Q: Ishmael, Ponce, and Jalen measured their weight and realized Ishmael was 20 pounds heavier than Ponce and that Ponce was 10 pounds lighter than Jalen. If Jalen weighed 160 pounds, calculate the average weight of the three?
A: Since Ponce weighs 10 pounds lighter than Jalen, he weighs 160 - 10 = 150 pounds. The sum of Jalen and Ponce's weight is 150 + 160 = 310 pounds. Ishmael is 20 pounds heavier than Ponce, meaning he weighs 150 + 20 = 170 pounds. The total weight of the three is 310 + 170 = 480 pounds. The average weight of the three is the total weight divided by their number, which totals 480 / 3 = 160 pounds. The answer is 160.
Question: Chris has twelve marbles, and Ryan has twenty-eight marbles. If they put marbles together in a pile and then each takes away 1/4 of marbles from the pile, calculate the number of marbles remaining in the pile.
Answer: If Chris and Ryan put together their marbles in a pile, the pile will have 12 + 28 = 40 marbles. If they then take 1 / 4 of the marbles each, every person will receive 1 / 4 * 40 = 10 marbles. Both of them will have taken a total of 10 + 10 = 20 marbles. The number of marbles remaining in the pile is 40 - 20 = 20. The answer is 20.
[Question]Bill needs to soak his clothes for 4 minutes to get rid of each grass stain and 7 additional minutes to get rid of each marinara stain. If his clothes have 3 grass stains and 1 marinara stain, how long does he need to soak them?
[Answer]First find the total soaking time to get rid of the grass stains: 4 minutes / stain * 3 stains = 12 minutes. Then add the soak time for the marinara to find the total soak time: 12 minutes + 7 minutes = 19 minutes. The answer is 19.
Q: Ivan has a piggy bank that can hold 100 pennies and 50 dimes. How much, in dollars, does Ivan have if he has filled his two piggy banks with those coins?
A: Ivan has 50 x 10 = 500 cents from the 50 dimes in his one piggy bank. So, he has a total of 100 + 500 = 600 cents in one of his piggy banks. Since 100 cents is equal to 1 dollar, then Ivan has 600 / 100 = 6 dollars from one of his piggy banks. Therefore, Ivan has a total of $6 x 2 piggy banks = $12 from his two piggy banks. The answer is 12.
