Question: Elsa's hockey team just made the playoffs along with two other teams. They make the playoffs by having the top three highest points for their records. Teams get 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and zero points for a loss. The first-place team has 12 wins and 4 ties. The second-place team has 13 wins and 1 tie. Elsa's team has 8 wins and 10 ties. What is the average number of points for the playoff teams?
Answer: The teams have 33 total wins because 12 + 13 + 8 = 33. The teams have 66 points from wins because 33 x 2 = 66. The teams have 15 total ties because 4 + 1 + 10 = 15. The teams have 15 points from ties because 15 x 1 = 15. The teams have 81 total points because 66 + 15 = 81. The average number of points per team is 27 because 81 / 3 = 27. The answer is 27.
[Question]Mr. Wells has a garden of flowers with 50 rows. If each row has 400 flowers and Mr. Wells cuts 60% of the flowers, how many flowers are remaining in the garden?
[Answer]If there are 50 rows of flowers with 400 flowers per row, there are 50 * 400 = 20000 flowers in the garden,. Mr. Wells cuts flowers from 60% of the flowers, which is 60 / 100 * 20000 = 12000 flowers. The total number of flowers remaining in the garden is 20000 - 12000 = 8000. The answer is 8000.
Q: Fatima has a piece of cloth that is 100 square inches big. She has decided to cut the cloth in half. She plans on keeping half and donating the other half. If she does this 2 times, then how much cloth will she have donated?
A: The first cut will result in 100 / 2 = 50 square inches of fabric. The second cut will result in 50 / 2 = 25 square inches of fabric. Fatima will have donated a total of 50 + 25 = 75 square inches of fabric. The answer is 75.
Question: Aliyah has 10 more phones than her sister Vivienne. If Vivienne has 40 phones, and the two sisters sell their phones at $400 each, calculate the total amount of money they have together?
Answer: The total amount of money that Vivienne gets from selling her phones is 40 * 400 = 16000. Since Aliyah has 10 more phones than Vivienne, she has 40 + 10 = 50 phones. When she sells her phones, Aliyah receives 50 * $400 = $20000. Together they have $20000 + $16000 = $36000. The answer is 36000.
[Question]Bugs are thriving in a garden of 30 plants. The bugs are very hungry today and completely ate 20 plants. The next day, they were still full and only ate half of the remaining plants. After that, they ate only 1 of the plants that were left. How many plants remain?
[Answer]The bugs ate enough plants for there to be 30 - 20 = 10 left. They were still full and only ate half, leaving 10 / 2 = 5 plants left. Later on, the bugs only ate 1 more which left 5 - 1 = 4 plants in the garden. The answer is 4.
[Question]Matt is four times as old as Fem. Currently, Fem is 11 years old. In two years, what is the sum of the ages of Matt and Fem?
[Answer]
Matt is 11 x 4 = 44 years old now. In 2 years, Matt will be 44 + 2 = 46 years old. In 2 years, Fem will be 11 + 2 = 13 years old. So, the sum of their ages in two years is 46 + 13 = 59 years old. The answer is 59.
