Q: The total number of years in a century is the same as the number of marbles Gideon has. If he gives 3/4 of the marbles to his sister and multiples the number of remaining marbles by 2, he gets his age five years from now. How old is Gideon now?
A: A century has 100 years, and if Gideon has as many marbles as the number of years in a century, he has 100 marbles. If he gives 3 / 4 of the marbles to his sister, he gives out 3 / 4 * 100 = 75 marbles. Gideon's total number of marbles remaining after giving 3 / 4 of the marbles to his sister is 100 - 75 = 25. When he multiplies the number of remaining marbles by 2, he gets his age five years from now, meaning he will be 25 * 2 = 50 years old five years from now. Currently, Gideon is 50 - 5 = 45 years old. The answer is 45.
Question: On a particular day, a car traveled from Ningi to Zipra in 80% of the time it traveled from Ngapara to Zipra. If the car took 60 hours to travel from Ngapara to Zipra, calculate the total time the car traveled that day.
Answer: If the car traveled from Ningi to Zipra in 80% of the time it traveled from Ngapara to Zipra, it took 80 / 100 * 60 = 48 hours to travel from Ningi to Zipra. The total travel time that day is 48 + 60 = 108 hours. The answer is 108.
[Question]Annie was given a pack of crayons. The pack contained 21 crayons. She already had a box of 36 crayons in her locker. Her friend Bobby gave her half the amount she already had in her locker. She decided to give her sister Mary 1/3 of her total amount of crayons. How many crayons does she give to Mary?
[Answer]Annie starts with 21 + 36 = 57 crayons. Bobby ends up giving her 36 / 2 = 18 crayons. Annie now has a total of 57 + 18 = 75 crayons. She ends up giving Mary a total of 75 * (1 / 3) = 25 crayons. The answer is 25.
Q: A single line is worth 1000 points. A tetris is worth 8 times that much. Tim scored 6 singles and 4 tetrises. How many points did he score?
A: A tetris is worth 8 * 1000 = 8000 points. So he scored 4 * 8000 = 32000 points from tetrises. He also scores 6 * 1000 = 6000 points from singles. So in total he scores 32000 + 6000 = 38,000 points. The answer is 38000.
Question: A portable battery charger can fully charge a smartphone in 26 minutes or a tablet in 53 minutes. Ana charged her tablet fully and her phone halfway. How many minutes did it take?
