Question: Keaton climbed a 30 feet ladder twenty times while working at the construction site. Reece, also working at the same site, climbed a ladder 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder 15 times. What's the total length of the ladders that both workers climbed in inches?
Answer: If Keaton climbed his ladder twenty times, he covered a length of 30 * 20 = 600 feet. Reece's ladder, 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder, was 30 - 4 = 26 feet long. If Reece climbed the ladder 15 times, he covered a length of 15 * 26 = 390 feet. Keaton and Reece's total length covered while climbing the ladders is 390 + 600 = 990 feet. Since one foot is equal to 12 inches, the total length they climbed the ladders in inches is 12 * 990 = 11880 inches. The answer is 11880.

Question: Zion made a triangular-shaped house of cards with the base having a measurement of 40 centimeters and a height of 20 centimeters. If two of his friends also built similar shaped houses, what's the total area of the triangular houses that Zion and his friends made (the area of a triangle is 1/2 * width * height)?
Answer: Since the area of a triangle is given by 1 / 2 base * height, the area of the triangular - shaped house of cards that Zion made is 1 / 2 * 40 * 20 = 400 square centimeters. If two of his friend also built similar shaped houses, the total area of their triangular - shaped house of cards is 400 + 400 = 800 square centimeters. Together with Zion, they all built triangular - shaped houses of cards with a combined area of 800 + 400 = 1200 square centimeters. The answer is 1200.

Question: An aquarium holds an equal number of clownfish and blowfish. 26 of the blowfish stay in their own tank, and the remaining blowfish swim into a display tank. An equal number of clownfish join the blowfish in the display tank, but then a third of these clownfish swim back into their own tank. If the aquarium holds a combined total of 100 fish, how many clownfish are now in the display tank?
Answer: There is an equal number of clownfish and blowfish, which means there are 100 fish / 2 = 50 blowfish. Since some stay in their tanks, there are 50 blowfish 26 blowfish = 24 blowfish in the display tank. There were the same amount of clownfish until 24 clownfish / 3 = 8 clownfish swam back to their own tank. This leaves 24 clownfish 8 clownfish = 16 clownfish in the display tank. The answer is 16.

Question: One serving of soup has 1 cup of vegetables and 2.5 cups of broth. How many pints of vegetables and broth combined would be needed for 8 servings?
