Question: Greg drives 30 miles from his workplace to the farmer's market. After buying his groceries at the farmers market, he drives home. To get home, he travels for 30 minutes at 20 miles per hour. How many miles in total does Greg travel?
Answer: We must first convert minutes to hours, so 30 minutes * (1 hour / 60 minutes) = 0.5 hours. The number of miles Greg travels on his trip home is 0.5 hours * 20 mph = 10 miles. The total miles Greg travels is 10 + 30 = 40 miles. The answer is 40.

Question: Jennifer's boyfriend left 5 texts about the grocery shopping, 5 times more texts asking why she wasn't responding, and a number of texts equal to 10% of all the texts he sent previously saying he was calling the police. How many texts did he send total?
Answer: First find how many texts Jennifer's boyfriend sent asking why she wasn't responding: 5 texts * 5 = 25 texts. Then add that number to the number of grocery shopping texts: 25 texts + 5 texts = 30 texts. Then multiply that number by 10% to find how many texts he sent about calling the police: 30 texts * 10% = 3 texts. Then added how many texts of each kind he sent to find the total number of texts he sent: 3 texts + 30 texts = 33 texts. The answer is 33.

[Question]Ricciana and Margarita joined in their school's long jump event. Ricciana ran and jumped a total of 24 feet - 20 feet for running and 4 feet for jumping. Margarita ran for 18 feet and jumped 1 foot less than twice Ricciana's jump. How much farther did Margarita run and jump than Ricciana?
[Answer]
Twice the distance of Ricciana's jump is 4 x 2 = 8 feet. So, Margarita jumped 8 - 1 = 7 feet. Margarita ran and jumped for 18 + 7 = 25 feet in all. So, Margarita ran and jumped 25 - 24 = 1 foott more than Ricciana. The answer is 1.
