Q: Sonja makes her own peanut butter with peanuts and oil in a blender. She uses a ratio of two ounces of oil to smooth out every eight ounces of peanuts. Her last batch of peanut butter weighed 20 ounces. How many ounces of oil did she use?
A: Sonja uses 2 ounces of oil for 8 ounces of peanuts to make 2 + 8 = 10 ounces of peanut butter. Her last batch weighed 20 ounces, so she made 20 / 10 = 2 times her ratio. Thus, she used 2 * 2 = 4 ounces of oil. The answer is 4.
Question: A portable computer drive has enough kilobytes of storage space to store 2000 photos. Each photo is 1.5 kilobytes in size. How many 200-kilobyte videos can it store if it already has 400 photos on it?
Answer: The drive has 1.5 * 2000 = 3000 kilobytes of storage space. It already has 1.5 * 400 = 600 kilobytes of storage space taken up. Thus, it has 3000 - 600 = 2400 kilobytes of space left. The portable drive can store 2400 / 200 = 12 200 - kilobyte videos on it with 400 photos. The answer is 12.
[Question]Rachel and Sara want to attend a beauty and modeling contest. They both want to buy new pairs of shoes and dresses. Sara buys a pair of shoes which costs $50 and a dress which costs $200. How much should Rachel budget if she wants to spend twice as much as what Sara spent on the pair of shoes and dress?
[Answer]The cost Rachel should budget for her pair of shoes is $50 * 2 = $100. The cost Rachel should budget for her dress is $200 * 2 = $400. The total Rachel should budget is $100 + $400 = $500. The answer is 500.
Q: Henry, John and Leo collected some seashells from the beach. Henry collected 11, Paul 24. If they initially collected 59 seashells in total and Leo gave a quarter of his collection to a younger kid they met, how many do they have in total now?
A: Henry and Paul collected a total of 11 + 24 = 35 seashells. To make a total of 59, Leo must have collected 59 - 35 = 24 seashells. He gave out a quarter of 24 seashells which is 24 * (1 / 4) = 6 seashells. They are now left with 59 - 6 = 53 seashells. The answer is 53.
Question: Mark wants to set the record for most consecutive ropes jumped. The record is 54,000. He can jump 3 times a second. How many hours would he need to jump rope?
Answer: He can jump 3 * 60 = 180 times per minute. So he can jump 180 * 60 = 10,800 per hour. So it would take him 54,000 / 10,800 = 5 hours. The answer is 5.
Q: Tamika drove for 8 hours at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. Logan drove for 5 hours at 55 miles an hour. How many miles farther did Tamika drive?
A:
Tamika drove 8 hours * 45 mph = 360 miles. Logan drove 5 hours * 55 mph = 275 miles. 360 - 275 = 85 miles. Tamika drove 85 miles farther. The answer is 85.
