[Question]Bob can shuck 10 oysters in 5 minutes. How many oysters can he shuck in 2 hours?
[Answer]He shucks 10 oysters in 5 minutes we need to know how many 5 minute units are in 60 minutes so 60 / 5 = 12 units. He can shuck 10 oysters in 5 minutes and there are 12 5 minute units in an hour so he can shuck 10 * 12 = 120 oysters in 1 hour. If he can shuck 120 oysters in 1 hour, so for 2 hours in can shuck 2 * 120 = 240 oysters. The answer is 240.
Q: Alex and Max are running a race against each other. At the beginning of the race they are even with each other for 200 feet. Then Alex gets ahead of Max by 300 feet. Then Max gets ahead of Alex by 170 feet. Alex gets a burst of speed and gets ahead of Max by 440 feet. If the road they're running on is 5000 feet long, how many feet are there left for Max to catch up to Alex?
A: So far Alex and Max are running the race for 200 + 300 + 170 + 440 = 1,110 feet. If the road they're racing each other on is 5000 feet long, 5000 - 1,110 feet = 3,890 feet left for Max to catch up to Alex. The answer is 3890.
Question: In a class of 25 students, students were asked if they like French fries, burgers, or neither. 15 students said they like French fries and 10 said they like burgers, with these statistics including the responses of 6 students who said they like both French fries and burgers. How many students do not like either food?
Answer: There are 15 - 6 = 9 students who like French fries only. There are 10 - 6 = 4 students who like burgers only. So, 9 + 4 + 6 = 19 students like either French fries, burgers, or both. Hence, 25 - 19 = 6 students do not like either fries or burgers. The answer is 6.
