[Question]Sam is twice as old as Sue. Kendra is 3 times as old as Sam. If Kendra is currently 18, what will be their total age in 3 years?
[Answer]Sam is currently 18 / 3 = 6 years old. Sue is currently 6 / 2 = 3 years old. In three years, Sue will be 3 + 3 = 6. In three years, Same will be 6 + 3 = 9. In three years, Kendra will be 18 + 3 = 21. Their total age in three years is 6 + 9 + 21 = 36. The answer is 36.
Q: Martha's cat catches 3 rats and 7 birds. Cara's cat catches 3 less than five times as many animals as Martha's cat. How many animals does Cara's cat catch?
A: First find the total number of animals Martha's cat catches: 3 rats + 7 birds = 10 animals. Then multiply that number by 5: 10 animals * 5 = 50 animals. Then subtract 3 to find the total number of animals Cara's cat catches: 50 animals - 3 animals = 47 animals. The answer is 47.
Question: Mary went to the store to buy fruit. Apples cost $1, oranges cost $2, and bananas cost $3. For every 5 fruits that customers buy, the store offers a $1 discount. Mary buys 5 apples, 3 oranges, and 2 bananas. How much will she pay?
Answer: For 5 apples, Mary will pay 5 * 1 = 5 dollars. For 3 oranges, she will pay 3 * 2 = 6 dollars. For 2 bananas, she will pay 2 * 3 = 6 dollars. She bought 5 + 3 + 2 = 10 fruits. For 10 fruits, Mary gets a discount of 10 / 5 = 2 dollars. In total, the bill is 5 + 6 + 6 = 17 dollars. Subtracting the discount offered by the stores, Mary will pay 17 - 2 = 15 dollars. The answer is 15.
[Question]Jim decides he wants to practice for a marathon coming up. He starts off by running 5 miles every day for 30 days straight. He then pushes himself to run 10 miles a day for the next 30 days. Finally, as marathon day gets closer Jim runs 20 miles a day for 30 days straight. How many miles does Jim run in total during the 90 days?
[Answer]Jim runs 5 miles a day for 30 days for a total of 5 * 30 = 150 miles. The next month Jim runs 10 miles a day for 10 * 30 = 300 miles. The last month Jim runs 20 miles a day for 20 * 30 = 600 a month. All together, Jim runs 150 + 300 + 600 = 1050 miles in three months. The answer is 1050.
[Question]Sarah's age is equal to three times Mark's age minus 4. Mark is four years older than Billy. Billy is half Ana's age. If Ana will be 15 in 3 years, how old is Sarah?
[Answer]
First figure out how old Ana is right now by subtracting 3 from 15: 15 - 3 = 12. Next, figure out how old Billy is by dividing Ana's age by 2: 12 / 2 = 6. Now figure out how old Mark is by adding 4 to Billy's age: 6 + 4 = 10. Now, to figure out Sarah's age, first multiply Mark's age by 3: 10 * 3 = 30. Finally, subtract 4 from triple Mark's age to find Sarah's age: 30 - 4 = 26. The answer is 26.
