Q: If 2 machines in a factory make 10 cell phones each minute, how many machines would it take to make 50 cell phones a minute?
A: First, we need to determine how many cell phones each machine makes per minute. We do this by performing 10 / 2 = 5 cell phones each minute per machine. Next, we determine how many machines are needed in total by dividing the desired outcome of 50 by the rate of production of an individual machine, finding 50 / 5 = 10 machines needed. The answer is 10.
Question: When Herman's team is busy working on large projects he stops at the drive-through 5 days, every week to buy a breakfast combo for himself and 3 members of his team. Each meal costs $4.00. This current project will last 16 weeks. How much will Herman spend on breakfast?
Answer: Herman buys himself and 3 team members breakfast 5 days a week so that's 4 * 5 = 20 breakfast combo meals. Each combo meals costs $4.00 and he buys 20 of them a week so that's 4 * 20 = $80.00. Over a 16 week period he spends 16 * 80 = $1,280.00 on breakfast. The answer is 1280.
[Question]A house's living room, dining room and kitchen take up 1,000 sq ft. The house also has a guest bedroom and a master bedroom suite. If the guest bedroom is a quarter of the size of the master bedroom suite, and the house is 2,300 sq ft total, how large is the master bedroom suite?
[Answer]The house is 2,300 sq ft and we know the non - bedroom sections take up 1,000 sq ft, so that leaves 2300 - 1000 = 1,300 sq ft for the bedrooms / bathrooms. Let x be the size of the master bedroom suite. Then the guest bedroom is 0.25x. So together the bedrooms are x + 0.25x = 1.25x in size. This means 1.25x = 1300. So x = 1300 / 1.25 = 1040 sq ft. The answer is 1040.
Q: A mathematician is working on two projects. He has one week to write 518 maths questions for one project and 476 questions for another project. If he completes the same number of questions every day, how many should he aim to complete each day?
A: The writer is going to write 518 questions + 476 questions = 994 questions in 7 days. He should aim to do 994 questions 7 days = 142 questions / day. The answer is 142.
Question: A book is 98 pages long. Half of the pages are filled with images, and 11 with an introduction. Of the remaining pages, half are blank and the other half are filled with text. How many pages with text are there?
Answer: Half of the pages are images, which means 98 * 0.5 = 49 pages. So there are 98 - 49 - 11 pages for the introduction = 38 remaining pages. Half of the remaining pages are filled with text, which means 38 * 0.5 = 19 pages. The answer is 19.
Q: A man owned 1/2 of a lot. He sold 1/10 of his share for the amount of $460. What is the worth of the entire lot?
A:
If 1 / 10 of the man's lot is equal to $460, then the man's land is worth $460 x 10 = $4600. Since 1 / 2 of the whole lot is worth $4600, then the whole lot is worth $4600 x 2 = $9200. The answer is 9200.
