[Question]At a garage sale, Tish bought 4 items: a red horseshoe magnet, two stuffed animals, and a large sticker which read, "Why can't teachers solve their own math problems?" The magnet cost three times more than the sticker, but only one quarter the price of the two stuffed animals combined. If the Magnet cost $3, how much, in dollars, did a single stuffed animal cost?
[Answer]If the magnet cost 3 - times more than the sticker, the sticker cost 3 / 1 = 1 dollar. If the magnet cost 1 / 4 the price of the two stuffed animals combined, then two stuffed animals cost 3 * 4 = 12 dollars. Thus, a single stuffed animal cost 12 / 2 = 6 dollars. The answer is 6.
Q: Tony has to run several errands in a day. He needs to drive 10 miles to get groceries, 15 miles to get a haircut and 5 miles to go to a doctor's appointment. How many miles will Tony have driven when he is halfway through driving around for his errands?
A: First, we need to find the total number of miles Tony will be driving by adding 10 + 15 + 5 = 30 miles in total. To determine the halfway point, we simply divide the total number of miles by 2, performing 30 / 2 = 15 miles driven when Tony is halfway done. The answer is 15.
Question: Tom reads 10 hours over 5 days. He can read 50 pages per hour. Assuming he reads the same amount every day how many pages does he read in 7 days?
Answer: He reads 10 / 5 = 2 hours per day. That means he reads 2 * 50 = 100 pages per day. So he reads 100 * 7 = 700 pages in 7 days. The answer is 700.
[Question]A park is 1000 feet long and 2000 feet wide. If there is 1 tree per 20 square feet, how many trees are there in the park?
[Answer]The park is 2,000,000 square feet because 1000 * 2000 = 2,000,000. Thus, there are 100,000 trees in the park because 2,000,000 / 20 = 100,000. The answer is 100000.
Q: Sam shared a sum of money between his three cousins Sandra, Amy and Ruth in the ratio 2:1:3 respectively. If Amy got $50, how much did Sandra get?
A: Going by the ratio, for every 1 part that Amy gets, Sandra will get 2 parts. Since Amy got $50, Sandra will get 2 * $50 = $100. The answer is 100.
Question: Parker is 4 inches shorter than Daisy. Daisy is 8 inches taller than Reese. If Reese is 60 inches tall, what is the average height for the three of them?
Answer:
Since Daisy is 6 inches taller than Reese, she must be 60 inches + 8 inches = 68 inches tall. Parker is 4 inches shorter than Daisy, making her 68 inches 4 inches = 64 inches. The average height of the three of them is (60 inches + 68 inches + 64 inches) / 3 = 64 inches. The answer is 64.
