutes. If Kira takes a 30 - minute break, her journey takes 240 + 30 = 270 minutes. The answer is 270.
Q: Martha spends 10 minutes turning the router off and on again, six times that long on hold with Comcast, and half as much time as she spent on hold yelling at a customer service representative. How much time did Martha spend on these activities total?
A: First find the total time Martha spent on hold: 10 minutes * 6 = 60 minutes. Then find the time she spent yelling: 60 minutes / 2 = 30 minutes. Then add all the amount of time to find the total time: 60 minutes + 30 minutes + 10 minutes = 100 minutes. The answer is 100.
Question: Cary walks 3 miles round-trip to the grocery store, where he buys and eats a candy bar with 200 calories. If Cary burns 150 calories per mile walked, what's Cary's net calorie deficit (expressed as a positive number)?
Answer: First, find how many calories the walk burned by multiplying the calories burned per mile by the number of miles Cary walked: 3 miles * 150 calories / mile = 450 calories. Then subtract the calories Corey ate to find the net calories Cary burned: 450 calories - 200 calories = 250 calories. The answer is 250.
[Question]Derek was 6 years old when he had three times as many dogs as cars. Ten years later, after selling some of his dogs and buying 210 more cars, the number of cars became twice the number of dogs. How many dogs does Derek have now if he had 90 dogs when he was six years old?
[Answer]At six years old, with three times as many dogs as cars, Derek had 90 / 3 = 30 cars. Ten years later, after buying 210 more cars, Derek has 210 + 30 = 240 cars. Since the number of cars is twice as many as the number of dogs, Derek currently has 240 / 2 = 120 dogs. The answer is 120.
[Question]Javier has a wife and 3 children. They have 2 dogs and 1 cat. Including Javier, how many legs are there in total in Javier's household?
[Answer]
For the humans in the house, there are 5 * 2 = 10 legs. Javier has a total of 2 + 1 = 3 four - legged pets. For the pets in the house, there are 3 * 4 = 12 legs. There are a total of 10 + 12 = 22 legs. The answer is 22.
