[Question]Sherman has a 30-minute commute to the office and a 30-minute commute home every day. On the weekends, he spends 2 hours, each day, driving his kids to their different activities. How many hours does Sherman drive a week?
[Answer]He drives 30 minutes to work and 30 minutes home every day for a total of 30 + 30 = 60 minutes. He makes this drive 5 days a week for a total of 5 * 60 = 300 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour and he drives 300 minutes, 5 days a week so that's 300 / 60 = 5 hours. He drives 2 hours on both Saturday and Sunday so he drives 2 * 2 = 4 hours on the weekends. He commutes 5 hours during the week and spends 4 hours driving on the weekend for a total of 5 + 4 = 9 hours. The answer is 9.
Q: William's class set a goal each week of the number of cans of food that is to be collected. On the first day, 20 cans were collected. Then the number of cans increased by 5 each day. If they collected 5 days a week to reach their goal, how many cans of food was their goal per week?
A: On the second day, they collected 20 + 5 = 25 cans. On the third day, they collected 25 + 5 = 30 cans. On the fourth day, they collected 30 + 5 = 35 cans. On the fifth day, they collected 35 + 5 = 40 cans. Thus, the goal of William's class is to collect a total of 20 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 40 = 150 cans of food per week. The answer is 150.
Question: A movie that's 1.5 hours long is being replayed 6 times in one movie theater each day. There is a 20-minute advertisement before the start of the movie. How long, in hours, does the movie theater operate each day?
