[Question]In a week, Rayman works out for half the number of hours Junior takes to work out. Wolverine, their friend, works out for twice the combined total number of hours both Rayman and Junior take during their workouts. Calculate the number of hours Wolverine takes doing her workouts if Rayman does workouts for 10 hours in a week.
[Answer]If Rayman takes 10 hours doing his workouts, half the number of hours junior takes, then Junior takes 2 * 10 = 20 hours to do his workouts in a week. Altogether, Junior and Rayman take 20 + 10 = 30 hours doing their workouts in a week. Wolverine takes 2 * 30 = 60 hours to do her workouts in a week, twice the total number of hours Rayman and Junior takes. The answer is 60.
Q: Bess and Holly are playing Frisbee at the park. Bess can throw the Frisbee as far as 20 meters and she does this 4 times. Holly can only throw the Frisbee as far as 8 meters and she does this 5 times. Each time Bess throws a Frisbee, she throws it back to her original position. Holly leaves her Frisbee where it lands every time she throws it. In total, how many meters have the thrown Frisbees traveled?
A: Bess throws the Frisbee out 4 times * 20 meters each time = 80 meters. She then throws it back which doubles the distance traveled to 80 meters * 2 = 160 meters. Holly throws the Frisbee out 5 times * 8 meters = 40 meters. So in total, Holly and Bess have thrown the Frisbees 160 + 40 = 200 meters. The answer is 200.
Question: The minimum age required to be employed at a company is 25 years. Dara aspires to work for the company and will be half the age of Jane in six years. If Jane is currently working for the company and is 28 years old, how long is it before Dara reaches the minimum age required by the company to be employed?
Answer: In six years, Jane will be 28 + 6 = 34 years old. Dara will be half the age of Jane in six years, meaning she will be 34 / 2 = 17 years old in six years. Currently, Dara is 17 - 6 = 11 years old. Dara has to wait for 25 - 11 = 14 more years to reach the company's minimum age of employment. The answer is 14.
[Question]James decides to try and collect rare artifacts in the field. He spends 6 months researching before going on a 2-year-long expedition for his first find. The second artifact takes 3 times as long for the research and discovery. How long did it take him to find both?
[Answer]The research took 6 / 12 = .5 years. So it took 2 + .5 = 2.5 years for the first artifact. It takes 2.5 * 3 = 7.5 years for the second. So in total it took 2.5 + 7.5 = 10 years to find both. The answer is 10.
Q: In a guessing game, Hajar's score is 24 points. The difference in the scores between Hajar and Farah's score in the game is 21. What is the sum of their scores, assuming Farah's score is higher than Hajar's?
A: If the difference in scores between Farah and Hajar in the game is 21 points, and Hajar's score is 24, then Farah has a score of 21 + 24 = 45 points. The overall score in the game is 45 + 24 = 69. The answer is 69.
Question: Jamie is in a walking group with 4 other ladies. The ladies all walk 3 miles together. On top of that, Jamie walks an additional 2 miles per day for 6 days while her friend Sue walks half that amount in 6 days. If they walk this same route 6 days a week, how many miles do the ladies walk in total?
Answer:
There are 5 ladies total in the group. They all walk 3 miles a day for 6 days so 3 * 6 = 18 miles. Jamie walks an additional 2 miles per day for 6 days so 2 * 6 = 12 miles. Sue walks half the distance of Jamie so 12 / 2 = 6 miles. Together, the ladies walk 18 + 12 + 6 = 36 miles. The answer is 36.
