Q: Connie is trying to remember when her grandmother was born. She knows her grandmother's older brother was born in 1932, her older sister was born in 1936, and the gap between her grandmother and her sister is twice the gap between the older brother and the older sister. What year was Connie's grandma born?
A: First find the age gap between the older brother and sister by subtracting the earlier birth year from the later: 1936 - 1932 = 4 years. Then double the age gap to find how many years passed between the sister's birth and the grandmother's: 4 years * 2 = 8 years. Then add 8 years to the older sister's birth year to find the grandmother's birth year: 1936 + 8 = 1944. The answer is 1944.
Question: Tom, Tim, and Paul are collecting photos of cars. Paul has 10 photos more than Tim. Tim has one hundred photos less than the total amount of photos which is 152. How many photos does Tom have?
Answer: Tim has 152 photos - 100 photos = 52 photos. When Tim has 52 photos, then Paul has 52 + 10 photos = 62 photos. Tim and Paul have together 52 photos + 62 photos = 114 photos. That leaves Tom with 152 photos - 114 photos = 38 photos. The answer is 38.
[Question]In a 5-day Fishing competition, Jackson was able to reel a total of 6 fishes per day, Jonah was able to reel 4 fishes per day and George was able to reel 8 fishes per day. How many fishes were they able to catch throughout the competition if they are on the same team?
[Answer]Jackson gets a total of 6x5 = 30 fishes after the competition. Jonah gets 4x5 = 20 fishes after the competition. And George was able to get 8x5 = 40 fishes after the competition. Therefore the total fishes they were able to get for their team is 30 + 20 + 40 = 90. The answer is 90.
Q: Jane, Kyla, and Anthony have summer jobs in a resort. Their task is to fold guests' towels. Jane can fold 3 towels in 5 minutes. Kyla can fold 5 towels in 10 minutes, and Anthony can fold 7 towels in 20 minutes. If they all fold towels together, how many towels can they fold in one hour?
A: There are 1 x 60 minutes = 60 minutes in 1 hour. There are 60 / 5 = 12 sets of 5 minutes in 1 hour. So, Jane can fold 3 x 12 = 36 towels in an hour. There are 60 / 10 = 6 sets of 10 minutes in 1 hour. So, Kyla can fold 5 x 6 = 30 towels in an hour. There are 60 / 20 = 3 sets of 20 minutes in 1 hour. So, Anthony can fold 7 x 3 = 21 towels in an hour. Therefore, the 3 of them can fold a total of 36 + 30 + 21 = 87 towels in 1 hour. The answer is 87.
Question: A clinic administered the covid vaccine to 650 people. 80% of the people were adults. How many of the vaccinated people were children?
Answer: Since 80% of the people were adults, this means 100% - 80% = 20 % were children. 20% of the people vaccinated were children. The number of children is 20% of 650. 20% = 0.2, so 0.2 * 650 = 130 children were vaccinated. The answer is 130.
Q: A doctor needs to give medicine to a child, and he knows that he cannot give the same amount of medicine that he would give to an adult. The instructions say that for every kilogram of weight the child must be given 5 ml of medicine. The doctor knows that the child weighs 30 kilograms and that also the full dose has to be given in 3 equal parts. How many milligrams will each part of the dose be?
A:
The total number of ml needed is 30 kg x 5 ml / kg = 150 ml. Each dose has to be 150 ml / 3 doses = 50 ml / dose. The answer is 50.
