Q: Wendy works at a chocolate factory packing chocolates. She can package 2 dozen chocolates in 5 minutes. How many individual chocolates can she package in 4 hours?
A: There are 60 minutes in an hour and she packs chocolate in 5 - minute increments. So that's 60 / 5 = 12 5 minute increments in 1 hour. 12 chocolates make 1 dozen and she packages 2 dozen in 5 minutes so that's 12 * 2 = 24 chocolates in 5 minutes. 12 5 minute increments are in an hour and she packages 24 chocolates in 5 minutes so she can package 12 * 24 = 288 individual chocolates in 1 hour. If she packages 288 individual chocolates in 1 hour then in 4 hours she can package 288 * 4 = 1,152 individual chocolates. The answer is 1152.
Question: John has a large water collection tank. The tank can hold 200 gallons. It weighs 80 pounds empty. A rainstorm fills it to 80% of capacity. If a gallon of water weighs 8 pounds, how much does it weigh now?
Answer: The tank has 200 * .8 = 160 gallons of water in it. That water weighs 160 * 8 = 1280 pounds. So in total it weighs 1280 + 80 = 1360 pounds. The answer is 1360.
[Question]The running time of Beast of War: Armoured Command is 10 minutes longer than that of Alpha Epsilon, which is 30 minutes shorter than that of Millennium. If Millennium runs for 2 hours, what is the running time of Beast of War: Armoured Command in minutes?
[Answer]One hour contains 60 minutes so 2 hours contain 60 * 2 = 120 minutes. Alpha Epsilon's running time is 30 minutes less than that of Millennium (which runs for 120 minutes) hence 120 - 30 = 90 minutes. Beast of War: Armoured Command runs for 10 minutes more than Alpha Epsilon hence 90 + 10 = 100 minutes. The answer is 100.
Q: Mr. Reyansh has a dairy farm with 40 cows. Each cow on the farm drinks 80 liters of water daily. He also has a sheep ranch with 10 times the number of cows, with each sheep drinking 1/4 times as much water as a cow does. How many liters of water does Mr. Reyansh use to water all of his animals in a week?
A: If a cow drinks 80 liters of water in a day, it drinks 80 * 7 = 560 liters of water per week. Mr. Reyansh has 40 cows drinking 560 liters of water a week, totaling 560 * 40 = 22400 liters. In the ranch, a sheep drinks 1 / 4 * 80 = 20 liters of water in a day. The total amount of liters a sheep drinks in a week is 20 * 7 = 140 liters. Mr. Reyansh has ten times as many sheep as cows, that is 10 * 40 = 400 sheep. If each sheep drinks 140 liters of water in a week, 400 sheep drinks 400 * 140 = 56000 liters of water. Together, the cows and sheep drink 56000 + 22400 = 78400 liters of water per week. The answer is 78400.
Question: Mikey likes his honey cluster of oats cereal. In each spoonful, there are 4 clusters of oats. In each bowl of cereal, he gets 25 spoonfuls of cereal. If each box of cereal contains 500 clusters of oats, how many bowlfuls of cereal are in each box?
Answer: If each spoonful contains 4 clusters of oats, and each bowl of cereal has 25 spoonfuls, then in each bowl there are 4 * 25 = 100 clusters of oats. And If each box of cereal contains 500 clusters of oats, then there are 500 / 100 = 5 bowlfuls of cereal in every box. The answer is 5.
Q: Theon's ship can move 15 nautical miles per hour while Yara's ship can move 30 nautical miles per hour. If their destination is 90 nautical miles away, how many hours ahead will Yara be ahead of Theon?
A:
Theon's estimated time of arrival is 90 / 15 = 6 hours. Yara's estimated time of arrival is 90 / 30 = 3 hours. Therefore, Yara is ahead by 6 - 3 = 3 hours. The answer is 3.
