Answer the following question.
A movie that's 1.5 hours long is being replayed 6 times in one movie theater each day. There is a 20-minute advertisement before the start of the movie. How long, in hours, does the movie theater operate each day?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The movie that is being replayed 6 times takes 1.5 x 6 = 9 hours. The advertisements before the start of the movie take 20 x 6 = 120 minutes in all. One hundred twenty minutes is equal to 120 / 60 = 2 hours. Thus, the movie theater operates for 9 + 2 = 11 hours each day.
The answer is 11.

Answer the following question.
Beth went shopping. She bought 15 more cans of peas than twice the number of cans of corn that she bought. If she bought 35 cans of peas, how many cans of corn did she buy?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Let the number of cans of corn she bought be a. Twice the number of corn cans is 2 * a = 2a. The 35 cans of peas were 15 more than twice the number of corn cans which means 15 + 2a = 35. Solving the equation: 2a = 20. a = 20 / 2 = 10 cans of corn.
The answer is 10.
