Q: Fernanda purchased six audiobooks from Audible to listen to from her audible app. If each audiobook was 30 hours long and she listened to 2 hours of an audiobook each day, calculate the total time it took her to finish the six audiobooks?
A: To finish an audiobook 30 hours long, listening to 2 hours of each audiobook a day, Fernanda took 30 hours / 2 hours / day = 15 days to finish one audiobook. If she purchased 6 audiobooks, the total number of days she will take to finish all the audiobooks is 6 audiobooks * 15 days / audiobook = 90 days. The answer is 90.
Question: Keanu was surfing towards the shore at a speed of 20 miles per hour. A shark was swimming alongside him, riding the same wave, when it doubled its speed and moved away from Keanu. There was a pilot fish swimming alongside Keanu and the shark, and when the shark increased its speed, the pilot fish also increased its speed and moved away from Keanu, but only increasing its speed by half as much as the shark had increased its speed by. What speed, in miles per hour, was the pilot fish swimming when it moved away from Keanu?
Answer: The shark went from 20 miles per hour to a speed of 2 * 20 = 40 miles per hour. The shark increased its speed by 40 - 20 = 20 miles per hour. Half of the shark's increase in speed is 20 / 2 = 10 miles per hour. Thus the pilot fish had increased its speed to 20 + 10 = 30 miles per hour. The answer is 30.
[Question]Rob and Mark plan to meet at the national park. It takes 1 hour for Rob to get to the national park and it takes three times as much time for Mark to get to the national park. If Rob leaves his home at 11 a.m., at what time should Mark leave his home so that they both arrive at the same time?
[Answer]It takes 1 hour * 3 = 3 hours for Mark to get to the national park. The extra time it takes Mark to get to the national park is 3 hours - 1 hour = 2 hours. Mark should leave his home at 11 a.m. - 2 hours = 9 a.m. The answer is 9.
Q: The tornado picked up the Smith's car and transported it 200 feet in the air before dropping it into the neighbors' pool. Also in the pool was a lawn chair that had been blown twice as far as the car had been transported. And the pool also contained a birdhouse that had flown through the air three times farther than the lawn chair had been blown. How far, in feet, far had the birdhouse flown?
A: The lawn chair was blown twice as far as the car, or 2 * 200 = 400 feet. The birdhouse had flown 3 times farther than the lawn chair had been blown, or 3 * 400 = 1200 feet. The answer is 1200.
Question: While on vacation in Hawaii, Steve and Georgia decided to ship pineapples to their home. Each pineapple costs $1.25 and they buy a dozen. It will cost $21.00 to ship all of them to their home. How much will each pineapple end up costing them?
Answer: They bought 12 pineapples for $1.25 apiece so 12 * 1.25 = $15.00. The pineapples cost $15.00 and it will cost $21.00 to ship so all total, it costs 15 + 21 = $36.00. In total it costs $36.00 to ship home a dozen pineapples so each pineapple costs 36 / 12 = $3.00 apiece. The answer is 3.
Q: A flagpole is 12 feet tall. It breaks, folding over in half, such that what was the tip of the flagpole is now dangling two feet above the ground. How far from the base, in feet, did the flagpole break?
A:
The break occurred (12 - 2) / 2 = 5 feet from the top. Then it was 12 - 5 = 7 feet from the base. The answer is 7.
