Question: There were 180 apples in each crate. 12 such crates of apples were delivered to a factory. 160 apples were rotten and had to be thrown away. The remaining apples were packed into boxes of 20 apples each. How many boxes of apples were there?
Answer: The total number of apples delivered was: 180 apples x 12 crates = 2160 apples. So, the number of remaining apples after throwing away the rotten ones was: 2160 apples 160 apples = 2000 apples. And now, we can find the total number of boxes of apples by dividing the remaining number of apples by the number of apples per box: 2000 apples / 20 apples / box = 100 boxes of apples. The answer is 100.
[Question]40 kids are running a race. 10% of them pass the finish line in less than 6 minutes. Three times that number finish in less than 8 minutes. 1/6 of the remaining kids take more than 14 minutes. How many kids take more than 14 minutes?
[Answer]First find how many kids finish in under 6 minutes: 40 kids * 10% = 4 kids. Then triple that number to find how many finish in less than 8 minutes: 4 kids * 3 = 12 kids. Then subtract those two numbers from the total number of kids to find the number of remaining kids: 40 kids - 4 kids - 12 kids = 24 kids. Then divide that number by 6 to find how many kids take more than 14 minutes: 24 kids / 6 = 4 kids. The answer is 4.
Q: Mark has a really bad headache. He takes 2 Tylenol tablets of 500 mg each and he does every 4 hours for 12 hours. How many grams of Tylenol does he end up taking?
A: He takes 12 / 4 = 3 doses. Each dose is 500 * 2 = 1000 mg. So he takes 3 * 1000 = 3000 mg. So he takes 3000 / 1000 = 3 grams of Tylenol. The answer is 3.
Question: In Fred the Farmer's barn, there were 100 horses, 29 sheep, and 9 chickens. Brian bought half of the animals and sold them at the market. Jeremy then gifted Fred an additional 37 goats. If exactly half of the animals in the barn are male animals, how many male animals are there in the barn?
Answer: Fred's barn started with 100 + 29 + 9 = 138 animals. Brian bought half of these, so there were 138 / 2 = 69 remaining. After Jeremy gifted Fred 37 goats, there were 69 + 37 = 106 animals in the barn. So, 106 / 2 = 53 of these animals are male. The answer is 53.
[Question]Francie saves up her allowance for several weeks. She receives an allowance of $5 a week for 8 weeks. Then her dad raises her allowance, and she receives $6 a week for 6 weeks. Francie uses half of the money to buy new clothes. With the remaining money, she buys a video game that costs $35. How much money does Francie have remaining after buying the video game?
[Answer]When her allowance is $5 a week, Francie gets a total of $5 * 8 = $40. When her allowance is $6 a week, Francie gets a total of $6 * 6 = $36. The total amount of money Francie gets is $40 + $36 = $76. After purchasing new clothes, she has $76 / 2 = $38 remaining. After buying the video game, Francie has $38 - $35 = $3 remaining. The answer is 3.
