Question: Mark and Peter dug ponds in their backyards. Mark's pond is 4 feet deeper than 3 times Peter's pond. If Mark's pond is 19 feet deep, what is the depth of Peter's pond?
Answer: Let's use p for the number of feet in Mark's pond. 3 * p + 4 = 19. 3 * p = 19 - 4 = 15. 3p = 15. p = 5. The answer is 5.
[Question]Emily is on a flight from New York to Hawaii that is 10 hours long. To kill time, she watches 3 TV episodes that are each 25 minutes long. Then she sleeps for 4 and a half hours. Then she watches 2 movies that are each an hour and 45 minutes long. After doing all these things, assuming there is no break time between activities, how many more minutes are left in the flight before Emily reaches Hawaii.
[Answer]Emily spends 3 episodes * 25 minutes = 75 minutes watching TV. Emily spends 4.5 hours * 60 minutes = 270 minutes sleeping. Emily spends 2 movies * 1.75 hours * 60 minutes = 210 minutes watching movies. The total time spent doing activities is 75 + 270 + 210 = 555 minutes. The total length of the flight is 10 hours * 60 minutes = 600 minutes. The number of minutes remaining in the flight is 600 - 555 = 45 minutes. The answer is 45.
Q: Salaria is growing oranges this summer. She bought two types of trees. She has 50% of tree A and 50% of tree B. Tree A gives her 10 oranges a month and 60% are good. Tree B gives her 15 oranges and 1/3 are good. If she gets 55 good oranges per month, how many total trees does she have?
A: Each tree A gives her six good oranges a month 10 x .6 = 6. Each tree B gives her five good oranges a month because 15 x (1 / 3) = 5. On average, a tree gives her 5.5 oranges a month because .5(6) + .5(5) = 5.5. She has ten total trees because 55 / 5.5 = 10. The answer is 10.
Question: Three train stations are 2 hours apart from one another. Kira travels from the first station to the third, taking a 30 minutes break at the second station. What's the total time, in minutes, that Kira takes to travel between the first and third station?
Answer: Travel between the three stations takes 2 + 2 = 4 hours. The total time for the journey is 4 * 60 = 240 minutes. If Kira takes a 30 - minute break, her journey takes 240 + 30 = 270 minutes. The answer is 270.
[Question]A store offers a $2 discount for every $10 purchase on any item in the store. Kataleya went to the store and bought 400 peaches sold at forty cents each. Calculate the total amount of money she paid at the store for the fruits.
[Answer]The total cost for the peaches was 400 * $0.40 = $160. The total count of 10 dollar purchases Kataleya received a discount on was $160 / $10 = 16. If each purchase had a $2 discount, the total discount she received is 16 * $2 = $32. She purchased the peaches at $160 - $32 = $128. The answer is 128.
