Julio has four bottles of orange soda and seven bottles of grape soda in his fridge. His friend Mateo has a bottle of orange soda and 3 bottles of grape soda in his fridge. If the amount of beverage in each bottle is 2 liters, how many more liters of soda does Julio have?
Let's think: Julio has 4 * 2 = 8 liters of orange soda. Julio also has 7 * 2 = 14 liters of grape soda. Julio therefore has a total of 8 + 14 = 22 liters of soda. The amount of orange soda that Mateo has is 1 * 2 = 2 liters of orange soda. In addition, Mateo has 3 * 2 = 6 liters of grape soda. In total, Mateo has 2 + 6 = 8 liters of soda. This means that Julio has 22 - 8 = 14 liters more of soda.. The answer is: 14.

Cindy can run at 3 miles per hour and walk at 1 mile per hour. If she runs for half a mile and then walks for half a mile, how many minutes will it take her to travel the full mile?
Let's think: It will take her 0.5 miles / 3 mph * (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 10 minutes to run half a mile. It will take her 0.5 miles / 1 mph * (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 30 minutes to walk half a mile. Her total time is 10 + 30 = 40 minutes.. The answer is: 40.

To increase her water intake to the recommended level by her doctor, Happy has to take 40% more cups of water than she takes now. If she is currently drinking 15 cups of water every week, what's the recommended number of cups per week?
Let's think: Happy has to take 40 / 100 * 15 = 6 more cups of water than she takes currently to reach the recommended water intake levels by her doctor. In total, she is supposed to drink 6 + 15 = 21 cups of water every week.. The answer is: 21.

Michelangelo has 28 ceilings to paint. This week, he paints 12 of them. Next week, he will paint 1/4 the number of ceilings he did this week. How many ceilings will be left to paint after next week?
Let's think:
After this week, Michelangelo will have 28 - 12 = 16 more ceilings to paint. Next week, Michelangelo will paint 12 / 4 = 3 ceilings. Michelangelo will have 16 - 3 = 13 more ceilings to paint.. The answer is: 13.
