Question: Max loves to play video games. He played for 2 hours on Wednesday and the same time on Thursday. On Friday his friends came to play together with him, so Max spent over three hours more on playing than on Wednesday. How many hours on average has Max spent playing video games during these three days?
Answer: Max played on Friday three hours more than on Wednesday, so he played for 2 + 3 = 5 hours. In total he played 2 + 2 + 5 = 9 hours. He was playing for three days, so on average, he spent 9 / 3 = 3 hours playing video games every day. The answer is 3.
[Question]Juanico is 4 years less than half the age of Gladys. If Gladys will be 40 years old ten years from now, calculate Juanico's age 30 years from now.
[Answer]If Gladys will be 40 years old ten years from now, she is 40 - 10 = 30 years old currently. Juanico is 4 years less than half the age of Gladys, meaning he is 4 years younger than 1 / 2 * 30 = 15 years. Juanico's age is 15 - 4 = 11 years. Juanico's age 30 years from now will be 30 + 11 = 41 years. The answer is 41.
Q: Sarah is checking out books from the library to read on vacation. She can read 40 words per minute. The books she is checking out have 100 words per page and are 80 pages long. She will be reading for 20 hours. How many books should she check out?
A: Each book has 8,000 words because 100 x 80 = 8,000. She can finish each book in 200 minutes because 8,000 / 40 = 200. She will be reading for 1,200 minutes because 20 x 60 = 1,200. She needs to check out 6 books because 1,200 / 200 = 6. The answer is 6.

Q: Lindsey bought 2 exercise bands to intensify her workout. Each band adds an extra 5 pounds of resistance to her workout. If she doubles up both sets of bands and places them around her legs and picks up a 10-pound dumbbell, how much weight will she squat?
A:
She has 2 exercise bands that are both 5 pounds of resistance so that's 2 * 5 = 10 pounds. She has a pair of 10 - pound dumbbells so that's 2 * 10 = 20 pounds. With both the bands and dumbbells, she will squat 10 + 20 = 30 pounds. The answer is 30.
