Question: Miles is going to spend 1/6 of a day reading. He will read comic books, graphic novels, and novels. He reads 21 pages an hour when he reads novels, 30 pages an hour when he reads graphic novels, and 45 pages an hour when he reads comic books. If he reads each for 1/3 of his time, how many pages does he read?
Answer: Miles will read for 4 hours because 24 x (1 / 6) = 4. He will read each type for 1 and 1 / 3 hours because 4 / 3 = 1 and 1 / 3. He will read 28 pages of novels because 21 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 28. He will read 40 pages of graphic novels because 30 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 40. He will read 60 pages of comic books because 45 x (1 and 1 / 3) = 60. He will read 128 pages in total because 28 + 40 + 60 = 128. The answer is 128.

A: 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.
Question: Frank has 7 one-dollar bills, 4 five-dollar bills, 2 ten-dollar bills, and 1 twenty-dollar bill. He goes to buy peanuts, which cost $3 a pound. He buys what he wants and has $4 in change. He plans to eat the peanuts all in one week. How many pounds does he eat on average per day?
Answer: Frank has $7 in one dollar bills because 7 x 1 = 7. Frank has $20 in five dollar bills because 4 x 5 = 20. Frank has $20 in ten dollar bills because 2 x 10 = 20. Frank has 67 dollars in total because 7 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 67. Frank spent $63 because 67 - 4 = 63. Frank bought 21 pounds of peanuts because 63 / 3 = 21. He eats 3 pounds a day on average because 21 / 7 = 3. The answer is 3.
