[Question]Diana needs to bike 10 miles to get home. She can bike 3 mph for two hours before she gets tired, and she can bike 1 mph until she gets home. How long will it take Diana to get home?
[Answer]In the first part of her trip, Diana will cover 2 hours * 3 mph = 6 miles. In the second part of her trip, Diana will need to cover an additional 10 miles - 6 miles = 4 miles.

Q: There are four growing trees. The first tree grows 1 meter/day, the second grows the same amount in half the time, the third grows 2 meters/day, and the fourth tree grows a meter more than the third each day. How many meters did the trees grow in total in 4 days?
A: The second tree grows 1 * 2 = 2 meters a day. The fourth tree grows 2 + 1 = 3 meters a day. The first tree grows 4 * 1 = 4 meters in 4 days. The second tree grows 2 * 4 = 8 meters in 4 days. The third tree grows 2 * 4 = 8 meters in 4 days. The fourth tree grows 3 * 4 = 12 meters in 4 days. In 4 days, all four trees grew 4 + 8 + 8 + 12 = 32 meters combined. The answer is 32.
Question: Chip takes 2 pages of notes every day, 5 days a week, for each of his 5 classes. His notebook paper comes in packs of 100 sheets of paper per pack. After 6 weeks, how many packs of notebook paper will Chip use?
Answer: He takes 2 pages of notes every day for each of his 5 classes so that's 2 * 5 = 10 pages of notes. He takes 10 pages of notes every day for 5 days so that's 10 * 5 = 50 pages of notes. If he takes 50 pages of notes every week for 6 weeks that's 50 * 6 = 300 pages of notes. His notebook paper comes 100 pages per pack and he has taken 300 pages of notes so he used 300 / 100 = 3 packs of notebook paper. The answer is 3.

[Question]A movie theater company is advertising a deal of a movie ticket, a bucket of popcorn, a drink, and a box of candy for $20. Normally, a movie ticket costs $8, a bucket of popcorn costs three dollars less, a drink costs a dollar more than popcorn, and a candy costs half as much as a drink. How many dollars does the deal save a customer who buys a ticket, popcorn, drink, and candy normally?
[Answer]
The popcorn costs 8 - 3 = $5. The drink costs 5 + 1 = $6. The candy costs 6 / 2 = $3. The normal price is 8 + 5 + 6 + 3 = $22. Thus, the deal saves a customer 22 - 20 = $2. The answer is 2.
